okay. so since we're in quebec, and i don't live in montreal, we usually get french dubs of movies. we're used to it. whatever. i don't mind going down to montreal to watch original language films, and sometimes we're lucky enough to get original versions films that are not huge sure blockbusters.
i'm going to montreal on sunday to shop for cd's (death cab?, the sparklehorse debut, richard x, saint etienne, ladytron, weakerthans, etc -- i'm taking suggestions), and since i was there and i still have 6 movies left on my pass, i decided to check out the cinema du parc's schedule. well, in the afternoon they have Big Fish, Girl with a Pearl Earring, and School of Rock. not too bad but i would've gone for sure if they'd had Triplets of Belleville.
now we're friday morning and i check out our local movie theaters' schedules.
we got 21 Grams :)
and Triplets of Belleville ! :)
dunno when i'll actually go see them but this is very cool.
oh, yesterday i went back to hmv to take advantage of their sale items.
i was going for 4 particular items, hoping no one had gotten to them during the two days i didn't have any money :)
what i got for $7.99 (canadian) each:
everything but the girl - amplified heart
the smiths - the smiths
the smiths - the queen is dead
the smiths - strangeways, here we come
now my smiths studio album collection is complete :) i'd only seen two of these albums when i was there last tuesday, so seeing the actual debut got me all excited :) snatched it up.
here's more than a few shockers that i found - 2/$30:
the new pornographers - mass romantic !!!
the new pornographers - electric version
i'd never even seen them at hmv and now they have them (both!) and they're on-sale??? lol. insane. snatched them both up.
actually finding the debut made me very happy. i seriously wasn't expecting that one. and i saw it at the very last possible second too before i went to pay for them. and the fact that i went in to see what that album was without knowing or having the actual artwork for it before. pure fooking chance.
. . . . . . .
hmv has an air promo ep (a song from each of their release either entitled cherry-something or cherries); you get it when you buy an air album at hmv. thought i'd let you guys know.
. . . . . . .
yesterday at work, someone in a lab left netscape on on the stereolab site :) someone has taste in this city. i wonder if it's the cool girl. lol. chances are it's this one guy, though :)
