Sundance, day six: Semi-starspotting

Well, actually, the starspotting is minimal, especially in the back half of a festival. You get an odd conglomeration of B-listers and former almost-A-listers. For instance, behind me in the industry hospitality tent as I type, Crispin Glover is being interviewed by some journalists; he's in town with the second very, very strange midnight movie he has directed, "It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE." He's looking confident in his eccentricity. Yesterday, I was told by one festivalgoer, Lea Thompson was seen driving down Main Street and was stopped by a random passerby who pulled from his briefcase three glossies of the actress in her 1980s heyday and got her to sign them. Either that's serendipity or the guy is prepared for every occasion and every John Hughes survivor.

Anyway, between Glover and Thompson, you've almost got half the cast of "Back to the Future." Christopher Lloyd must have a good reason for not being here.
