last night. We should probably admit our biases up front, though. First of all, we've never read the books and we've only seen the first movie. Gasp in horror if you must, but we have no plans to change this state of affairs. Second of all, we love musicals. We really love musicals. We especially love when musicals are fashioned from obviously inappropriate source material. In truth, we were secretly hoping for tap dancing orcs (don't worry, there are no tap dancing orcs - damnit!). Finally, we are a sucker for a good wind machine effect. So we may, in fact, be the ideal audience for this spectacle - unconcerned with the purity of the adaptation and just out for a good time.

So… The festival has been on for a full day, and Torontoist has very little to actually report, having stayed in for the night. Well, it did see the star of Short Cuts Canada film ‘Patterns’ (by Jamie Travis) wearing a stylish lime green dress and looking a bit confused, so there is that, if anything. That film is in Programme 5: Genre Redux, if you like the sound of her.

We didn't actually spend the weekend with Crispin Glover (we didn't buy him breakfast or anything), but it got pretty close.
