...beauty of TIFF, with an unseeable total slate of 261 features in 10 whirlwind days, is that each moviegoer creates his own festival. And the hottest Toronto ticket, the buzz bomb of the Great White North, is another Brit-American mockumentary that is just as politically pointed as Death of a President but with a wildly raucous, satiric tone. It is Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, whose guide is a purported TV host and "sixth most famous man in Kazakhstan" of the former Soviet Union.

Death of a President- which was impishly acronymed in the TIFF press material as D.O.A.P. (go on, say it out loud) - quickly became the festival's hottest ticket.

It might be better for Hillary to run as Vice President on a ticket with a presidential candidate who can bring both parties together...
...Alandar, 52, is one of those fans. A season-ticket holder for four years, the X-ray-machine salesman from Peoria, Ariz., says he and his girlfriend used to bring mist sprayers and portable fans to keep cool as they grilled on the bleachers at Sun Devil Stadium. "The first four or five games used to be a test of your endurance," he says. Now the couple enjoys $100 cushioned club seats in the soaring, air-conditioned arena...
