We always remember what movies we saw where, and when. At the Carlton Cinema in Toronto I saw such fare as The Architecture of Doom, The Player, and Visions of Light. I admit I have not being going in recent years. And now, I have no choice as that choice cinema is now closed.And I call myself a movie fan. Fuck the mainstream!... I say. Too bad I did not put my money where my box office is... was.

I think where the Carlton went wrong was their prices. Much as I'd like to see the foreign films there, the theatres were tiny. How could they justify the same ticket price as the larger cinemas, such as the Cumberland? (Which, I hear, will be taken from us to make--sweet Jesus--more condos).
Thank God for Criterion and places like Bay Street Video, Suspect, and Queen Street Video. Seems like there won't be any theatres showing anything but blockbusters soon.
More condos... more cars. Ain't that just great?! And on that spot of Bloor Street. I cannot wait until "road tolls" come into the Toronto core.
Yes, movies. And all those great home-video-venues in Toronto, to keep us sane.
