Rain and stars





Saturday...started with sprinkles and continued with rain. Went to the Ryerson Theatre in hopes of getting a Rush ticket for Volver, with Penelope Cruz, but after an hour in the rain, they had filled the theatre. There were over 120 people patiently waiting, hoping to get in, and they let in about 20. Oh well.
After some window shopping and a Tim's coffee, I got to be 2nd in the ticket holders line, so had no problems with seat selection! Chatted with Americans who were having a fine time being at the Festival.
Penelope, the film for which I had a ticket was charming. Christina Ricci had the lead role in this fable. Members of the cast, and the director were there for the Q&A, and got a standing ovation.
Red Carpet was abuzz on the way out, so waited and saw Yoko Ono and Michael Moore.
That was my film day.
For Sunday I have one ticket for "A Good Year" with Russel Crowe, and will try to get a rush ticket for "Paris, je t'aime".
