This is not an official TIFF site. If it was I would not have to wait in so many lineups with my festival knapsack full of water, snacks, sunscreen and other supplies.

    As a TIFF first-timer, I found the whole experience of picking up the booklet, ‘dropping’ off the selection and picking up the tickets (if you’re lucky) is extremely ridiculous. The article above summarizes exactly how many of us feel who stood in line for hours in the scorching heat. The greatest irony that I found was there were two line-ups, one for the advance order drop-off which stretch from King to Front St,and the other for purchase line which is completely empty. Go figure!

    This is such bullshit. I grew up with the London Film Festival in the 90s that was a huge 3-week festival and back in 1998, I was able to buy tickets online, print them off a dispenser/ printer and attend my movie. I’ve boycotted TIFF since I arrived in Toronto in 2003 because of this bullshit hype and fake buzz they try to create. It’s immensely disrespectful to the audience. Except, this year, my favourite Indian actor Aamir Khan will probably be here and I’m trying to get tickets to his film Dhobi Ghat Premium Screening. &#^^@#$%$
