To screams and hoots Bono, The Edge and Director Davis Guggenheim have arrived at the debut of their movie and are inside. Two slow moving SUVs rolled up surrounded by wild fans. The pair took about five minutes to enter the building after chatting with the crowd and signing autographs. Mary Chaise from Hamilton who got a look at the pair said the wait was wort it. "They're just incredible," she said.

Bono and the Edge? Are you kidding me? I guess they are B listers any where else so they show here to try and make the A listers. The TIFF really sucks compared to the other award shows.The Canadian shows just don't make it. We have great actors but the Canadian movies and TV shows really do suck.
