All in all, opening night of SIFF this year wasn't half-bad. The movie was good, the weather cooperated, and unlike last year, there was actually free food and drinks. Of course, the program didn't start until 20 minutes late, which means after all the introductions and thank yous, the film was on at 8 p.m. instead of 7. You know, SIFF stuff.

THE BIG SHOW: Tonight is the official opening gala of the 2009 Seattle International Film Festival. The film showing is , a wacky British satire of contemporary politics, with a talented ensemble cast including James Gandolfini, who (except for Gandolfini) are expected to be in attendance at the gala tonight. For non-members, you can get in for $50, which gets you into the movie (at the Paramount) as well as a couple drink tickets and some hors d'oeuvres. For $100, you can access to the open bar. And for $200, you get the first-born child of one of Swaziland's most well-regarded actors.
