The island of Maui completed its big self-fellating celebration as “the celebrity isle” with the closing of the Maui Film Festival this past weekend.
One need only take a few choice notes from local coverage when seeking the meaningless of it all.
The Wilson brothers attended because “The Wendell Baker Story” was being screened at the outdoor Celestial Cinema. Their Shooting Star Award honored “their ever-entertaining collective body of work and their inspired co-creation of the ‘Wendell’ film.”
Andrew [Wilson's] inclusion was a stretch at best, but to get Luke and Owen, the festival had to include him in the tribute package.
Jake Gyllenhaal won the Shining Star Award as an actor “whose magnetic presence on screen generates both heat and light.”
Rumored sightings of Gyllenhaal sucking on Owen Wilson’s nose during the weekend remain unconfimed.
