I think I would be a bit shocked at three months in jail if someone video taped a movie from a cinema seat then sold bootlegged physical cassette copies. Three months is a lot. Same goes for digital piracy I suppose. But when you call yourself "Big Crook" I suppose you are somewhat aware of what's coming.
And...to no doubt mirror a thousand, nay, a million blogs - you went to jail for Daredevil, Red Planet and Miss Congeniality?!?!

I shun movies even since I saw that movie about Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons at the Truro Twin Cinima around 1980. Was it called <i>Quest For Fire</i>?

quest for fire. yeah. unforgettable. seared in my memory. crusoe on mars dates to about 1965. i still stand by red planet. but nobody else does.

No, it played downtown, Centennial Twin Cinemas. I remember it because the audience laughed at it for ten minutes then slowly moved to grunting along with the jokes. It was freaky.

that Truro Twin Cinema.
It's now called 'Empire Studio Seven' and it's over at the Power Centre (Highway). Some people call it Empire Super Seven... I don't know why. I'm not into lotteries and that.

Centennial Twin Cinemas
You're talking about the Prince street one?

Quest For Fire was simply great!
HEY. I remember that... That was the one with Rae Dawn Chong. She's Canadian...

Downtown - not the fourplex at the McDonald's side of Robie Street Mall. I have had too many Prince Streets in my life since Truro...
Alan - November 7, 2005 6:03 PM
Arthur! You have done the most Canadian thing a Canadian can do - point out that a Canadian is in fact Canadian when participating in a thing that is not obviously Canadian.
Arthur - November 7, 2005 6:10 PM
Downtown - not the fourplex at the McDonald's side of Robie Street Mall.
Yes, Prince street that'd be.

i've said it before arthur - you can tell a canadian because like criminals and homosexuals, we're always looking for each other.

Portland is a genius...

...and now a spammer goes to jail for six years. Harsh?<blockquote class="smalltext">And when victims complained, he threatened to destroy their internet systems by sending millions of spam e-mails. Peterborough Crown Court heard he also threatened to fire-bomb the headquarters of the county's trading standards department and petrol-bomb his local police headquarters. When internet policing group Nominet posted warnings about his activities, he responded by saying he would attack its servers. Francis-Macrae, who made more than £100,000 per week from the scam, spent £28,000 on designer clothes and on learning to fly helicopters, the court heard.</blockquote>Perhaps not.
