Hello from the Toronto Film Festival!Well, it seems my streak of consecutive years at the festival (7) will come to an end in 2008, as this time next year I will have a 4-month old baby!
Amazing!
Anyway, I did get to see Ben Affleck live and in the flesh this year, so at least I was able to accomplish that goal before motherhood. I can't really say that I "met" him, or even had a "moment" with him, because I completely froze up and said/did nothing. I was close enough that I could have reached out an touched him, but after the Brad Pitt incident at the Venice Film Festival it is probably a good thing that I didn't.
So far my favorite movie here at the festival is Juno, which is a hilarious story about a pregnant 16-year old, directed by Jason Reitman (who directed "Thank You For Smoking.")
This has inspired me to create a Top Ten List of pregnancy/baby movies. If I get put on bed rest I'll watch all these movies in a 3-day span as research for the big day.
1. Nine Months
2. Waitress
3. Juno
4. Knocked Up
5. Look Who's Talking
6. Jersey Girl
7. Three Men and a Baby
8. She's Having A Baby
9. Raising Arizona
10. Fools Rush In

Jen-- Congrats! Mary shared your exciting news with me. My only suggestion is read "The Happiest Baby on the Block" It will save your sanity in the first three months. :)
