I am so jealous of y'all who get to go to see the Towering Talent! Take copious notes, okay? And maybe, Mllemass, you'll get to touch his hand again! Don't wash, scrape off that DNA, bring it back to our labs and we can *finally* get moving on the BC cloning project. It's all up to you now... Ha! That's a lot of pressure! I'm not really the type of person who gets that lucky twice. However, after what happened the last time, I've told myself that if I ever got the opportunity again, I would not just stand there like a statue! So I will make sure to prepare something semi-intelligent to say to him. . . just in case!

All you have to do is blurt out "I LOVE YOU!" And then burst into tears and faint dramatically. He'll certainly remember you after that. 😜

I was kicking myself afterwards because I could have said absolutely anything to him and no one else would have heard me, no matter how ridiculous I sounded.

What a fabulous tweet from TIFF!

"Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon makes an impressive leap in scale here from his much-admired independent film, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. It's worth noting, though, that he apprenticed on films by Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann, and Alejandro González Iñárritu. The fleet, eye-catching style he deploys here shows a sizzle and visual imagination that shouldn't be surprising. His skill, combined with the towering talent of Cumberbatch and Shannon, lends both heat and light to this sweeping epic."
That's a really great comment! And if that's from someone who's genuinely seen it, then it bodes far better for the film than anything suggested by what little feedback there was from the earlier screenings. And there's to be another screening now too, this Friday? It will be interesting to see what feedback there is from that too.
And re BC at TIFF, I would imagine that if BC is going to be there for the premiere, then I would imagine he'll stick around for the special screenings later. One presumes that Oscar voters will be being encouraged to attend, and it is exactly at such opportunities that potential nominees will be supposed to personally turn on the charm to effectively start "campaigning". It would still be very early in the process yet, but those who are so inclined will be attending every such screening (lots of them), from now onward, to try to win over the few voters there will be likely to be at each. If there is any chance of a nomination for BC, Weinstein will certainly be wanting him to stick around.
And I know this is being a bit of a wet blanket, and I know that such as the DNA collecting comments aren't serious and that I suppose they're supposed to be humorous, but in truth they're still coming across to me as rather more creepy than funny. Sorry. Just sayin'....

Sorry, Dreams, if I'm creeping you out. Yes, they're supposed to be over the top, wacky fangirl funny. Maybe I should work on my delivery? 😉😉😉

I don't trust in them when they are positive and the negative are nerve wracking! I would prefer to wait for actual reviews but it's impossible with award baity movies....and with superheroes films. Fans of both seem to have the same kind of mentality! The paragraph was written by Cameron Bailey from TIFF so they will never be negative no matter what but I'm sure he describes what he sees as the strongest aspects of the movies. I personally was waiting for a strong and posible daring visual filmmaking based in the director past work on TV, the photography of Chung Chung-hoon and that Tom Holland said he was amazed with the original way Gomez-Rejón shot some scenes. I hope the movie it's good not for BC (who is now a familiar name and has a few of very interesting projects in the near future) but for Gomez-Rejón. He is a talented young director who deserved to break into the major leagues.

This is recent? Isn't the movie ready yet? In two weeks it premieres at TIFF.

I agree. I'm expecting a bunch of haters from AwardsWatch and people like that, grumbling about BC being in another biopic. They seem to think he is "the same in everything." I can't fathom it.
