Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett will be in Toronto to flog the TIFF showings of Alejando Gonzalez Innaritu's Babel (Paramount Vantage, 10.27), as will Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott for the screenings of A Good Year (20th Century Fox, 11.10). And a publicist friend called today about setting up an interview with a client.

But nothing can be scheduled, of course, because the Toronto Film Festival hasn't made the schedules of press and public screenings available.

Remember that exchange from Beat the Devil when the ship's captain announces that an engine part has cracked and the ship can't leave port until a replacement arrives. "Now see here," says an irate English passenger. "This vessel is schedued, most definitely scheduled, to leave port at midnight tonight." And the captain says, "Scheduled, sir, but not, I fear, destined to do so." (Dialogue by Truman Capote.)
