Because I could really do with one right now!  Was confirmed for 3 LAFF red carpets last night, 2 of them at the same time, and the 3rd one on during the cocktail reception for the 1st one at the Live. Create.Lounge.

Guess which one I chose?

The cocktail party, and the red carpet premiere of Cyrus of course. Couldn't miss the chance to meet the marvellous Marisa Tomei. 

She has 2 men fighting over her in Cyrus and yeah, who can blame them, because in this film, like so many others, she just shines.

And I have to say, John C Reilly, wouldn't have picked him for rom com leading man material, but his awkward sensitivity just stole the film.  I want to know who came up with his lines, because I read in the PR info that the Duplass brothers directed the film with their 'unique improvisational style' - so is a scriptwriter credited with those witty one-liners, or is John C Reilly?  That magical moment when he asks Ms Marisa Tomei how she could ever like him - "because look at me, I'm SHREK!". Then when he finally fesses up and tells her that her son hates him. "And actually... I HATE HIM too".   I want more! 

And its only day 2 of the festival. Lots more coming up - If only I can work out which screening to run to next...
