Well Gentle Readers, welcome to entry number three in my wide world of blogging. As we all know, TIFF 2009, will soon descend on our fair city and yours truly is as excited as all get out. As per usual, I will be taking off the entire time, to thoroughly enjoy the full filmic experience. My experience with the festival goes back more than 20 years, back to the halcyon days when it was known as the Festival of Festivals. Over the years, I have had many wonderful experiences at the festival: seeing wonderful, challenging films for starters. I have met celebrities, as well as many interesting journalists, from around the world. I have had the privilege of attending as an 'insider,' as an industry member. I enjoyed all the parties, press screenings and hanging out with my friends in the hospitality suite - I even had a drink named after me(cool). These days, I'm there to see the movies and as always it seems to be a bumper crop: new films from the Coen Bros., Almodovar, Von Trier, Herzog, Haneke et al. I hope to do a daily blog for you my GR's and keep you all apprised of all the films and attendant hoopla. The festival just gets better and better - and bigger and bigger - each year. So on September 10, come with me to the movies, my cinematic cohorts.
T.T.F.N.
