Fall is apparently here. It was brisk on the early walk to the Ryerson but a sunny day. The lineup for "A Good Year" went right around the corner again, but it's a big theatre and if you have a ticket, you do get a seat. Russell Crowe was very good in this comedy, and there were wonderful views of Provence in a movie made from the Mayle novel. I'm not a Crowe fan, but it was a fun movie.
Exiting from this film, I was first in the Rush line for "Paris Je T'aime" which didn't start until 3 p.m. Good thing it was a sunny day, and an advantage that Ryerson has a small cement wall along the street....a place to sit. Only had to wait until 12:30 before a couple of tickets came up, so was able to move to the Ticket holders line. Lots of nice people to talk to in line, and even managed to adopt a French son, Francoise from Montreal....he had been in the rush line, and was looking to be included in the ticket holders line after he finally got his ticket. The movie was 21-5 minute or so films shot in paris by different directors, each with different themes and concepts, but with wonderful views of Paris. One vignette was shot at the corner in Pigalle where we stayed in Paris! The producer, two directors and an actress were on hand for the Q&A, and afterwards director Alexander Payne had his picture taken with me! A fun day.
