Today I began the annual bittersweet ritual of lining up for the Toronto International Film Festival. Today it was picking up the program book. Thursday morning, it’s lining up to drop off my film picks. Monday morning is lining up to pick up tickets and see how many of my picks I got, then lining up again to pick alternates. Then during the actual festival, it’s lining up at every film to get in. Lots of interesting conversations are overheard in line. Stay tuned…

This is the trailer for Richard Linklater’s new film, Waking Life. I’m hoping to see it at the Toronto International Film Festival this year.
Stop the insanity! Warner Bros. has changed its mind and is now threatening to release the DVD for Willy Wonka (the classic film starring Gene Wilder based on Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) in a full-screen only (ie. “pan and scan”) version as opposed to the original widescreen aspect ratio. Hurry now and join almost 5,000 others in signing this petition to get Warner to reconsider.
