Eating Chocolate Cake in a Bag

I have been becoming more and more interested in the mumblecore or bedhead cinema movement springing up from SXSW and other festivals, largely because I see a lot of connections to microcinema, though it is not explicitly being called that. Here a bunch of twentysomethings tell personal stories digitally with a lot of improv and handheld camera and poorly-captured audio. I genuinely don't know if this is done from budgetary constraints (like a lot of my Microcinema Fest brethren) or from general insouciance.

Last night I checked out HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS and although I found it more interesting than maddening I learned one important thing: that I am probably too old for mumblecore.

I have to give them credit for sticking to that old microcinema standby of finding a cute girl willing to make out with several nerd filmmakers who normally would never even be able to talk to the aforementioned party.

All that being said I think I will Netflix up THE PUFFY CHAIR.
