This evening the TIFF will have a free screening of the People’s Choice winner of the festival. It goes down at nine o’clock tonight at the Elgin Theatre but the film in question has not been announced yet – they let us know this afternoon at an unspecified time. If you want a ticket, they are only available on a first-come first-served basis at seven o’clock tonight at the theatre. One ticket per person – so your sweetheart will have to wait in line with you. No doubt if you get a ticket you’ll have to then wait in line for two more hours to get a seat as well. No doubt the movie will be a good one but is it worth spending the whole afternoon waiting in line? Tickets are free and doled out democratically so that is the price you pay. You’ll be in good company though – last year’s people’s choice winner was Eastern Promises. Hopefully this year it’s Burn After Reading or Che.

UPDATE: The winner is Slumdog Millionaire
