Hi Diane,

You must be busy hopping around the VIFF and are enjoying viewing a lot of movies.
But be well-prepared.

Well..., a super earthquake will hit Vancouver in the near future.
Don't scare the shit out of me, Kato! --- you might as well say that. he, he, he, he, he, ...

Hi Kato,
What a gorgeous day it is!
You're right on about that.
You're also right about the VIFF being in progress.
I went to a fabulous Danish one last night "Teddy Bear," which was exceptional, really, and my cinephile buddies felt the same way.
Teddy Bear
Directed by Mads Matthiesen
Genre: comedy
Country: Denmark
Dennis (Kim Kold), a bodybuilder and part-time security guard at a slaughterhouse in Copenhagen, has a problem:
At 38 years of age, he’s still living at home with mom.
And what a mom Ingrid (Elsebeth Steentoft) is: Stern and domineering, she is unable to allow Dennis to grow up and, God forbid, start to date.
But eventually, Dennis decides to grow wings – flying to Thailand on a secret vacation (he tells mom he’s attending a bodybuilding tournament in Germany), where after a few awkward hookups with local Thai prostitutes he meets Toi, the accidental owner of a local gym (a facility she inherited from her late husband).
Love ensues – but watch what happens when Toi visits Dennis in Denmark.
Kold is masterfully understated as the painfully awkward hulk – a man whose only real power can be exercised with weights.

It drew us all in and made you feel like you understood the lead actor and his quandry.
We were on the edge of our seats hoping that things would work out for him. Great.
Not going to as many as I used to but should see 10 or so before it's through.
Thanks for this update on Vancouver quakes.

I do remember a small one that occurred during working hours in my office.
Everything just started shaking and before we could figure out what was going on it stopped.
My mother used to have a earthquake preparedness kit which she refreshed religiously.
She had it for YEARS.
She's passed on now since 1991 so you can see why I don't take this stuff seriously.
I like the Bible quote that goes something like this.
"Do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will
worry about itself."
They say that most of the things we worry about never come to pass ... so what the heck, right kiddo?
Hope you're having fun at Joe Fortes!
Maybe I'll see you at the VIFF.
