Well, okay, very few, actually. Well, were soaked. (whichour critic generally approved of) toThe Great Buck Howard; fromAnvil!...

A muted calm descended over certain events (honestly, did anybodyreallyfeel like partying? ), while an awkward episode at one late-day screening outraged audience members. Sundance soldiered on, but it will likely remain a day that many in town wont forget.

It’s (almost) a wrap! After all, this may go down as one of the slower Sundances ever in terms of sales. continued to seek some marketplace love. Highlights from our penultimate day in Park City… You think thats chatty? Think of them as the indie version of wind-up dolls. Say cheeseWhile our only-in-print celeb chats were rowdy, ourvideo interviewsmay have seemed downright reserved by comparison. But, in actual fact, they were super sweet....

For one thing, I was leaving that detail duty to Rickmans No. 1 Most Awesomest Fan, Whitney Pastorek. (El Jefe Pastorek and I share this sentiment.) It seemslike its still a small town, but something else is going on. [Laughs] Bottle Shockis the second film youve made with director Randy Miller [after 2007sNobel Son]. Im guessing you get along.Ilove working with Randy and Jody [Savin, the cowriter]. God knows itshappened before that directors and writers build up a repertory ofactors....

Ah, well, dang. Paul Rudd just left. He said hed come back… but I think now Im suffering from a bit of a self-esteem problem. I mean, sure, its a blog. And theyre all very busy and important, whereas I am just, you know, busy. But its all I have, people. Its all I am. Oh, my heart. Now the question on the table is: To seeHounddog, or not to seeHounddog?...

But did I go straight home afterSlingshot Hip-Hop? No, I did not. I wish thered been more people there to see it. To make up for that, I am dedicating the entirety of after the jump to him. hey join me there, PopWatchers. The guys a handsome Canadian who grew up sailing instead of playing hockey. Whats not to love? Imagine tinny pop music playing in the background. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:So,Chronic Town....

And after I ate the food, it all went to hell. Theyd already ordered by the time I arrived. I think I ate some crackers. It didnt do a lot for me. Below, Ive reprinted a bit of our interview. Andthats Sundance, Day 5: The day I stopped puking and remembered whyIm here. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Obviously, I cant be familiar with where the character of Demetrius comes from. Likewise, Ive never been accosted by someone just for setting foot in their small West Texas town....

After that, its off to somewhere else. I think Matt Labov might be using it as a placemat. I really want to steal one of Matt Labovs fries. It may have something to do with Alan Rickman and wine. Kicked off Friday morning by crying for the second time in two years. Last year, it was Laura Linney andThe Savages. (Fox Searchlight is distributing.) Im interviewing three of the choir members and their warm-hearted director, Bob, tomorrow watch this space!...

Hello there, PopWatchers! It is currently 1:40 a.m. here in Park City, Utah. I thought it was the reinvention of torture. Later, I caught the premiere ofThe Guitar,the directorial debut of Amy Redford. Sometimes both of them at once. She also learns to play the guitar. Janeane Garofalo plays her doctor. (Garofalos pink-lipsticked mouth got a lot of very tight close-ups. After the jump: Details on our dinner with Alan Rickman!...

Ill try and catch it again before Igo. Credit: Evan Agostini/Getty Images Thispart is not bad. We didnt see a whole lot. Matisyahu picked up some SnowJoggers boots for his wife. Nick Noltes people pretty much clubbed usover the head to get to the Lacoste shirts....

All right, PopWatchers! and Ive got time for one last blog post before I crash. Also because I am a professional, I am way late with this EW Party wrap-up. You knew Id come through, didnt you? After all, I made a promise, and I keep all of my promises, PopWatchers. (All I can say is the crappy resolution on the machine at Pizza Hut really threw me off. I cant work under those conditions....

Howdy there, PopWatchers, and greetings from the snowy streets of Park City! Im hanging in there. (Insert photo of cat clinging desperately to tree branch here.) I have gotten used to surviving on a diet of Clif bars and water. I no longer spend hours hysterically highlighting schedules. I may even be having fun. Also, I met Roger Clemens today. The Official Beer of Whitney. But lemme guess: Its the movies you want to hear about, right?...

In trying to sum up my entire Sundance experience, I admit Im struggling a little. And should you be drinking the free cocktails if breakfast, lunch, and dinner were a Clif bar? How do you catch a wave upon the sand, PopWatchers? Well, Im not sure. Time is ofthe essence, and, as with all blogs, so is expediency. So whats the best way to do this wrap-up? I guess Im going with alist....
