Do you know what's wrong with these pretzels?

Pretzels... or are they?

Syrian Opposition Protest Rally in Mississauga

This matter is no joke but I had nowhere else to upload it but on this blog, so please save your bullets for someone more deserving.

This has nothing to do with movies but as I was on my way to catch a bus downtown to watch a movie, I found myself in the middle of a protest rally. I believe the effort is identified as the Walk 4 Children Of Syria (Facebook, Twitter, website) and I was caught in the Mississauga leg of the international event, happening simultaneously across several locations yesterday, 17 November 2012.

This is not my war but I thought I'd upload the pictures for you anyway because every humanitarian cause deserves as much attention it can get.

The crowd was about 300 strong and they walked right outside my apartment, which is where I joined them. One guy had a loudspeaker and people shouted out: "When I say FREEDOM, you say NOW", "FREE SYRIA NOW", and "FREE GAZA NOW".

Police escort is customary. No casualties were reported. In fact, I think one of the officers helped a young mum who had a busted pram wheel. There were babies, kids and old folks. Spirits were high.

Excuse me, Mr Jack Nicholson...

"Why, you little..."

Sharknado!! Serious balls, sharks in tornadoes!!

Sharknado poster at the American Film Market 2012, I think.

I can't remember which came first - the fake Hurricane Sandy news about sharks having landed on people's backyards, or this news from the American Film Market about an actual movie from mockbuster schlock house The Asylum.

Previous credits include Almighty Thor, Transmorphers: Fall of Man, Sunday School Musical, Titanic II, Nazis At The Center Of The Earth and Mega Python vs. Gatoroid.Funnily enough, recently I've watched a spate of dodgy shark movies - Shark Night (2011), Bait 3D (2012) and even Tintorerra (1977).

That really got me in the mood, so I went to the supermarket and got me some shark meat...

Pretty cheap, compared to other oily fish of the same kind.

James Bond exhibit in Toronto

All the way from London...and no photography allowed? Ishhh...

There's an awesome James Bond exhibit at TIFF Bell Lightbox going on right now and I'd love to have taken a photo of every single thing on display for you, if not for the fact that it's CAD 16.95 per pax just to get in!!!

The William H. Macy refrain in Cooler (2003) comes to mind - "That's too much!"

Part of that 16 bucks must go towards paying the lady at the gate, who even had an English accent and must be some secret agent travelling with the exhibits.

Pah!

Anyway, I took photos of what's in the free areas and also sneaked a shot or two through the shutters.
