All Rise...
Judge Gordon Sullivan feels like he's burning. Bad movies do that to him.
Editor's Note
Our review of Mirrors, published January 13th, 2009, is also available.
The Charge
There is evil…on the other side.
Opening Statement
Alexandre Aja made a name for himself in America with his blood-soaked love letter to the slasher, High Tension. After that triumph, he was handpicked by Wes Craven to direct a remake of the classic The Hills have Eyes, which soaked even more blood into the desert of the film's plot. While both of these horror films had their high points (mainly gore and visual style to spare), they were not without their problems (logic and narrative strength chief among them). The fact that his third film Mirrors is a remake of an obscure Korean horror film set in a department story covered in possessed mirrors shouldn't get anyone's hopes up. The story allows for little of the gore that made him famous and relies too much on his seemingly nonexistent skills at creating a logical story. Despite the film's problems, Fox has given fans a fairly decent Blu-ray of the film.
Facts of the Case
Cop Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland, 24) accidentally killed another cop in the line of duty. Unsurprisingly this has lead to heavy drinking, estrangement from his wife and kids, and a suspension of his duties as a police office. However, Ben tries to turn his life around, taking drugs to help with the drinking and accepting a position as night watchman for an abandoned department store that had been gutted by a fire. While making his rounds the first night, Ben hears numerous strange sounds and sees people in the mirrors being eaten away by fire. Then he begins to feel the flames himself, even though he isn't burned. Being a cop, Ben decides to investigate and discovers links between the department store and an old hospital. But little does he know that his investigation will have dire consequences for his family.
The Evidence
I watch a lot of bad movies, and usually it's a painful process. As soon as it becomes obvious that the film is (or is going to be) bad there is usually wailing and gnashing of teeth. However, there are those rare films that can mask how bad they are until the end. It was only during the Army of Darkness-on-crack final battle that I realized how truly bad Mirrors was. The whole mess doesn't make a lick of sense. From the very beginning there are plot holes you could drive a truck through, with little attention to narrative or character logic. For instance, as someone pointed out in the Jury Room, why would anyone, even a cop, go back to the department store a second time? Eventually Ben's family gets involved, but even before that he feels a compelling desire to understand the mystery of the mirrors. I just don't get it: if mirrors make me feel like I'm on fire, then I'm avoiding them.
Speaking of the titular mirrors, there is no attempt at creating any sort of "rules" for how the mirrors operate. Their use in the film seems to relate exclusively to plot convenience. Considering how wide their influence grows, it makes no sense that they'd need Ben to do their bidding. Also, it makes no sense that they kill their initial agent in the film's first scene. Oh wait, it makes perfect sense: it's all about plot convenience.
It doesn't help any that the mirrors are merely a red herring for some pseudo-psychological demon crap. It's never made entirely clear what's possessing the mirrors, or what it wants. What made it possess the mirrors in the first place? I don't know after watching the film, and I suspect that Mr. Aja doesn't have a clue either. All of these ideas coalesce into a knockdown drag-out fight between Ben and the force, and it's just sad. The film's final scene aims for The Twilight Zone, but because the mechanics of the mirrors are never explained, the creep factor is squandered.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
It's not all bad. The acting in the film is generally better than most horror films. Kiefer has the most heavy-lifting to do, and I found him surprisingly likable in the role. He rocks the Jack Bauer growl here and there, but overall he's sympathetic. The rest of the cast don't have much to do, but they bring enough credibility to their roles to make the ridiculous aspects of the plot semi-believable.
Even in this unrated version of the film there isn't much gore. However, what's there is executed pretty well. The film's visual style is all that makes it stand above the many direct-to-video horror films populating video store shelves. Considering the number of reflective surfaces, the film is a technical triumph, and Aja has a knack for always putting the camera in an interesting place.
