TIFF is upon us. That means Hollywood stars! Red carpets galore! Parties! And all of its inane glory recorded by a compliant media. Don't mind me, but I'll take a pass. When TIFF dispenses with empty celebrity-dom, swag rooms, photo ops and the rest, and when Toronto avoids a collective municipal swoon because a Movie Star is in the house then I'll shell out for tickets. Until then I'd urge anyone who likes films but not Hollywood product and its glittery trappings to patronize any of the excellent local rental places or to look for other options. I don't know, but there could even be mini screenings going on while TIFF swaggers and preens. Failing that, I suggest you pick up a book or hit the weight room.
