Usually all anyone can talk about in Hollywood the third week of January is Sundance, Sundance and more Sundance. Right now, of course, mostly they're talking about is the strike, the strike, the strike.
Out's got special correspondents (read: editors) on the ground in Utah to report back on the latest and greatest next wave of queer cinema, and a number of our good friends are there blogging and phoning in sightings, too.
In the meantime, please appreciate this very poorly constructed sentence from the Los Angeles Times' list of things you don't know about the film festival:
Robert Redford is not the founder! The Utah/US Film Festival was founded in 1978 by Sterling van Wegener--a Bringham Young University film school grad and John Earle, the Utah State film commissioner. Redford, who was then married to van Wegener's wife, agreed to be the festival board's first chairman.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Redford is also not a bigamist! And that the current Mrs. van Wegener is actually the ex-Mrs. Redford, though the way that phrase is written it sounds like a Big Love joke waiting to happen.
