Los Angeles Film Festival nerve center on Westwood Blvd. — Wednesday, 6.18, 5:50 pm. Drove here straight yesterday from Burbank Airport to pick up my press credentials. The LAFF kicks off this evening at the Mann Village with a screening of Universal’s Wanted — an extremely crude porno-violent “entertainment” and therefore something of a curious choice for the launch of a festival that supports cinematic values and aspirations that are not evident in this selection.
