In early 2013, he wrote a piece in the Toronto Star describing his preferred seating locations at many of Toronto's major cinemas. Gorber contends that finding a proper seat is "nearly as important as the film itself" for viewers interested in a full cinematic experience, describing the search as "part art, part science" for a committed few.[15] He has also written reviews of specialty cinemas, including a profile of the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas.[22]
Gorber has been described by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a Star Wars aficionado.[23] After Disney's announcement in late 2012 of plans to create Star Wars Episode VII (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), he tweeted, "I will be 43 years old in 2015, and yet I will still be lining up. This is what I do. So, who's with me in line?"[24]
