At Toronto's Scotiabank Theatre, its management already started theatre checking. Expect having your bags search at the door.]]>

Camming in a theatre IS actually illegal, and a criminal offense.  Anywhere up to 5 years in jail and the potential for fines up to a million dollars (I'm assuming thats reserved for piracy rings)

I did the math and despite 20th Century Fox's claims that Canada amounts to 50% of movie piracy (which is so silly that it's almost absurd), the numbers actually amount to as low as 5% and likely no more than 10%

Independent studies of piracy has shown that Canada is responsible for no more than 23% of camcorded pirated movies and that a whopping 77% of pirated movies originate from Hollywood insiders and reviewers.  So what's 23 percent of 23 percent?  A whole lot of dick all, that's what.

I get the feeling that other studios (like WB)  are accepting the 50% statistic from Fox as fact, instead of what it really is, complete fabrication.

This reminds me of the time when Pamela Anderson started her crusade against KFC for cruelty to chickens based entirely on urban legends and hearsay.]]>

I quite enjoyed <i>28 Weeks Later</i> (and I usually hate horror/thrillers) and Laura Linney rocked my socks off in <i>Jindabyne</i>.  As much as I love Zach Braff, <i>The Ex</i> didn't do it for me.]]>

28 Weeks Later is a sequel I'm keen to see too. 

Then Children of Men (any word on sequel potential there?).]]>

Responsibility for the camcorder threat should fall to theatre managers, who are willfully driving their own industry out of business by not posting staff members in screenings to prevent piracy - not to mention cell phone conversations! It's high time theatres started taking responsibility for declining ticket sales and rising piracy, and deal with the problem head on.

Can't wait to see 28 Weeks Later...]]>
