NOW SEE THIS: What is the independent movie spirit?

Apparently, it's "Something that reminds smart people they are better than dumb people."

I also enjoy "a good excuse to grow a mustache."

Really, it's all for the 25th Independent Spirit Awards, which airs this Friday on IFC at 11 p.m. EST (thanks a lot, California).

(Oh hey, is that Viola Davis, Philly's faux mayor in Law Abiding Citizen? Oh hey, is this an awesome excuse to link to Meal Ticket's post about LAC's discussion of Del Frisco's? Yes. Yes, it is.)

Like we told you when the noms came out, Philly has a big stake in them this year with nods for Precious' Lee Daniels, (500) Days of Summer writer Scott Neustadter, Maria Bello, Big Fan and, most importantly Tom Quinn's Mummers' flick Near Year Parade, which Mark Mauer told you about upon its release. It's up for the John Cassavettes Award given to a feature made for under $500,000. Give another big "Hell Yeah!" for Quinn, why dontcha?
