On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

We lost one of the good ones in Canadian movie-making. Grateful to him for his part in both Bon Cop, Bad Cop and The Trotsky.

I saw that movie tonight. I laughed, I cried, I swore (in both official languages)...and it was worth it.

Music video (that's actually related)!

There ought to be a second Bon Cop, Bad Cop movie. Colm Feore's still tied up working on The Borgias, though, right? And what about Patrick Huard?

More on other stuff later today.

Inspired by this entry from co-writer Alex Epstein's blog.

Interesting revelation on your blog. Sad to see the ROC box office figures being what they are, because I know that in my neck of the Ottawa woods, the buzz has been VERY good indeed.

In fact, I'm planning on going back for a second viewing within the week. I'm also pleasantly surprised to see the film actually holding on in the Ottawa market for five weeks now. I don't think I've seen a made-in-Canada movie do this well since Men With Brooms.

You'd think that being able to laugh at Ontarians and Quebecois both making laughingstocks of themselves at select points throughout the movie would fill lots of seats in the western and Maritime provinces. (And I speak as a Saskatchewan-born and Prairie-raised kid, so I like to think I have *some* expertise on this point! *grin*)

Thanks again for contributing to a Damn Good Movie, Alex!
