All hail the International Film Festival...held in Wellington! *grins and bows*

Today I went to the Figwit Doco with my friend, Hwin. We took a train into Wellington at 10 am. I hate having to walk to stations at 10 in the morning!

Anyway, We went, we saw, we fell off chairs laughing.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. The cinema, the Paramount, sold Kapati icecream, NZ's best (and most expensive) icecream. *drools* The Paramount also has twice the leg-room of any cinema I have ever seen! We could stretch our feet right out!

The crowd was filled with celebrities of the ilk of Lil' Phil off the Morning Crew at 91ZM and several What Now? hosts.....all were comenting on the extraordinary leg-room.

Enough about the leg-room....gods, there was lots of it though....anyway, after a brief speech by the film makers the doco actually started.

It began with a series of interviews, the cast and crew of LotR, the creators of FigwitLives.net, various pictures of Bret McKenzie with giant blinking red arrows.

Ian McKellen was particularly amusing. "Figwit? Which one was he? *huge, big, cheesy grin* Oh....I remember now."

It continued with the story of Bret's rise to stardom, his additional part in RotK, The Flight of the Concordes, The Black Seeds, various other projects he has been involved in, shot of Bret walking up the red carpet at RotK.

For all who care and manage to see this doco, I'm the one hanging off the bars with a wooden sword in my hand.

I'm kinda hard to miss.

*sweat-drop*

The sword is really big.

Yeah....

the film finished off with credits and shots of various people...practically everyone involved in the doco really...pouting.

PJ was especially funny, as was Dom, Billy and Elijah's Turn-and-pout-in-unison trick!

If you're wondering why I'm not saying much, it's because I'm trying to convince you to go see it yourselves. the film makers are seeing about getting it out on DVD sometime soon.

Look for it at a CD shop near you.

*pouts*
