The Time Being
So as you can see, the bolded movies count is at 16, so if I see just those films, that is perfectly fine, but I may not be able to see some of these films due to scheduling conflicts, and that's where the other odd 40 films come into play. That's how I roll at tiff. My friend Glenn and I will kick-off TIFF 2012 with cocktails at the Ritz in the late afternoon of Thursday, Sept 6th and I'm sure we'll see a film together that Thursday evening. I'm going to try to see Seven Psychopaths on the midnight of its showing just to experience a midnight screening. I'm going to cut back on some Galas as the saga of dealing with Roy Thomson Hall has not been as fun as in the past, but we'll see. Their 'Entertainment Tonight' red-carpet type set up is obnoxious and it breeds the development of what I refer to as 'no life having red-carpet camp out' people. They tend to be people who either don't have the money to buy a ticket or the interest in seeing the film that will play at RTH. They are just there for the red-carpet event, to star gaze, get autographs and pictures. They park themselves along the red-carpet barricades, all.day.long. That's all they do. Whatever, I'm glad I have a life.
wow, I feel a bit jealous! I can't wait to see The Iceman. I'm an admirer of M. Shannon's work.
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested in The Iceman because i saw a documentary on the real guy many years ago. He was a cold sociopath, and lived up to his name. He had no soul, just a wicked man who did the dirty work for mob guys. I can't wait to see this movie esp because of Michael Shannon. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell I'm jealous. 'Cloud Atlas' was at the top of my list until I learned that Paul Thomas-Anderson directed 'The Master'! After seeing what he did with 'There Will Be Blood', I am a huge fan. Of course it doesn't hurt that TWBB starred Daniel Day-Lewis who could read the phone book and make it an Ocar worthy reading. ;) I hope your choices don't disappoint.
