Yeah....I'd heard they were making a movie......

WAIT A MINUTE....IT'S DONE?!?! And in theatres right now??!

Had no idea.....!

(Stopped following Brent Butt on Twitter a year or two ago -- too much tweeting! Tons of self-promotional tweeting and leftist-political tweeting...just too much tweeting! Funny how he needs so much tax relief and government subsidies to get his shows/movies made but that other businesses and people need to pay more...!)

Ah....short/limited run.....meeting the Walmart standard for stocking DVDs (Walmart doesn't carry direct-to-DVD movies; that's why you see so many movies do, like, three days in eight cities)....only Canadian cities....but not in Rouleau?!? Hey, wonder if "I'm going to see a movie" will get you across the border and back without difficulty....

Oh, no.......hackneyed lefty plot:
As residents make one last rally to save Dog River as they know it, they discover a devious plan by a corporate giant that would change life for Dog Riverites forever.
Sheesh.....

I have a way of handling such things....um, I mean a HYPOTHETICAL way of handling such things.....

If producers and stars are so anti-business and pro-income/wealth-sharing, I...um, HYPOTHETICALLY WOULD....make sure their businesses get NO INCOME from me by "acquiring"/"SHARING" the efforts of their labor in a manner that doesn't place them into an ethical quandary about having so much income/wealth!

And, of course, by that, I mean patiently waiting for it to arrive at my local library....... :roll: :?
Following its theatrical release, the 90-minute feature will make its network broadcast debut in December on CTV and CTV GO, following a special preview for The Movie Network and TMN GO subscribers. The movie will also air on The Comedy Network in December (all broadcast dates to be announced), complemented by a special collector’s edition DVD available for purchase before the holidays.
Huh....might be only a few weeks 'til it, uh, arrives at my local library! :mrgreen:


Wow....the "official trailer" doesn't exactly make it look great.......unfortunate.......

And how is this different than West Virginia, Kentucky, or even, (gasp) New Jersey or NYC. We hate our corporate overlords and fight to get them out of our back yard. When I was at Massey, the locals would take pot shots at us as we drove down the road in identifiable Company trucks yet welcomed the paychecks that fueled the community. This just tells me that Canada is just as messed up as the United States. At least we are all better off than "EuroLand" across the pond.

So they put their "movie" about a giant corporation taking over their town into theaters just long enough to get a giant corporation to carry their DVD?