The Blu-ray disc from Fox succeeds where the film fails. The 2.40:1 AVC-encoded image does a fine job handling the film's many dark scenes fairly well with only the occasional distracting grain/noise. The film has a blue, muted tone to it, and that translates well to home video. I was especially impressed with the film's audio. The clarity was high, and the balance was perfect. Jump-scare cues didn't give me a headache and the ambient effects were balanced perfectly with the dialogue. The extras are fairly extensive for a film that did minimal box office numbers. There's the standard making-of that's almost 50 minutes long and covers the film from its remake origins to the final product. There are also a number of deleted and extended scenes, including an alternate ending and some more footage of Anna. For a film that was already too long, these are hardly essential pieces of the puzzle. There are also a number of storyboard featurettes, one which covers the jaw-ripping scene, and another which is available via BonusView. The other BonusView feature is a picture-in-picture commentary with Aja and crew. They discuss much of the same material as the documentary, but it's a little more informal. For those who still have a burning desire to carry Mirrors around with them, this Blu-ray disc comes with a Digital Copy of the film on the second.
Closing Statement
Mirrors really could have been a great film. Aja has a good eye, Sutherland delivers a decent performance, and mirrors are creepy enough that the film could have offered some old-fashioned frights, if someone had possessed the discipline to cut the whole mess down to 80 or 90 minutes. Instead we get a bloated mishmash of random effects scenes interspersed with a patently illogical story. Mirrors might be worth a watch between seasons of 24 for the hardcore Jack Bauer fans, but otherwise there's nothing to really recommend the film.
The Verdict
Upon further reflection, Mirrors is found guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Mirrors (Blu-Ray) a fair trial? yes / no

By RACHEL JACKSON/THE BAYONETFebruary 18, 2010
Cyclists of all ages are invited to participate in Chasing the Cure, a short track cross-country mountain bike race March 6 at Flat Rock Park in Columbus.
The multi-lap race will include a wide-open single track, tight single track and a flat rock crossing. The race will have 17 classes from beginners to experts. The top three cyclists in each class will receive medals and prizes.
All of the proceeds from the race will benefit Cure, an organization that funds children's cancer clinical research and helps fund families financially who have children diagnosed with cancer.
"This race is for a good cause," said Paul Hein, race founder. "This is a way to help families get financial help when it comes to treatment."
Hein and his wife, Tammy, of Columbus, know firsthand the benefits of Cure.
When their son, Noah, 10, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in February 2008, it was a month later he was in a clinical study that was funded by Cure. By the end of March 2008, Noah went into remission.
"As of August 2009, Noah has reached the half way point of a three-year treatment plan," The Heins wrote on the Chasing the Cure Web site. "He is doing well and we know his remission is due to the research that Cure has been able to support."
One of Noah and Paul's favorite things to do before Noah was diagnosed was mountain bike racing. It seemed fitting to have a mountain bike race to raise money for Cure, Paul said.
The cost of the race is $10 for children 9 and younger, $15 for children ages 10 to 17 and $40 for adults 18 and older.
Participants can preregister by visiting www.chasingthecure.webs.com or they can register the day of the event.
Registration will open at 7 a.m. and closes 30 minutes prior to each race. The races will run from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Helmets are required.
There will be free helmet fittings by Safe Kids Columbus and inflatables for the children. Spectators are welcome.
For more information, go to www.chasingthecure.webs.com, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call Paul at 706-366-6548.

In Marine Park, the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
So far, this seems to be the sentiment regarding a proposed playground at Public School 207, 4011 Fillmore Avenue.
Residents continue to worry that the playground, part of the mayor's PlaNYC initiative, will attract an element more interested in scotch than hopscotch.
"I want the playground—but I don't want the basketball courts, and I don't want kids drinking and peeing on our lawns," a Kimball Street resident told Community Board 18 at its June meeting.
The city's $111 million initiative seeks to open 290 schoolyards in neighborhoods across the city.
The PS 207 project will cost roughly $320,000 and is a joint effort involving the mayor's office, the city's Department of Parks and Recreation and Department of Education, and the Trust for Public Land (TPL), a national conservation organization.
One of the project's goals is to open the new playgrounds to the public—even when school is not in session.
While TPL has promised to include the community in all aspects of the P.S. 207 playground's design, some, including the area's city councilmember, say they were initially not part of the discussion.
"This is a project that comes from the mayor's side without any consultation with the councilman," Councilmember Lew Fidler said. "I wasn't notified."
