No line for 'Gerhard Richter Painting' but Atom Egoyan is there

Dinner with friends. Everyone talked movies they'd seen so far at TIFF. Got to Bell Lightbox phenomenally early. My friend Cathy told me over dinner that there was pedestrian gridlock on the sidewalk at Yonge St. in front of the Elgin and the Visa screening room. People waiting for stars obviously. As for me, no lineup for the international premier of this doc Gerhard Richter Painting. We have the best seats in the house and Atom Egoyan just walked in. Its unnerving however for my friend Cathy who said this: "I've never been first in line!"
