What's a large popcorn and drink run to start? $30 now?

Ha! 

 

Capitol 6 Theatres have been doing free large pop refills for years and at a lesser cost than Cineplex.

 

Cineplex translation: After downsizing our large sodas multiple times, you can now almost get a large of old if you use our new refill program, but at a higher price.

I agree, this trailer is pretty good.

“Leaked.”

Yeah, sure.

[lanforod]

Ukrainian version. I do wonder how much the attempts to cancel Zegler will have on this movie. My kids will see it, because I couldn't care less about what the starring actress says or believes outside of her job.

[lanforod]

Oh wait, maybe i should check with Mike first what agenda Disney is pushing with this.

[Victoria Watcher]

Ya it’s not going to make me see it or not. I like a good musical. And I did go see west side story.

I find it pretty funny how Gal Gadot is the wicked stepmother jealous of Zegler’s looks. Ya OK.

Did Dinklage complaining about the casting help or hurt actors? Looks like they have gone to computer animated dwarfs now.

Sounds like it hurt.

Fairy tales have always had an underlying message.

Excellent analogy to what I’m talking about, generally, when discussing film.

Cool yeah. Where's the pagan angle this time?

Was going to say the usual 'agenda' is typically ascribed to one of the occult, a satanic cabal, or the Devil - or whatever moniker he is going by these days

It took a pair of Hollywood writers to bring a legendary Canadian heist story to the screen. 

 

The Sticky, from writers Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, is loosely based on the 2011-2012 theft of $18.7 million worth of maple syrup from a storage facility in Quebec, in a series of events that made headlines around the country and sent five people to jail.

 

The TV show hits Amazon Prime on Friday, but some have mixed feelings about it coming from an American streaming giant at a time when Canadian filmmakers are struggling and some in the industry worry the streaming boom has left Canadian creators behind. 

 

"I do get a little nervous when a mega corporation, possibly the biggest corporation in the world, is like, 'OK, don't worry, we're going to take care of this.' Because they're not really accountable to us at all," said Montreal-based film critic Justine Smith.

Christopher Diamantopoulos^[1] (Greek: Χριστόφορος Διαμαντόπουλος (Khristóforos Diamantópoulos); born May 9, 1975) is a Canadian actor. He played Russ Hanneman in the HBO series Silicon Valley and starred in the film The Three Stooges, and the TV series Good Girls Revolt. He voiced Mickey Mouse in the eponymous television series, The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse and the short film Once Upon a Studio; for the former, he received two Emmy Award nominations.

I did not know he was Canadian.

I had no clue Christopher was Canadian.

 

He turned out such a memorable role in The Three Stooges movie.

 

Could the Canadian crime of the kidnapping of Uncle Chichimus and Hollyhock be in the books for Amazon?

Ya he’s good. Rarely known he’s an actor working the (unseen) cameras and boom mikes in The Office when at the end of the series they reveal a few characters from the “documentary” crew. I think he steps in to help Pam with something.

I watched the first episode tonight. Not bad, I think I’ll give it episode two.

The lead acres was excellent in Justified, I think her character is not as well-written here.

 

But ya, I'll go for episode 3 soon.

[LJ]

I agree, she was great in Justified. My wife watched the first episode and is not a fan.

I think you have to keep in mind it's a black comedy, not supposed to be too serious.

[Victoria Watcher]

 

Really did not watch this much when it first aired. But much later when A&E had it, I watched most episodes.  Good times.