Susan David, TPL's director of public affairs, said that the councilman's office was e-mailed about the project months ago, when the organization began working with the school.
Meanwhile, Fidler said some of his constituents fear that the playground will continue to invite rowdy behavior. Already, the schoolyard—little more than a large yard—attracts a raucous crowd.
"There is a difference of opinion whether this can be done right," the city lawmaker said.
"In principle, this is a great idea," he continued. "But it has to work for each neighborhood—and each neighborhood is different."
Fidler stressed that the design is not yet "a done deal."
Dorothy Turano, the district manager of the community board, said the design was a long way from being finalized.
Still, she said, "I oppose these things because they always have money for the program, but never [enough] for the maintenance."
Extra money will be earmarked for the school custodian to open and close the renovated playground, according to Dominique Elie, a senior program associate with TPL.
While the hours have not yet been announced, it is expected the playground will open at dawn and be closed at dusk, TPL officials said.
"One of the benefits, in our experience, is that when you convert what is a vacant lot into an actual park that is used by the community, it no longer is just a place behind a builidng where kids hang out," David said.
"That's our hope for this project as well," she added.
David said the amended design will soon be shared with the school, as well as the Marine Park Civic Association. Plans include play equipment, seating a track, and outdoor classroom space. "What we are hoping for is a final seal of approval, but you never know," David said.
Greg Borruso, the president of the Marine Park Civic Association, said the hope is to make the new playground work for the neighborhood.
After all, it's all residents can do at this point. "We were told we were getting a playground. We weren't told we have a choice," he said.
"We want to make sure that playground fits with the character of the neighborhood," he continued.
The original plan called for four permanent basketball hoops, but it has now been amended to include just two hoops that will be dismantled when school is not in session.
Borruso said TPL officials promised to get back to him at the end of June with new sketches, presumably incorporating some of the civic association's concerns. The new design will be shared with local residents, he added.
"I think people are skeptical now, because of the concerns of kids hanging out, but I think people will realize that this will be an asset," Borruso added.

The dominant view in academic and policy arenas is increasingly one in which the major contribution of capture fisheries to development should be derived from the capacity of society to maximise the economic rent of fishery resources. Drawing upon empirical experience from the South, this article highlights the potentially disastrous consequences that a universal implementation of the rent-maximisation model would have in developing countries, and argues that a more gradual approach would be preferable. The welfare function of small-scale fisheries, namely, their capacities to provide labour and cash income to resource-poor households, should be preserved until the appropriate macroeconomic conditions for rent-maximisation and redistribution are fulfilled.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
In this article
Epiglottitis Causes
Causes of epiglottitis include bacteria, viruses, and fungi, especially among adults.
- Various organisms that can cause epiglottitis include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, varicella-zoster, herpes simplex virus type 1, and Staphylococcus aureus, and others.
- Other types of epiglottitis are caused by heat damage. Thermal epiglottitis occurs from drinking hot liquids; eating very hot solid foods; or using illicit drugs (i.e., inhaling the tips of marijuana cigarettes or metal pieces from crack cocaine pipes). In these cases, the epiglottitis from thermal injury is similar to the illness caused by infection.
- Unusual causes of epiglottitis include brown recluse spider bites to the ear, which may result in swelling, or eating buffalo fish, which may cause an allergic-like reaction and swelling. Blunt trauma or something blocking the throat may also lead to epiglottitis.
Epiglottitis Symptoms
When epiglottitis strikes, it usually occurs quickly, from just a few hours to a few days. The most common symptoms include sore throat, muffling or changes in the voice, difficulty speaking, fever, difficulty swallowing, fast heart rate, and difficulties in breathing.
Fever is usually high in children but may be lower in adults or in cases of thermal epiglottitis.
- Signs of respiratory distress, or trouble breathing, are seen with epiglottitis. Signs include drooling, leaning forward to breathe, taking rapid shallow breaths, "pulling in" of muscles in the neck or between the ribs with breathing, a high-pitched whistling sound when breathing, and trouble speaking. Someone with acute epiglottitis usually looks very ill.
- Children may sit in a "sniffing position" with the body leaning forward and the head and nose tilted forward and upward.
