Caption Writing Person's radio silence this week? Just the calm before the Toronto International Film Festival storm. Unfollow him on Twitter @captionperson
Caption Writing Person is taking a day off before TIFF mania takes hold, so Caption Writing Intern is writing this gallery for course credit. One of CWI's favourite actors, Michael Clarke Duncan (rest in peace, big guy), will hand out grades. First, Jude Law strikes an extra-jaunty pose as he arrives for the world premiere of Anna Karenina at the Odeon Leicester Square in central London on Sept. 4, 2012. When later asked what he thought of the source material for the movie, he said: “TL;DR”DYLAN MARTINEZ/Reuters

You can’t really tell in this picture, but deep down, Jeremy Renner is really tired of promoting The Bourne Legacy in Berlin on Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. That, or he’s attempting to pronounce the film’s German title, Das Bourne Vermaechtnis.Michael Gottschalk/The Associated Press

Actor Sousuke Takaoka literally strikes a pose during the photocall of the movie The Millennial Rapture in Venice on Sept. 4, 2012. See, this is the joie de vivre of movie-making that we never see in North America because we force our celebrities to be plasticky, unfeeling acting machines who fear their every private moment will be splashed across tabloid fronts the moment they let their guards down. Shame on us, shame on us.TONY GENTILE/Reuters

Pierce Brosnan, however, ruins the moment by breaking the fourth wall and winking up through the computer screen right at YOU.TONY GENTILE/Reuters
