TIFF Update

I don’t have time for another review right now so I figured I’d just post a brief update. Things are hectic but definitely fun. My days are spent running from movie to movie with a quick jump into the occasional spot for food or for drinks. The highlight of the movies for me so far was Slumdog Millionaire. The movie blogger meet up was great as I chatted with Shannon the Movie Moxie, Bob, James, Ryan, John, Kurt, Milton, Richard, Greg & Donna, Chris & Polly, Matt, Steven and Christina.

Last night was the Twitch pub night where I chatted with the guys from the Bloor Cinema. I was originally a bit worried about how big TIFF is and how I wouldn’t get to meet and chat with people but I have to say everyone has been great and I’ve met and chatted with a bunch of fine movie lovers.

Its time once again to run off to another movie. Kurt, Michael and I will be posting more reviews as we find the time.

AMC Line Up

Just heads up. The line for the AMC showings is out in front of the building and wraps around in front of Ryerson. It sure looks like all the shows line up together.

TIFF Line Up

I am now in the line for picking up my tickets. It looks like it is going to take just over an hour. Damn, I should have grabbed breakfast. There are a fair amount of people complaining but it seems to me that weare moving at a fair pace.

My Google Calendar for TIFF

Feel free to let me know if you will be at any of the movies that I will be at. I’d love to chat in line.

Lucky Day

It looks like I had a pretty lucky day on the TIFF front. First the draw came in with box #9. We had box 13 so only 4 boxes before ours when you don’t count the rich people who donated. I’m not going to get into the whole donation means you get priority thing, instead I’ll just say that only 4 boxes before ours was a pretty good thing because I just received an email from the TIFF people and I got every movie I selected. I don’t have to worry about having to pick movies again and I’m glad. It was quite a job to pick and line up the 40 that I did. I’m now in count down mode and its 2 more sleeps till I catch my flight to Toronto!

TIFF Map and a Meetup

Check out 1st Thursday for a nice map of the TIFF theatre locations that also includes the subway routes and some suggested restaurants.

Also there is a gathering of movie fans and bloggers on Monday the 8th at 6PM if you are interested in meeting a couple of the Row Three contributors and other cool people then send an email to john@rowthree.com and I’ll set you up with how to find us. Thanks go out to the Movie Moxie for setting it up.
