If it's January, it must be Sundance when the city's movers and shakers in the film industry descend into Park City. And why not, since there are tons of art house cinemas here, as well as indie movie companies and indie movies being shot here. However, the Reeler, aka S.T. VanAirsdale, is out in Sundance and posted this photograph of a car over there that shows how the other half lives - that is, live with hate of NYC. Well, Utah, you can take your wide open spaces and polygamy - we've got bedbugs and no breathing room on a rush hour subway. But if you want to tell Utah to suck it, you can make your own vanity license plate here.
Gothamist will have a post about Sundance movies later this week. And the doc about NY Times crossword guru Will Shortz, Wordplay, is showing there. We're curious about it - but also fearful that this will lead to a Sudoku TV show.
