Stardust Memories

My favorite part of the Outfest Inside Deep Throat sneak peek at the Egyptian Cinematque last night was when a guy came up after the screening to make a comment after waiting patiently for his turn to speak.  He introduced himself as a die-hard Republican.  He explained that he'd spent the hour before the screening cheering on Bush and his state-of-the-union address.  I thought I was about to be attacked. instead, he shook my hand and said, Thanks for making a political movie that wasn't divisive.   I slept well after that.

This morning, James St, James told me Elijah Wood was there, so I guess if I'd spoken to him that might have been my favorite part of the screening.  Although, now that I think of it, the best part of the evening was when Gerard Damiano, the director of Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones (and many other classics!) walked out after the credit roll and got a standing ovation.
