This is also his first time at Sundance. If this is what he's capable of pulling off as a newbie, it will be fun to see what he does as he becomes a more seasoned writer.

Posted Tue Jan 31, 2012 at 01:50 PM PST by Aaron PeckIt's a well-known fact that High-Def Digest editor-in-chief Mike Attebery has a special fondness for Gwyneth Paltrow (and by fondness, I mean blinding hatred largely inspired by goop).

Aaron's Sundance 2012 Journal: Day 5
Posted Thu Jan 26, 2012 at 02:45 PM PST by Aaron PeckI'm convinced that the toughest part of Sundance is catching a screening that goes until midnight, and then turning around and going to a 9:00am screening the next morning. I don't do it very often, but that's what happened to me today.
