Celebrity Sightings: Colin Firth, Catherine Keener, director Michael Winterbottom
Buzz in line: that Colin Firth sure is charming!; met a couple who had already seen 15+ movies...ah what it is to be retired/on vacation during TIFF
Thoughts: 5 movies in and another 10 to go, the bagged lunches and take-out are already proving tiresome; I just don't have many movies that are starting on time which is bad news when you h ave back-to-back screenings

Day 3 Round-up
Films seen: 3
Celebrity Sightings: Adrien Brody, Sandra Oh, Don McKellar, Julianne Moore, mark Ruffalo, dnny Glover, Gael garcia Bernal, Dominic Monaghan, Evangeline Lily, and Fernando Meirelles. Also secondary cast memebers of Blindness, director of Blind Sunflowers Jose Luis Cuerda, and director of $5 a Day Nigel Cole. And Ben Mulroney. if you count him as a celebrity.
Buzz in Line: How unorganized can TIFF08 be? It just keepes getting worse;
Thoughts: I have now had 3 out of 4 movies begin more than five minutes late. One of which- a regular Scotiabank screening was almost 20 minutes late, meaning I only had enough time to watch 50 minutes of $5 a Day before runing to Blindness. Blindness was almost 40 minutes late, but that's to be expected for screenings at teh Elgin. there's no reason for a movie without long cast intorductions to be so late.
I'm so far behind in any movie reviews, but they'll come...

Day2 Round-up
Films seen: 1
Stars seen: zero...except for the director of Wendy and Lucy Kelly Reichardt
Buzz in line: JCVD didn't live up to expectations; the AMC process for rush lines and ticket holders is bizarre
Thoughts: lots of people leaving as soon as the credits started rolling for Wendy and Lucy instead of sticking around for the Q&A with the director is usually a sign your movie wasn't that good...and it wasn't (review to come later).
