funny canadian slacker comedy. this seems like a combination of cheech and chong, Ali G, snatch, clerks and the british office, all of which are good things :) this movie had such a cult following that they did a tv show, which is now in its 7th season in canada.
Extract from the first episode of the 7th series of Trailer Park Boys.
Trailer Park Boys -The Pilot The Movie where it all began, as you can see the black and white style reminds one of clerks
This recession has shown us that the near future is going to bring lots of unemployment. A theme I have been talking about forever! is the idea of a renaissance in artisan production and niche creative services.
More than 70,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this Great Recession. Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising are forced to be creative with their own lives.
YES! this looks awesome. kind of reminds me of beetlejuice.
Following on from the untimely death of Heath Ledger, the producers of Terry Gilliam’s new movie The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus faced the difficult decision of re-casting the the role that Ledger was playing, and which was two thirds of the way through its production when Ledger was found dead in his apartment.
The role of Ledger won’t be replaced by any one actor. part of the movie will involed Ledger’s character going through magical mirrors into different worlds. and its when he’s in these different worlds, Ledger’s character will be played by three different actors:

"Opening this Friday is Megumi Sasaki’s documentary about Herb & Dorothy, two of the most inspirational people a collector like myself could ever come across. There’s nothing I’ve ever wanted more than to own a Rothko or one of Barnett Newman’s Stations of the Cross, but that sort of art collecting has been relegated to wealthy corporations or in the know rich socialites… well usually that is. Enter Herb and his wife Dorothy, a postal worker and librarian who armed with simply astute eyes for talent and challenging work began amassing in the 1960s an impressive collection of who’s who in Modern Art, all on a shoe-string budget which was then hung entirely in their small NY apartment.
The greatest thing about the two of them is they chose never to sell any of the pieces. Work whose worth could have easily catapulted them to the ranks of the upper class had they chose to part with it. But Herb & Dorothy chose to hold on to the whole collection until donating most of it to the National Gallery along with a variety of other museums across the country. Now that’s true love and dedication for a medium.
