Toronto 2008: Bill Maher, Kevin Smith, and the great outdoors

My voice is still a bit shaky, PopWatchers, and my sleep schedule remains all kinds of wackadoodle, but at least the remnants of Gustav have finally (hopefully) pushed beyond the Ontario borders. That’s right, the sun is shining bright on the Toronto International Film Festival, which means I can at long last vlog outdoors! (Ooo. That just sounds vaguely untoward, huh? It’s not, I promise.) So click on to hear more about why I had to walk out of Fifty Dead Men Walking (starring Ben Kingsley and 21‘s Jim Sturgess), what surprised Kevin Smith the most about Toronto, what may be an advance look at a Religulous DVD extra courtesy Bill Maher, and what some native Torontonians had to say about the film festival that’s called their city home for over 30 years.
