ADVANCED ENGLISH LESSON #4
(From "BINGO! Magazine [Volume #5 September 2006]")
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
X： I'm so excited about the Toronto Film Festival.
Sarah： I know what you mean. I am A MOVIE BUFF and really enjoy these types of festivals.
Tom： What I really like about the film festival is that there are so many films that PUSH THE ENVELOPE.
Sarah： Exactly! I am tired of the Hollywood BLOCKBUSTER FILMS which have no substance. I want something ARTSY and the film festival DELIVERS.
Tom： This is also one of the most famous festivals. People COME FROM FAR AND WIDE to watch these films.
Sarah： They also come to see the STARS OF TINSEL TOWN. The stars are always here during the Toronto Film Festival.
Tom： So how many films will you be able to see this year?
Sarah： I want to see as many as possible. I can't wait to buy my tickets, get some popcorn, and enjoy the films. I know I will be GLUED TO MY SEAT in the movie theatre. Hopefully, I will be able to GIVE TWO THUMBS UP to all the movies I see!
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
A MOVIE BUFF＝映画ファン
PUSH THE ENVELOPE＝もっと高いレベルを求める
BLOCKBUSTER FILMS＝大ヒット映画
ARTSY＝芸術的な
DELIVERS＝満足させてくれる
COME FROM FAR AND WIDE＝広く方々を旅行する、あらゆる所から
STARS OF TINSEL TOWN＝金ピカの町からのセレブリティ
GLUED TO MY SEAT＝画面（いす・席）にくぎ付けになる
GIVE TWO THUMBS UP＝最高である・上出来である
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
サラー：トロント映画祭、すっごい楽しみだな。
トム：わかるわかる。オレ映画マニアだからこういうお祭りホント大好きなんだ。
サラー：トロント映画祭で一番いいのは革新的な映画が多いってとだよな。
トム：その通り！ハリウッド系の中身空っぽな金まみれ映画にはうんざりさ。芸術的作品かオ俺を満足させてくれるのが見たいな。
サラー：超有名なフェスティバルの一つでもしね。みんないろんなところからたくさんの映画を見に来るし。
トム：ハリウッドのセレブ達を見に来る人達も多いね。トロント映画祭の期間中スターがずっとこの町にいるんだもん。
サラー：今年はいくつ映画を見るつもりなんだい？
トム：できる限りたたくさん。チケット買って、ポップコーン食べながら映画を見るのが待ちきれないぜ。映画祭に行ったらきっと席から離れなくなるだろうな。見に行く映画、全部最高にイケてる映画だといいんだけどさ〜！

Sadly, I didn't get a chance to go to the Film Festival.
The time wasn't very convenient for me. It was quite expensive too. I think about $45 for a 3-movie pass. Maybe some people would disagree on it being expensive, I would also have to take a train to Toronto from my house, costing about $15.
I'm also not a 'movie person.' The people in this article are too excitied.
