It is a special thing to line up all night for a ticket to see a movie at the Toronto International Film Festival. Special, and in a way, quite unnecessary if all you want to do is see the movie. It’s not like those people who used to line up to get a free turkey at Honest Ed’s. They probably needed the turkey more than the average TIFF-goer needs the movie. And critically, if you didn’t line up for the turkey, that free bird was gone forever. Gone. The movie, we hardly need to tell you, will be with us for as long as there are theatres and Netflix and, well, you get it.
