PEACHES DOES HERSELF: Twitter Round-Up

Though the Festival is nearing its end (sniff sniff), there are still two more chances to catch Peaches Does Herself, or would that be "chances to catch Peaches doing herself"? Looks like Twitter is overwhelmed, overstimulated, and over the moon about the movie:

Peaches does herself was the most bizarre experience and totally not what I was expecting. Still awesome though. #tiff

HERE COMES THE DEVIL: Twitter Round-Up

Here comes Here Comes The Devil, the new film from Argentinian director Adrián García Bogliano. This one is set in Tijuana, but it's not about a bunch of high school kids on Spring Break. Unless Spring Break includes murder, possessed children, and creepy peeping toms. (If it does, you should probably seek help.)

What sayeth Twitter? Here's a sampling?

BEIJING FLICKERS: Twitter Round-Up

If you've read about iconoclastic director Zhang Yuan on the Vanguard blog, then you probably got tickets for a screening of his new film, Beijing Flickers, playing at the Festival.

What? You didn't? Well, here's what Twitter is saying about the movie and it should change your mind:

Beijing Flickers was really cool, maybe what Salinger would have made if he was Chinese and directed movies #TIFF12

BLONDIE: Twitter Round-Up

Swedish director Jesper Ganslandt's latest film, Blondie, is not about Debbie Harry, but it is about a family of blonde women. It premiered at the Festival on Monday, September 10. Here's what peeps are saying about Blondie on Twitter:

#Blondie has strong female characters & curious tension between the sophisticated and the cheesey #SwedishFilm #TIFF2012
— Pippi Shortstockings (@PippiShrtstkngs) September 12, 2012

Blondie at #TIFF was written about my family. Only we aren't models.
— Jaime Neely (@jaimeneely) September 11, 2012

#Blondie had 4 main characters, all women!& barely talked about men #BechdelTest #TIFF2012 #SwedishFilm