- People with epiglottitis may appear restless and breathing with their neck, chest wall, and upper belly muscles. While they may be taking in less air with each breath, they may still manifest the high-pitched whistling sound, called inspiratory stridor.
- Typically, a child who comes to the hospital with epiglottitis has a history of fever, difficulty talking, irritability, and problems swallowing for several hours. The child often sits forward and drools. In infants younger than 1 year of age, signs and symptoms such as fever, drooling, and upright posturing may all be absent. The infant may have a cough and a history of an upper respiratory infection. So, it is very difficult to know if an infant has epiglottitis.
- In contrast, adolescents and adults have more recognizable symptoms, with the main complaints being sore throat, fever, difficulty breathing, drooling, and stridor (noise with breathing).
- Doctors have characterized adult epiglottitis into 3 categories:
- Category 1: Severe respiratory distress with imminent or actual respiratory arrest. People typically report a brief history with a rapid illness that quickly becomes dangerous. Blood cultures, which are tests that check for bacteria in the blood, are often positive for Hib.
- Category 2: Moderate-to-severe clinical symptoms and signs of considerable risk for potential airway blockage. Symptoms and signs usually include sore throat, inability to swallow, difficulty in lying flat, muffled "hot potato" voice (speaking as if they have a mouthful of hot potato), stridor, and the use of accessory respiratory muscles with breathing.
- Category 3: Mild-to-moderate illness without signs of potential airway blockage. These people often have a history of illness that has been occurring for days with complaints of sore throat and pain upon swallowing.
- Category 1: Severe respiratory distress with imminent or actual respiratory arrest. People typically report a brief history with a rapid illness that quickly becomes dangerous. Blood cultures, which are tests that check for bacteria in the blood, are often positive for Hib.

Kim Kardashian grasped her new husband Kanye West's camel coat tightly as the pair took a walk through the streets of Prague on Friday.
The newlyweds, who arrived in the capital of the Czech Republic the day before, are on destination two of their low-key European honeymoon, which began with a few days in Ireland, where they went mountain-biking and took in a couple of movies.
The couple, who married in an over-the-top celebration in Florence, Italy, on Saturday, will reportedly be celebrating their one-week anniversary by attending the wedding of the rapper's stylist Renelou Padora this weekend.
West, 36, has been to Prague before. He shot his video for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" there in 2005 and returned five years later for another music video, "No Church in the Wild" with Jay-Z.

Patricia Chew handled my husband's immigration case. She said his case was no problem and she knew exactly what to do. We paid her and she filed the papers for him. 18 months later all the immigration applications she filed for him were denied. She said that immigration agents in Chicago (which is where we filed) just didn't know what they were doing and she said her attorney friend Donald Kempster in Chicago would take over our case. She sent my husbands file to Attorney Kempster. We met with Attorney Kempster and he said that he couldn't believe Chew had done this and that there was no other outcome other than my husband would be deported. Patricia Chew wouldn't accept my calls after that. My husband was picked up by agents a few months later and deported. I never got any money back from Patricia Chew. And guess what... now she's a JUDGE in El Paso TX.
Posted by a Immigration client
Excellent attorney. Very knowledgeable in the law and obtained my visa in a timely manner and within the projected timelines for immigration and the consulate.
Posted by a Health Care client
My case was an application for an H1B visa (temporary work and residence). In our first meeting, Ms. Chew seemed very self-confident and assured everything would be very easy and fast. She was paid for the whole process in advance. Seven months later I still did not have my visa. She did nothing about it for three months and when she finally did it, my application was full of mistakes. Because of those mistakes, I had to leave the country twice and I still can not work. Finally we changed to a new lawyer.

A form within another form, often in the ruby-on-rails environment.
This is a Rails gem for conveniently manage multiple nested models in a single form. It does so in an unobtrusive way through jQuery or Prototype.
This gem only works with Rails 3.
Nested forms are when a form is placed within another form, often in the ruby-on-rails environment.
As of HTML 5, the
form element can't be nested. Check section 4.10.18, "Association of controls and forms" for more information.
