Tomorrow marks the start of Sundance, Robert Redford’s storied swagfest independent movie festival, high in the mountains of Park City, Utah. And for the very first time ever, PopWatchers, yours truly will be there. In fact, tomorrow marks the start of Whitney’s First Film Festival of Any Kind. (Sometimes I watch Coyote Ugly, Center Stage, and Bring It On back-to-back-to-back, but I suspect that doesn’t count.)
So to commemorate this special occasion, PopWatchers — and because of my undying devotion to you and all that you are — I will be posting daily blog wrap-ups of my experience, right here on EW.com. Yes it’s true: Now you can see Sundance through the eyes of a hyperactive, easily distracted, occasionally drunk solipsist who cannot pronounce "Iñárritu." It’s gonna be phenomenal.
I’ll write something up every night to let you know what I’m up to — What movies did I see? What celebs did I chat with? Have I done irreparable damage to my already-weak ACL by trying to snowboard for the first time in 8 years? — and my blogmasters will post it in the morning. The point is to give you an up close and personal look at this annual entertainment juggernaut. It’ll be like you’re in my pocket. Join me, won’t you?
Please don’t die snowboarding. We’d miss you.
I want your job!!

Man. Whitney, you’re suddenly the total bombshell of 2007 in the world of EW Popwatch. I’m feeling the (sometimes) drunken solipsist love running in high PopWatch gear. Girlfriend, I’m going to sit back on my (sometimes) drunken bum and wait for your Sundance(ing) fun tonic to wash over me.
xoxo,
Luke (wanna be my new BBF? For a little while, at least.)
Sometimes I watch “Coyote Ugly,” “Bring It On,” and “Center Stage” all in a row too! But then, after that I watch “The Cutting Edge” and then…all is right with the world.
The Cutting Edge? So wait, you’re NOT in the Merchant Marine?
Whitney, have the awesomest time possible, and be sure to interview Kevin Smith so we can swap spit with him again this year!
Ep Sato-
I remember that convo with K Smith last year. That was awesome. One of the best popwatch comment sections ever.
Pastorek (I love saying/writing your last name instead), I went to Park City when Sundance wasn’t there and it’s a beautiful quaint city. But being from Neuva York, you probably won’t appriciate it as much. I’m from CA and any place with snow is quaint and beautiful.
Please remember to let us know which top stars slipped in the snow, vomited after hours and most of all, which big name movie gets BOOED!
Me in whitney P’s pocket. I get giddy at the thought.
Whitney, my fellow H-town girl, have a fabulous time at Sundance. Cannot wait to hear the updates. If they happen to start passing out iPhones in a swag tent, snag an extra one for me, ok? (I ain’t spending $600 dollars on a phone–Steve Jobs is trippin’!)
Hmm, cozy. Wait, what’s this, a mint? Sorry, I stepped on it. Oh hey, did you know you have a five in here?
Hey Whit-
Is EW sending anyone to cover the Slamdance Film Festival too? Grace Lee’s “American Zombie” is being debuted there and I heard the flick is like the money, you know “the bomb”.
swaggots.
Whit – wow, from Houston to Mt. Ida, Arkansas all the way to Sundance – way to go!
love, your favorite former camper …
It’s very amazing Films festival so i can get useful general information about world’s films.
thanks
