Toronto, Day 2: Late Afternoon of the Locust

Posted by Ty Burr September 6, 2008 02:46 AM

You want to know what a star-studded film festival premiere looks like up close? Here's some video. It's not all that pretty.

Below, Clare Danes signs autographs for vaguely disturbing fans outside the "Me and Orson Welles" screening. Look at that expression: This is a woman punching the clock.

Here's a bank of about 200 young women getting a glimpse of Zac Efron and simultaneously ululating and ovulating.

On a less frivolous note, director Richard Linklater talks about how he got the nerve to make a movie about one of the greatest moviemakers who ever lived.

And, just to put that into context, here's Efron's take on the same subject.

And finally, so you understand the real glamor that is covering an international film festival, here's the cast and crew of "Burn After Reading" as seen from the nosebleed seats.

  1. Mr. Burr,

    Was it really you, reporting on Toronto Day 2?

    To me, this particular piece of writing sounds more like texting. In bad taste.

    Oops! Have to run. Morning sickness, you know. Terrible! Talk about ovulating...

    Ulaletingly,