The yii platform can also handle nested forms, like the example below:
<div class="form">
<?php $this->renderPartial('_form', array('form'=>$form)); ?>
<?php echo $form['user']; ?>
<?php echo $form['profile']; ?>
<?php echo $form['subformbuttons']; ?>
Check the forms section for general questions and details about forms.

Original Message
I will be posting the signals I see on ELF here. I will post with intensity of each signal seen on the ELF range. I will post intensity using the Seismic scale from 1 to 10 Magnitudes. Be aware that once the signal comes in on ELF it can take from 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes for the quake to be seen on USGS sites. These signals come in on ELF about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before they actually impact what ever region their epicenters are. Then it takes USGS sites about 30 minutes to display.
The signals I pay attention to are in the 1 Hz to 10 Hz frequencies. Those are almost always Seismic.
I will be doing this when I am in front of my computer, not all the time so be aware that I will not be able to catch them all.
These ELF signals give approximately a 2 hour window to work and figure out epicenter. That is another task I will take on in the future. It is the hardest part of Earthquake prediction.
This is an addition I added to a thread about Elenin;
Be weary next 3 hours, have plan prepared for some possible shaking. Getting some unusual readings on ELF. Not sure if it will impact Japan region but better to be safe than sorry. Keep your mind focused and aware that Japan might be getting some seismic activity headed that way. This one might be 5+ if I am not mistaken. No panic just keep your senses on alert status.
The unusual activity I heard were 18 very intense thumps. In the 1Hz to 10Hz frequency. Could be seismic.
Then these quakes occurred;

Burned Houma restaurant mourned
Published: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at 12:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at 12:06 p.m.
HOUMA — The charred bricks piled on West Main Street tell nothing of the memories the building once held: familiar faces and chicken fingers at the Lunch Basket, gracious bartenders and games of pool at Good Times.
Photo Galleries
Soaked rubble was all that remained Monday afternoon of the Picone building that housed both businesses. A fire that broke out early that morning collapsed the roof and burned so intensely firefighters feared the walls would cave.
The Houma Fire Department called in an excavator to knock down the building rather than risk it collapsing onto Main Street. The two cherished businesses were suddenly displaced by burned debris.
"It's hard to believe," said Jamie Blanchard, a Your Cleaners employee. She ate at the Lunch Basket almost daily because it was close to her Barrow Street shop. "One day it's here, and the next it's gone."
Firefighters responded to the fire just before 5 a.m. Houma Fire Inspector Mike Millet said the cause is undetermined but the concentration of damage near the Lunch Basket's kitchen makes him suspect an electrical panel there may have contributed.
Foul play is not suspected.
"Unfortunately, when it's a fire like this, there is so much damage that the proof is gone," he said.
Brian Mula, owner of Good Times, got a call about the fire that morning and saw a smoke plume rising from downtown as he headed over the twin spans toward the bar.
He watched as flames consumed the roof.
"It's kind of a helpless feeling, watching something you worked so hard to make go up in flames and knowing there's nothing you can do about it," he said.
Mula bought Good Times four years ago. The business had changed hands several times and, as the latest owner, he wanted to cultivate a laid-back atmosphere, he said. Customer Jonathan Menard, 25, of Houma, said the clientele was so diverse everyone felt at home.
"It was completely eclectic," he said.
Mula wants to reopen, but said it will be difficult to find a better location than downtown.
"We had a good run while it lasted," he said. "It was cut short. I'm going to do anything I can to bring it around and start again."
Lunch Basket owner Bob Dungan stayed on the scene as firefighters tore down the building. His restaurant opened nearly 30 years ago and became a routine stop for downtown workers. He plans to continue, though he doesn't know when and where.
"Once it all settles out, we'll probably find a place and reopen," he said.
Dungan's restaurant career began washing dishes while he was in junior high and continued through adulthood, when he became general manager of the now-defunct Burger Chef restaurant chain. He used his 21 years of experience and connections to start his own business.
Building a loyal customer base took time.
"When we opened up, we had nothing," he said, adding he was humbled by the reputation his place gained. "I just like people and I enjoy what I did. And it comes through."
Wendy Chauvin, a longtime deputy clerk at the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse, said the dining room was packed at lunch with regulars: lawyers, doctors, jurors, government employees. She avoided the rubble and went home for lunch Monday.
