The Toronto International Film Festival ran from September 10 - 19, 2009 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Well, this one is way closer than I expected with 58% voting that they haven't walked out of a film this year but a whopping 42% saying yes - because of the film! This is way up from 2009 where it was 100% no for walk outs.

58% - No
42% - Yes - because of the film
0% - Yes - because of time

Thanks for voting!

Looks like most of us are went with a good pace this year with 60% not TIFF'd out yet and only 40% are Getting There. People out and about still sound energetic and enthused so that is a good thing! We'll see how the weekend progresses.

60% - Not Yet
40% - Getting There
0% - Tie: Yes, Make it Stop! and No, I Want More!

The results are in! Considering how many public screenings are at Scotiabank, it's good to hear that people like it! I like the location as well as the fact most of the time you don't have to line up but there have been several queues although they have all worked smoothly this year.

42% - Scotiabank
14% - 4 Way Tie! AMC, Bader, Elgin and Ryerson
0% - 5 Way Tie: Cumberland, Elgin - Wintergarden, Jackman Hall, Roy Thomson Hall and Varsity

Thanks for voting!

I be likin' these results! Looks like we want to know what the filmmakers have to say with 80% saying you will Always stay for the Q&A and 20% chiming in at Sometimes. One of the big treats of seeing films in a festival setting is the Q&A's - when else can you get such a quick response to what they were thinking?

80% - Always
20% - Sometimes
0% - Never

Thanks for voting!

Sounds like it's another busy year at TIFF!

80% - Very Full
20% - Always Have Seats Available
0% - Sold Out
0% - It varies Depending on the Film

Thanks for voting!

This particular question feels like perfect timing to ask as today I was really noticing the difference in where people sit, especially seeing 2 different films at Ryerson recently where some people love the close seats and some people avoid them like the plague. It's no big surprize that centre, centre takes centre stage!

50% - Centre, Centre
25% - tie: On the Aisle and At the Front
0% - At the Back

Thanks for voting!

Looks like most of us go pretty early to screenings from the standard being 1 hour ahead of time. Lots of ties today, 25% taking chances closer to screening time at 15-30 min, or 12% playing it safe at 2+ hrs.

37% - 1 hr
25% - tie: 30 min and 15 min
12% - 2 hrs +
0% - tie: 1 1/2 hrs, 45 min, 5 min, Depends of the film

Thanks for voting!

Well, it looks like us TIFFers want it all! Majority rules and 50% of us want all of the above: The Films (individually 25%), The Experience (individually 25%), The Filmmakers and The Stars.

50% - All of the Above
25% - The Films
25% - The Experience
0% - The Filmmakers
0% - The Stars

Thanks for voting!

Wow, the numbers all over the place this poll with lots of ties. First place holds strong at 25% seeing 30-39 films, which many people I know do and it feels like a sweet spot of seeing a lot but not getting too burned out. A 3-way tie for second place goes to folks seeing 10-19 films, 1-4 films or 0 film (aww!). Next up is another 3-way for the heavier hitters going for 40-49 films, 20-29 films or 5-9 films. An no one picked 50+, the most challenging schedule which means you pretty much have to see midnight screenings and then come back at 9am the next day - that is too heavy even for me!

25% - 30 to 39
16% - 10 to 19
16% - 1 to 4
16% - 0
8% - 40 to 49
8% - 20 to 29
8% - 5 to 9
0% - 50+
