AFI: The Closing Night
I promise you: that’s Charlize Theron in the photo. On the right is Michael Cain. I was told by one AFI volunteer that Theron awoke Saturday morning with a 102-degree temperature. But that didn’t stop her from making her appointed rounds and accepting her AFI Dallas Star Award at the NorthPark screening of Battle in Seattle. I found the movie a disorganized mess. I didn’t care about the characters. I didn’t care about the outcome. At the after party at the House of Blues, Big Bob Wilsonky described the movie to me as Crash with tear gas. I think that’s generous. Speaking of the after party, after the jump you’ll find photos of the Polyphonic Spree concert. The highlight for me was their encore rendition of Nirvana’s “Lithium.” Good stuff.
