I haven’t opened my RSS reader in three weeks, so it’s taking me some time to get situated this morning. Sometime over the next couple of days, I can promise you that we’re going to wrap our Toronto coverage, which will include interviews with Ari Folman and Kathryn Bigelow, and as of Wednesday I’ll be in Austin to attend this year’s Fantastic Fest.

As a side note: I woke up this morning and read the Black Monday headlines, and all I could think of was Scrooge McDuck. Do you remember that Duck Tales video game where Scrooge and his nephews compete to see who can “collect the most money” in 30 days, in order to be declared DIME Magazine’s Duck of the Year? No? Oh, that’s probably because it was terrible. But the opening narrative bit, set to digital bagpipes, is pretty great, especially when Mr. McDuck declares, “I’ll be the winner, and I’ll win!” Luckily, someone played the entire game and put it on YouTube. Entertain yourself while I weed out my pre-Sarah Palin feeds.
