/* They're here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! */ - TIFF07 starts now

cue music Stars - The Night Starts Here

Update !

We are going to see The Brave One tonight - finally ! It took some perseverance and some nice people

and a couple more switches have elicited LUST, CAUTION !!! on Sept 9 at 9:15 a.m.

Due to the fact we just don't think we can make it from Scotiabank to Cumberland in half an hour or less after The Man From London, we are opting for a later film Help Me Eros instead of September- and switching The Visitor to 9:15 p.m. on Friday Sept 7, and throwing in a backup Married Life at 9:15 a.m. on Friday Sept 14.


But if you think getting to Cumberland from Scotiabank in 15 minutes is realistic by TTC [ i.e. running to the Osgoode subway presuming you don't get a streetcar, going up north from Osgoode to St George - making the switch and heading east to Bay - then running to the Cumberland just in time for the lineup in ] ...

----


And we're back !

So this is the moment we all live for and the anticipation is already generating pitterpats without even having seen a star or a movie yet - just lineups and more lineups [ we do not talk about rule 12 ].

Today : still trying to get a ticket for tonight - it's not been fun so far. Four visits to the TIFF ticket lines have garnered almost nothing that has approached a solution to our resolution of the various scheduling conflicts.

So this is what we would like and what we have to offer in trade:

Looking for:

  • King of California - looking for King of California Tuesday Sept 11 @ 7 p.m.
    [ will offer King of California Thursday Sept 13 @ 2:15 p.m. and All Hat Tues Sept 11 @ 6 p.m. ]

  • Lars and the Real Girl - looking for Lars and the Real Girl Monday Sept 10 @ 9:15 p.m.
    [ will offer Lars and the Real Girl Thursday Sept 13 @ 2:30 p.m. and Normal on Monday Sept 10 @ 9 p.m. ]

  • Control - looking for Control Friday Sept 7 @ 9:45 p.m.
    [ will offer Control on Saturday Sept 8 @ 9:00 a.m. ]

  • The Orphanage - looking for Friday Sept 7 @ 9:45 p.m.
    [ will offer September on Friday Sept 7 @ 8:45 p.m. ]

  • The Assassination of Jesse James ... - looking for Saturday Sept 8 at 9:15 p.m.
    [ will offer The Assassination of Jesse James - Monday Sept 10 @11:15 a.m.

Will also throw in The Passage @ 11 p.m. on Sunday Sept 9 for any of the above. [ Throw ins dependent upon availability and any subsequent trades].



/... more to come of course

P.S. Have fun!

Tip re: TTC Cumberland to Scotia - this might be too late for the film you were mentioning but it's good info all around.

Best bet is to go from Cumberland to Museum Station (instead of St George). From the theatre head W to Avenue, then go S along Avenue across Bloor and keep going S to Museum Station. It's 2 1/2 blocks from Cumberland to that subway station.

Then you are only 3 stops away from Osgoode and don't need to transfer subway lines.

I always walk from Osgood from Scotiabank, it's only about 4 short blocks.

You could *probably* make it in 30 min but you'd really have to walk fast and cross your fingers for a nicely timed subway.

I meant to put this on my blog as a tip so you might see it again there!
