Toronto Film Festival Bound!

Well, Kathryn and I are making final preparations for our flight to Toronto and subsequent stay at the Toronto Film Festival next week (starting tomorrow). As a result, things will be awfully quiet around here for about a week. If you need a fix, hope you will dig deep into the blog archives for cult TV, retro-toy, comic-book and other nostalgia/pop-culture flashbacks.

When we're back, hopefully I'll have lots of photos to share and stuff to talk about from the Festival. I'm big-time bummed that screenings of Romance and Cigarettes (with Christopher Walken!), Brokeback Mountain and Atom Egoyan's Where The Truth Lies are already sold out, but I hope we'll get the chance to see something maybe with less buzz, but of equal quality. I passed on seeing The Corpse Bride - why pay top dollar for tickets to that when I can see it here in the U.S. in the next few weeks?

Anyway, our itinerary includes the taping for TVOntario's "Saturday Night at the Movies" on Tuesday, and I'm really looking forward to being a part of this long-lived and highly successful series.

So, until next week, adieu...
