The Top 7 Reasons Your
Movie Didn’t Win at Sundance


7> “Do I have to explain this to you every year, Mr. Arquette?”

6> “Ladies and gentlemen… ‘My Dinner With Yahoo Serious.’”

5> Adding subtitles and calling it an art film helped a little, but really, no one’s interested in a crossover called “From Justin to Gigli.”

4> Parker Posey isn’t in it, stuff blows up and it contains no angst whatsoever.

3> “Frankly, the footage is grainy, the focus often goes soft, and besides, we usually don’t show this kind of movie here, Miss Hilton.”

2> Although it’s an academic, incisive documentary on gay culture, “Robert Redford: Homo Movie Idol” didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.

and the Number 1 Reason Your Movie Didn’t Win at Sundance…

1> “Animals were harmed and killed in the making of this film. Sorry.”
