Midnight Madness at TIFF last Friday was exactly that; even with the film delayed 45 minutes due to technical difficulties the 1100 people in attendance were in high spirits, anxiously awaiting the premiere of Smuggler, a Japanese film directed by genius Katsuhito Ishii. Beach balls were hurled across the crowd (literally), actor/director Bobcat Goldthwait randomly appeared on stage to do a hilarious 15min stand up comedy set, and Mr. Ishii himself said a few words before the film finally started in the wee hours of the morning. Personally, I felt like a little kid at Christmas....I was "pee your pants" excited.
