First shift at the Ryerson, my favourite festival theatre. I was fortunate enough to have missed the red carpet madness of Megan Fox and the rest of the cast of "Friends with Kids". Most of the crazies were probably camped out at Roy Thomson Hall for the double whammy of "Moneyball" (Brad) and "The Ides of March" (George AND Ryan, this year's prom king of the festival).
The red carpet for "The Hunter" was sort of hilarious. Sam Neill and Willem Dafoe showed up, and they must have the quietest fans in the world. Sure, there was some bunching on the sidewalk as Sam Neill got out of the car, and I even saw some mild elbowing and jostling, but there wasn't a single sound. No hysterical screaming, no shouts of "SAM!" or "WILLEM!" Just people thrusting papers and pens at them and a few flashbulbs here and there. It was almost like watching a silent film. Hooray for civility!
There wasn't much of a red carpet for the Midnight Madness film, "God Bless America". I had heard that Bobcat Goldthwait might be there, but I didn't see him. Wow, talk about "Whatever Happened to...?"