Seeing the torn-down building might have brought tears.
"Just knowing them personally, it hurts me," she said. "I'm upset they lost their business, their livelihood. I'm hoping they rebuild."
District Judge David Arceneaux began the juror lunch program, which gives jurors a voucher to use at a restaurant while they're hearing a case, when he was elected about a decade ago, he said. Preparing to seat a jury this week, the judge said he will be forced to find an alternative to the Lunch Basket, a go-to spot for his jurors.
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do," he said. "I'm going to miss it. Bob is a great personality."
Dungan was leaving to open the restaurant for breakfast and arrived to find the building on fire, he said. He stayed on scene until it was demolished.
His restaurant's reach went beyond downtown. He made lunches for students at St. Matthew's Episcopal School on Barrow Street and the Louis Infant Crisis Center on Bayou Black Drive, he said. He received a flood of condolences from loyal customers Monday.
"I'm going to miss them," he said.

text: 3. China Southern Airlines ( ZNH) a provider of airline services, operates its businesses through the transport of passengers, freight and mail. It supports domestic airline companies in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, as well as international airlines. The stock leaped 13.1% last week. Both the analysts covering the stock rate it a hold. A Bloomberg consensus expects the stock to gain an average 32.1% to $41.7 in the upcoming 12 months. Last week, a company official said that ZNH would operate its new Airbus A380s on the Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Shanghai Hongqiao routes with daily services, driven by higher domestic demand on both routes. Meanwhile, the airline's first international A380 service would fly on the Guangzhou-Paris route with the likelihood of operating the aircraft on services to the U.S. The airline is seeking to increase the frequency on all three A380 services by end-2011. Last week, China announced that it would invest over $232 billion in the aviation industry in the upcoming five years, thereby fostering consolidation among airline companies to hone their international competitiveness. Also, an industry regulator said that China would add more than 45 airports over the next five years, bringing the total to more than 220. Prev 3 of 6 Next

Toronto Film Fest's Makeover Keeps Griping Fans Returning
Movie fans might shell out $20 and wait in line at a film festival to indulge their love of the big screen. Those willing to spend $1 million in Toronto get something altogether different.
Romuald Goure did just that in 2012 for a 1,250-square foot apartment in the Festival Tower, the 44-story glass-clad skyscraper that sits atop the Bell Lightbox, home to the annual Toronto International Film Festival that begins today. Goure, who emigrated from France seven years ago, said he loves the cultural buzz that comes from the building, which has two restaurants, a bar, five cinemas and a film-dedicated bookshop.
"The festival tower is TIFF all year long," Goure, 37, said, sitting in the residents' private bar in the tower, a joint venture between local developer Daniels Corp. and the filmmaking Reitman family who donated the land. Ivan Reitman produced "Animal House" and directed "Ghostbusters," and his son Jason directed the Oscar-winning film "Juno."
Since moving into its sleek new building in 2010, TIFF's prominence in the film festival circuit has swelled with renewed vigor. Attendance, the number of films shown, distribution deals inked and Hollywood stars attending have soared while a permanent home has delivered an economic jolt to the city. Some film buffs say the festival has lost a bit of its soul in the process.
"The move to the Lightbox was really the next step for the film festival," said Matti Siemiatycki, associate professor of geography and planning at the University of Toronto. "It's served as a spark plug for development."
Fan Festival
While Cannes, which is closed to the public, is all about red-carpet glamor and Sundance is focused on independent films, TIFF has always been known as the fan festival. The festival unofficially kicked off last night with a charity soiree in honor of Al Pacino, who trod the red carpet with Argentine girlfriend Lucila Sola. Pacino stars in ``The Humbling,'' an adaption of the 2009 novel by Philip Roth that is being screened at TIFF.
Attendance in Toronto grew about 18 percent to more than 432,000 last year from 2010 while its army of volunteers expanded 32 percent to take in the organization's slate of exhibitions, lectures and workshops.
Sharing ticket packages for as many as 100 films, hard-core movie buffs take time off work and plan their movie pilgrimages with military precision, seeing dozens of films over the course of the 11-day festival.
