We turned Sunday into a three movie day, by adding Sightseers (a pick of the day from the TIFF artistic director Cameron Bailey) to the two we already had tickets for, Disconnect and Yellow. It’s already Tuesday and I’m back in Madison, but I’m just too tired to write up these last three – it’ll just have to wait.
I’m glad that Yellow turned out to NOT be our last film – Sightseers was a better ending to our TIFF experience. I checked and I think our WI Film Fest ended with a whimper, so I’m glad we went out on a higher note at TIFF.
We had lunch at Caplansky’s Deli. In Canada, I guess the big deli meat is smoked meat, rather than corned beef. I had the smoked meat hash & eggs; Mark had an omelette. The service was awful – we could’ve starved to death waiting for the food – but it was tasty when it came, except they did not treat Mark’s bagel very well. It was toasted but not buttered while it was still warm – and they charged an extra $1 for it too – shoulda prepared it more expertly at that price.
Smoked meat hash & eggs – well seasoned and tasty, although the fruit garnish was a joke, and I would’ve liked jam for my toast. The coffee was strong.
Mark’s omelette with that abused bagel – salami, cheddar, smoked meat & tomato, that he said was a good combo. He got latkes and applesauce with it – but no sour cream – I used some the applesauce in lieu of jam on my toast.
