Loss of a Teardrop Diamond (never have I ever seen such a mass walkout during a screening - press or civilian - seriously, like 40 people (about half the crowd) walked out of this movie. i stayed, as always, to see if it would/could redeem itself. it could not. sorry chris evans and ron howard's daughter)

Random sightings weren't as plentiful around Toronto as they are in Sundance because Sundance is concentrated to one street, while Toronto is a whole city.

More details - and pictures - coming soon. I know I continue to promise photographs, but I'm still working on laptop and internet access issues.
