WTF moment of the day

So this morning I heard that Jack Layton did a press conference for journalism students. Sounds like a good chance for Jack to find some votes, but I won't lie- why he didn't he stop and do this during the last election? That would have been cool. Not that I didn't enjoy the experience of covering to a protest where j-schoolers outnumbered protesters but really...

I'm also angry at my local (read next 'city' over) movie theatre. Neither the theatre in Belleville or Kingston is showing Brokeback Mountain. But both claim to be showing Karla. Does this make sense to you? Not showing a mildly controversial film that's supposed to be really good but showing a really controversial film that's supposed to be terrible. Why?

Ahh the timeless struggle of "Gay cowboys: EEEWW!!" vs. "Serial Killers: YAAAAY!!".

Not sensible at all, but completely predictable from a box-office POV :)


Just come back to Toronto. Even the theatres miss you now.
