A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

You're probably about ready for us to stop talking about the Philadelphia Film Festival now, and indeed that trolley has pretty much pulled out of town, but we thought we'd throw in just one more post, this time discussing the festival's final statistics and awards. You can find the complete list of award-winners on the festival home page, and detailed audience ballot results here. The stats suggest that the festival was more crowd-pleasing than ever this year, as it had a record-breaking attendance level of 66,300, and 52% of the films received audience ratings of "Very Good" or better.

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend.

The Descent None

Future Screenings: None

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

  • Twitch has the inside track on the lineup of films for the 2006 Philadelphia Film Festival's Danger After Dark series, traditionally Phillyist's favorite program at the festival. They got it in an email from the programmer himself, Mr. Travis Crawford. Sigh. We remember when Travis used to send us the line-up ahead of time. What happened this year, Travis? Were we bad? Anyway, as usual the schedule is littered with East Coast and North American premiers, and all kinds of crazy-sounding foreign films we can't wait to see. You can follow the link for the full list, but two of the highlights are The Descent (acclaimed British horror film "about young women fighting monsters in a cave" from the maker of Dog Soldiers) and Lady Vengeance (the final entry in Park Chan-wook's vengeance trilogy; you could have caught the first two entries at the film festival in previous years). Phillyist can't wait. (Via)
