As you might expect, the real world (two days removed from TFF) isn't as much fun as the Reel world...
CONTINUED RESPONSES TO TFF #41
Gathered for this year's "Class Photo" Hilary Swank, Jon Stewart, and Channing Tatum (Getty Images)
I have continued to gather reactions to this year's group of films from critics and those that roam the awards season landscape. Included in a couple of the wrap-ups and reviews are kind mentions of MTFB...to Alex Billington/First Showing and Sasha Stone/Awards Daily...thanks! They're two of the best in the business and are always encouraging about this small enterprise. So we'll start there:
Sasha reviews the weekend here:

RATE THOSE FILMS
The ratings from readers have begun to come in and this is your reminder to be a part of the annual rating compilation of the films you saw at Telluride. Please drop me a line with your rating of each of the films you saw using a 0-5 scale with "0" for the atrocious and "5" for the sublime. Send them to me via Twitter @Gort2 or email: michael_speech@hotmail.com or as a comment to this post. I'll collate them and publish the results in the next week or so. It's fun!
More tomorrow...
