And now for a movie actually worth seeing. The Five Ring Circus premieres this weekend at the Rio Theatre (Broadway & Commercial). The film chronicles the sinister political manuring...er...manouvering around Vancouver's 2010 Olympic bid, and the ensuing fallout.
Recently, in my babble persona as Ursa Minor, I participated in an discussion thread entitled Let's Boycott the Vancouver Olympics. I suggested that it was possible to appreciate the Olympic games and remain opposed to the social and environmental beat down being inflicted by the NPA, the BS Fiberals and the Harpercons passed off as preparations for the Games. I'm looking forward to seeing this film, and finding out if that position will change as a result.
BTW, if you are going to the Rio this weekend, check your receipts from the Commercial Drive Safeway. There may be a coupon for a free small popcorn and soda on the back.
