Sundance 2010

Overheard at Sundance: 1/25

At Sundance, you can pretty much count on the fact that you will overhear two types of things: people having articulate, passionate conversations about film, and people just straight-up being kinda dumb. We’d like to thank the latter for their continued contributions to Overheard at Sundance. So, who was talking a little too loudly yesterday in Park City, and what former Sundance starlet felt the dent in her cachet?

The middle of the day, walking up Main St.
Drunk Twentysomething Guy #1: “I don’t think so, man. I can’t walk and hold a cup at the same time.”
Drunk Twentysomething Guy #1: “Dude, you can’t even walk right now.”

Outside the Cineglaad party at Downstairs Bar
Man Literally Dressed Up as Jack Sparrow: (to doorman) “I’m on the list! Don’t worry, I’m on the list.”

At CAA party, next to a row of empty couches
Security Guard: (to Parker Posey) “I’m sorry. This seating is reserved.”

Is parker posey ever not at sundance. And I don't just mean the festival, she must hang around that town all year.

C'mon ML, you cannot leave us hanging like that! Who was seated first, Parker Posey, or Jack Sparrow???

That's a trick question: once she finally took off the Jack Sparrow getup, Parker Posey was allowed inside, but they still weren't gonna give her a seat.

I had my heart set on Joaquin Phoenix as the one hiding behind the beads and buckles.

Has anyone ever figuratively dressed up as Jack Sparrow?

Without intending it, yes.

This has been my favorite feature on the site since you started the coverage of Sundance and I hope that it inspires at the least a weekly rundown of things overheard in agency or studio lobbies.

here here. especially what other people said at screenings.