Cannes, Berlin
Matthew Price has been among the faithful. The 43-year-old has been taking all 10 festival days off work for 23 years, so he can binge-watch about five screenings a day.
"There's lots of people that do 50 films, more than you would think," Price said over a lunch of green-bean Caesar salad and mushroom soup in the sun-soaked patio of one the Lightbox's restaurants. "Most of my friends are people I met at the festival, or they're friends of those people. My whole life would be not quite the same."
The huge fan base, Toronto's ethnic diversity and the broad number of films provide industry executives with a unique indication of how movies will play in the run up to the Academy Awards. Thanks in part to savvy local superfans like Goure and Price, three of the past six winners of TIFF's People's Choice Award went on to win an Oscar for best picture: "12 Years a Slave" (2013), "The King's Speech" (2010), and "Slumdog Millionaire" (2008).
Keira Knightley
Film buyers and producers have a "major interest in seeing the films with the public," Justin Cutler, the director of TIFF's Industry Office, said in an interview. "The mix between the public and the industry audience is crucial. That's actually what makes us unique in relation to Cannes or Berlin."
TIFF will show 393 feature and short films this year, including "Wild" starring Reese Witherspoon, about a former drug addict trying to change her life with a 1,000-mile hike; "St. Vincent," about a less-than-savory retiree (Bill Murray) who becomes a positive role model for a 12-year-old neighbor; and "A Little Chaos," starring Kate Winslet, about the landscape designer commissioned to create a garden for King Louis XIV's Versailles.
The festival opens with "The Judge," directed by David Dobkin and starring Robert Downey Jr. as a big-city lawyer who returns to his hometown where he ends up defending his estranged father (Robert Duvall), the town judge, who is accused of murder.
In total, about 200 actors are slated to attend, including Witherspoon, Ryan Reynolds and Keira Knightley.
The move to the Lightbox helped the festival generate about C$189 million ($174 million) for the city's economy in the year through March 2013, according to a recent study. That's up about 17 percent since 2008-09, the last time the economic impact was measured.
Too Corporate
And its ambitions keep growing. For the first time, the festival is offering a C$1,500 Buzz List ticket package, with priority access to premium screenings in an effort to capture more well-heeled movie-goers.
It's all a bit too much for some old-school superfans.
"This is probably the first year that I'm seriously considering not going," said Al Zabas, a copy editor at the Toronto-based National Post, who has gone to the festival every year since 1984.
The lineup for tickets, if you can even get them for your chosen films, are getting longer and the tone of the festival has become too corporate and too little focused on the film-goer, Zabas said. "Before you even see the film, you've got an ad for L'Oreal and something else."
Red Carpet
Sticker shock at rising ticket prices -- the cost of a bundle of 100 tickets rose about 30 percent to C$1,808 from last year -- prompted Price initially to plan only a 40-film outing until he managed to secure a discount on 10 tickets from a friend. He's back up to the full complement for this year's holiday.
The festival has tried to balance the two poles of commerce and art throughout its history, Piers Handling, TIFF's director and chief executive officer, said by phone. It's added activities like a "Bill Murray Day" with free screenings of his films. Streets around the festival will also be closed for four days for a pedestrian promenade featuring pop-up performances, food trucks, music and art installations.
"Some people don't give a damn about the red carpets," Handling said.
There may come a time when it becomes too expensive for Price to take in as many films as he does now, but for the moment he's persevering.
"Why do I keep coming back?" Price said. "Because every once in a while you just see something that changes you."
French Classics
Goure, head of the Canadian unit of Fronius International Gmbh, an Austrian maker of solar-energy equipment, caught nine movies over the course of the event last year and aims to see at least that many this year.
The movie fanatic has bumped into Ivan Reitman, who has an apartment at the Lightbox, and living in the tower creates other serendipitous encounters. On his way home from work during the 2012 festival, Goure ran into star couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling leaving the premiere of "The Place Beyond the Pines" through the theater's back door.
More than star wattage, however, it's access to film and film culture that Goure says he loves. He organizes regular screenings in the residents' private cinema of French classics and finds TIFF is a great way to meet new French directors.
"It's paradise," he said.
