haikugirl's final TIFF selections

Okay people,
After a concall with Pavlina yesterday (and based on her discussion with Alison) the first choice for the group pick is now Stranger Than Fiction on Sat Sept 9 at 6pm at The Elgin. Babel on Sun at 11:30am (Brad looks so sad) will be the second choice for the rest of the group if we don't get our Sat night pick. Ivana and Antonio - I will see you at both Saturday screenings and at Babel on Sunday (we may need to schedule a nap!)

R and I are only going to 3 movies together this year. Besides the group pick on Sat night, we are going to try for Volver Sat morning at 9:30am and Calgarian Gary Burns' Radiant City on Tuesday at 8:45pm.

I think this year's programmers are on Ritalin because the lineup includes a lot of guns and wars (remember 2001???)

Pavlina - I plan to leave work early Thurs Sept 7 to RUSH for The Pervert's Guide to Cinema at the ROM (Wanna come? Remember Le Fantome d'Henri Langlois??) This one sounds like a 2 hour rant by a guy who looks like the streetperson in Huff with musings on cinema from Hitchcock to The Matrix - and directed by Sophie Fiennes, sister of Ralph and Joseph. The perfect way to gear up for the fest - n'est-ce pas?

That concludes this broadcast till we can pick up our picks on Labour Day Monday.

Thanks Pavlina for filling in our orders - we owe you the first martini on Saturday!!!!
