Uh, I'm glad I saw this film last night because you've included a couple of signifcant plot spoilers (sans alert) in your "review". Lame.

Oh, please. Not all plot points are spoilers. And none of these things would ruin anyone's enjoyment of the film in the least.

Are there any people we would have heard of in any of the pictures? I am just curious?

@2: The biggest applause of the night came when the mother shucked her veil. If the audience had known ahead of time that sooner or later the character was going to stand up for herself, the reaction would not have been the same. THAT'S a spoiler!

Well, the biggest round of applause of the night proved many, many audience members are complete idiots. That was the most embarrassing, reactionary scene in the film, and I'm not afraid to call it out.

Tom Skerritt is the biggest celeb that SIFF could attract.... AGAIN? Honestly, I'd be more excited about spotting Duct Tape Guy.

The Ann & Nancy Wilson tribute at EMP last night had Kate Hudson. And Dale Chihuly, but he's practically the Tom Skerritt of the art world. Dude would go to the opening of a paper bag.

Geesh, annie, mellow out.

If you actually knew who people are, you'd have seen tons of celebs at the parties, but I don't like drawing too much attention to them, as it can be a real drag having everyone glom onto you.

And if you want a fun party, it's always way more fun at the less than VIP party. True at SAM, true at Cannes, true at Venice, and very true at SIFF.

But I love not standing in line for munchies - the only real bonus for the VIP parties.

The Ezell's guys were the best (see the pic above). Not only did they bless us with their smiles as they dished out their crispy goodness, but they were bopping to "Rockit" the whole time. That said, I had to yell over the too-loud music all night. My throat still hurts.

True about the throat hurt, but mine was from the ad montage before the main flick.

@9: Well, I didn't bother with the VIP room at the after-party; I understand there were local politcos (but not Greg Nickels) and various minor celebrities there. I do not pretend to be exhaustive!
