It's been awhile!!!

Well folks it's been quite some time since my last entry here. Life just seems to get in the way sometimes. I've watched a shit ton of films to be sure, just didn't have the drive to blog about them, I'm going to change that pronto. I've come to realize that I will forever be connected to films in one way or another. My love of them will never die, might get cloudy from time to time, but will endure like a marriage that has gone on for to long but can't seem to brake ties.
I'd love to do a recap of the films I have watched but that would most likely take me years to write my way through so I'm going to start anew so to speak. I'm going to try & be weekly with movie reviews & try & be daily with other tid bits such as photo's of old movie houses, posters, standee's, press books...ect.

 I'll start with a slice of theatre greatness. Old school theatre lovers rejoice, the HUMBER is back in operation. After nearly 10 years laying dormant a couple of young bucks have sprung into action to bring back a little movie going flair. From the retro looking outfits to the sweat your ass off no A/C(a problem that I've had a tiny hand in helping restore) these guy's set out to do it right. I was there working on the A/C when the latest Harry Potter film was playing, these guy's rent a truck, had banners strapped to the sides & drove up & down streets drumming up business, with help of an air horn as well. They only have one screen open right now, originally there were two(upper & lower). The lower screen is having a restoration job ongoing as these guy's are installing 2 screening rooms, a move I suspect to try & grab some TIFF attractions. They play first run films with what I hope will be some kind of retro night playing older films to come, & I do mean FILM. That's right these guy's are doing it old school, no digital projection(at least not yet). It was a special treat walking through the projection booth seeing the film spooled & running, not to mention the feel of watching a movie on film, just awesome.
