Movie time... maybe
So we decide to go out for some wholesome, all-Canadian entertainment. The Trailer Park Boys movie (second-time for me!).
What time is the movie playing, and where? You'd think these would be easy questions to answer. Think again. According to the Coast, the local alternative weekly, the film is on at three different theatres. But the Coast has been wrong before. We've turned up at the theatre to see movies they say are playing, when they're not. So off we go to the daily newspaper's website. They have different theatres and times listed. How about the theatre itself? Different again. This time out, it turns out the theatre is actually listing the correct times (as confirmed by a phone call) -- but they've been wrong in the past too, so you never know.
And what's with the directions people give in this place? Call the theatre where the film is (we hope) playing and the automated message tells you it's located "near the Superstore."
Oh, thank you. Reminds me of the guy who told me his shop was located "near the Tim Horton's" (there are about five in the vicinity), and when I said I wasn't sure where that was, he told me it was "near the Dairy Queen." Finally, he broke down and gave me actual directions.
