Sundance Institute announced today the lineup of films screening at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in the out-of-competition sections of Premieres, Spectrum, New Frontier, and Park City at Midnight. Celebrating its 25th year, the 2009 Sundance Film Festival runs January 15-25 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Sundance, Utah.

Yesterday we shared with you the competition slate for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, which, depending on the paper you read, was full of the dark and disturbing or the sad and melodramatic. Good to know we'll be smiling in the cold mountains of Utah come January. Today, the Sundance Institute has announced their non-competition films; this includes the Premieres section, which is usually full of studio flicks -- stuff that's set to debut in theaters the following month or so, and films that feature big stars; the big guns. Then we have the Spectrum section (with 16 dramatic films and seven docs), the Midnight section (eight films), and the Frontier section (six films).

Among the ones that stand out to me at first glance are:

• I Love You Philip Morris (Premiere), with Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor playing prison lovers.
• Adventureland - The director of Superbad follows that flick up with a comedy set in a theme park.
• The Informers (Premiere), based on the popular Bret Easton Ellis novel, and starring Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Winona Ryder and Mickey Rourke.
• Moon (Premiere), which is that freaky space flick starring Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey.
• Manure (Premiere), starring Billy Bob Thornton as a manure salesman.
• Spread, starring Ashton Kitcher as a guy who seduces older women. (Wonder if he's right for that role?)
• Helen ( Spectrum), starring Ashley Judd as a psychiatrist who fights her own depression.
• The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle (Spectrum) -- I just love that title.
• Spring Breakdown (Midnight), starring Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Parker Posey, Will Arnett, Rachel Hamilton.

As we do every year, Cinematical will be on the ground in Park City, Utah bringing you reviews, interviews and enough Sundance flavor to send a brisk mountain chill through your soul. Check out the full non-competition slate (with descriptions) after the jump.

More importantly, though, the game is based on an all-new OpenGL-based platform that allows for more variety not just in crazy background graphics, but in changing the layout of the tapping tracks themselves which is a nice switch up in game play. Tapulous CEO Bart Decrem says that the platform also allows for embedded video for even more craziness in the background eventually and interactive music videos of sorts./p pAdding embedded video and more craziness might lead to slowdowns, which in a rhythm game is a no-no. The version we played can get a little jerky at times, but on the whole is smooth and looks great. Tap Tap Dance is $5, but the free version will continue to receive its weekly updates and new tracks, and will eventually be ported over to the new Open GL framework itself next year./p pobject width="640" height="361"param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2418086amp;server=vimeo.comamp;show_title=1amp;show_byline=1amp;show_portrait=0amp;color=00ADEFamp;fullscreen=1" embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2418086amp;server=vimeo.comamp;show_title=1amp;show_byline=1amp;show_portrait=0amp;color=00ADEFamp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="361"/object/p pTap Tap Dance's complete song list:/p blockquote p- Technologic by Daft Punkbr - Zdarlight by Digitalismbr - Phantom Pt II (Soulwax Remix) by Justicebr - Stratosphere by Junkie XLbr - Disco Lies (Remix) by Mobybr - Midnight Madness by The Chemical Brothersbr - Goldrush by Tiestobr - Compressor by Soul Magic Orchestra (Exclusive)br - Where's Your Head At by Basement Jaxxbr - Daylight (Exclusive Morgan Page Remix) by Sunny Levine/p /blockquote p[a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=298120834mt=8"Tap Tap Dance/a - iTunes]/p br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=35c8a1f46de7bf6190e11f9da4e17fb2p=1"img alt="" style="border: 0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=35c8a1f46de7bf6190e11f9da4e17fb2p=1"//a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=35c8a1f46de7bf6190e11f9da4e17fb2" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=4WATo7Bz"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?d=120" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=Yx2aM1Fk"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=jpikOF4S"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=jpikOF4S" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=k3ezrLpY"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=k3ezrLpY" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~4/EeXpHY_yWaE" height="1" width="1"/

