As my alarm went off this morning, I was reminded of my favorite bit of irony surrounding TIFF. See, I take vacation time from work to soak up as much of the festival as I can. However, even though I’m on vacation, I’m not exactly drowning in R&R. As it happens, I spend most of the week waking up and leaving Casa del Hatter earlier than I do on a weekday. The things I do for my movie geekery…


While I wasn’t there to witness this bit of awesomeness, the star encounters continued on Sunday. Lady Hatter and her little sis caught the premiere of GRIFF THE INVISIBLE, which stars Ryan Kwanten as a do-it-yourself superhero. When the screening was over, Lady Hatter flexed her paparazzi muscles and got that rather cute pic of her sister with Young Mister Stackhouse.

I suppose it’s safe to say that Saturday night taught me my lesson, since after our Coogan & Brydon encounter, I dutifully packed my camera into my bag. ‘Twas a good move indeed. Along with getting arty and taking the shot at the top of this post, it also came in handy at the premiere of TAMARA DREWE last night. Allowed me to get these snaps of director Stephen Frears and the film’s star Gemma Arteton.


SUPER and 127 HOURS are on tap today…along with a gathering of the Toronto Movie Bloggers to hoist a pint…or two…or three…
