one thing all these TIFF sales in the crapper stories are neglecting. This year was a poor line-up, marketing wise. Last year was so much Moviesnob Sep 21, 09:28

they're hoping to get Reader type mileage out of it {nm} Moviesnob Sep 21, 11:03

Hm... don't see it happening. It just doesn't have the same resonance. {nm} secretstalker Sep 21, 13:02