That exercise left Teague so inspired that he fleshed out what a modern-day Gremlin might look like. Being fond of the original helps us like this new take on the car, even if it's pretty far removed looks-wise. We like that it's not blatantly retro; the only real concession to the past is the C-Pillar shape, and hey, the Infiniti FX already swiped that. The proportions and overall look bring to mind several current vehicles from other manufacturers, making us think that the Gremlin was about 35 years ahead of its time. br /br /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="%GalleryURL%"AMC Gremlin by Jeff Teague/a/strong/pa href="/gallery/amc-gremlin-by-jeff-teague/1201580/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/44_amcgremlinremake_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="/gallery/amc-gremlin-by-jeff-teague/1201581/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/45_amcgremlinremake_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="/gallery/amc-gremlin-by-jeff-teague/1201585/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/46_amcgremlinremake_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="/gallery/amc-gremlin-by-jeff-teague/1201582/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/47_amcgremlinremake_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="/gallery/amc-gremlin-by-jeff-teague/1201579/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/48_amcgremlinremake_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divbr /[Source: a href="http://www.socalamc.com/forum/index.php?topic=343.0"socalamc.com/a via a href="http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2008/12/03/teague-designs-gremlin-but-not-that-teague-and-not-that-gremlin/"Hemmings/a]p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/04/dont-let-it-eat-after-midnight-amc-gremlin-reimagined/"Don't let it eat after midnight - AMC Gremlin reimagined/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.autoblog.com"Autoblog/a on Thu, 04 Dec 2008 11:30:00 EST.

You opened it. Good luck
Tonight at midnight, your true love will realize they love you. Something good will happen to you at 100-420 tomorrow,it could be anywhere. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
Karma If there is someone you loved (or still do) and can't get them off your mind, repost this in another city within five minutes.
Tonight between 1 and 4 am they will remember how much they loved you as well. You will get the shock of your life tomorrow
Trust me on this...it will happen
Feel free to email me hate mail for this, I deserve it :)

The person I work with for print layout and graphics misunderstood a midnight deadline for an ad--and I think I will be okay if I can pull something together by morning. I don't have (or know) PageMaker so I thought I'd try working in Pages, which I have successfully used the templates from in the past. I am not very experienced with something as specific as a 3 5/8" w X 10" h no bleed request. I have tried margins in the Inspector but can't figure out the easiest way to start with these boundaries. I will be fine if I can get my "frame." Can anyone help? Thanks!:confused:

This... game... is ... indescribable.

It's WAY better than TTR any day.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports:

"Police say a 50-year-old man was critically injured in an attack with a bottle outside a Salt Lake City bar and gym that reputedly caters to the gay community -- and that may make it a possible hate crime case. The victim told police that he left the 14th Street Gym, near 1400 West and 200 South, after midnight early Wednesday. As he was waiting for a cab ride, the man said someone walked up behind him, swore at him, used a derogatory sexual-orientation slur and hit him over the top of the head with a bottle, police said. The suspect then ran off. The victim, who police said showed signs of intoxication, did not get a good description of his attacker. The victim suffered cuts to his forehead and was 'bleeding profusely,' police said. He was transported to an area hospital in critical condition."

The Deseret News files the same report, adding: "In April, the Utah Court of Appeals reversed a district court's order revoking the gym's license based on reported lewd acts committed by gym patrons. The court ruled there was no evidence that the gym or its employees knew of or condoned the acts being alleged."

Interesting that the Mormon-owned newspaper tries to tie the potentially anti-gay attack to lewd behavior...

pThe idea of a a href="http://www.myspace.com/theraveonettes" target="_blank"strongRaveonettes/strong/a Christmas tune sounds a bit off, like Darren Aronofsky directing a kids movie. With their emotionally detached harmonies and homemade wall of sound, the Danish duo famously have their minds in the gutter, singing about illicit sex, cheap drugs, and dead lovers over 1950s guitar stomps and 60s-style production. Not exactly merrymaking. But "Come On Santa", from the EP emWishing You a Rave Christmas/em, is neither the Dirty Noel nor a holiday cover of Dexy's Midnight Runners, but actually a sincere plea for a white Christmas. "Come on, Santa," Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo sing over a minor-key bells theme and a little drum machine boy rhythm, "bring me snow on Christmas." Oh wait. I just got that./p pMoving on. There's also a nice little section about the birth of Baby Jesus: "They you give to me the greatest gift of all, your love to me tonight, and then I feel okay." Just got that too. Damn the Raveonettes and their double entendres. Guess it's another back-alley Christmas, but the lights and
