I've been looking forward to this film fest for months now! I love docs because I actually feel smarter after watching them. I think I'll die if I watch another episode of America's Next Top Model or The Apprentice.

It is a sad statement on society that the only way a poet can get a movie made about him is to kill two people and then escape from jail. Apparently this lunatic even has a fan club, how sick is that?
