Looking for Help

Tod Maffin and assorted allies of his are apparently hoping to preserve the CBCUnplugged weblog archives from the days of the Lockout and could use some help, if they haven't already figured out a workable solution to the question by the time I post this. Here's where the subject came up.

Canadian Content in the Movie Theatres: A Brief Rant

I was hoping to see The Rocket, a mythology/docudrama movie about the hockey career of Maurice Richard, within the next couple of weeks. Possibly even this weekend.

Alas, 'tis not to be.

Apparently, all the theatres in Ottawa-Gatineau that were carrying it have pulled the usual "get the CanCon out of the way ASAP so we can get back to showing 'real' movies" routine. It's the biggest frustration anyone who wants to make or see Canadian movies for and in Canadian movie theatres has to face, and it is a continuing problem.

Suffice to say, I am displeased.

I have the sneaking suspicion that The Rocket is actually a Damn Good Movie, but in order to confirm it, I want to see it in a movie theatre. And that's not happening now, is it?

Does anyone reading this blog in Ottawa know if it's going to come back to the theatres for a return engagement? Soon, I hope?
