Star-gazing still big part of Sundance

Just my two cents.....
Only if you know nothing about film and think the only purpose of a film is to provide mindless entertainment for a few hours - and that a film that does anything else is a failure. Only if you completely fail to understand that film is an artform.
Take away the press and the famous and the festival becomes quiet and ignored. It might still have some good films but it would lose a lot.
I see 1-5 films each year and I enjoy most and take in a stinker now and then.
I always miss some that come to theaters too, and I usually find them pretty great as well.
The "film as art" comment is well said.
Seriously. And this doesn't apply to only independent films, but also to many a critical darling. Remember No Country for Old Men, and how it got wonderful reviews and oscar nominations. Not only was it mind numbingly dull, it ended in the middle of a scene.
Redford can have his celebration of films that weren't good enough to be backed by a major studio. I do wish he'd have it somewhere else though. Like Mars.
You're stupid, "Independant Film" isn't another name for "Bad Movie", if that were the case I can think of plenty of "Independant Films" produced for millions and released in theaters.
