Canuck's Embassy

Hmmmm smarties

I once drank something called 'Clearly Canadian'.

Oh yes.. funny no one has said this before: the Smallville/Canada connection? Vancouver! The Hollywood of the North

[i luv tom welling]

Vancouver is the 4th largest film/tv making city in North America, after Hollywood, L.A., and Toronto.

[Dukegirl]

Let's see how many series and movies we can think of that are made in and around Vancouver
TV SERIES:
Smallville
StarGate SG-1 (and most likely also the spin off, Atlantis)
The Dead Zone
Dead Like Me

Now R.I.P. if I'm not mistaken: X Files

MOVIES
Daredevil (and the Elektra movie)

That's all I can think of for now...

[i luv tom welling]

I, Robot was filmed in Vancouver...

Russell Crowe is in Toronto right now filming a movie. I'm going downtown today, so maybe if they're still there, I might catch a glimpse of him on set somewhere (although, with Toronto being something like the largest city in Canada, there are a lot of odds against me seeing him ).

[Dukegirl]

The Criminal Instincts movies (starring Victor Garber ) were made in Toronto, right?

Have you seen them? I think they were pretty good.

About Canadian movies.. I have Men With Brooms on DVD. Now that's a great comedy, you have to see it!

I have seen it! I love Paul Gross... not like that, but you know. Speaking of Paul Gross, Due South was made in Toronto.

Ehm Jim Carrey's also a Canuck.

[i luv tom welling]

I saw Jim Carrey's star on the Canadian Walk of Fame today

And I also saw part of the set for Russell Crowe's new movie "The Cinderella Man", which is based on a true story (it's set in New York in 1935). Here are some pictures!!











I also took a picture inside of Union Station, which has been used for numerous movies, two of the most popular being Superman and X-Men.

[KJK]

Nice pics, iltw!!

Thanks, Kam I also have pictures of me with the Stanley Cup and my friend beside the Lucky Loonie, but I don't think they'll be leaving the folder on my computer Besides, it's not the REAL Stanley Cup, because the real one is out with the Tampa Bay Lightning. It's the stand-in, right now, but I do have pictures of the old, original cup

BAD news!!!!! That US discount-store chain Target is trying to buy the Hudson's Bay Company The Bay is 334 years old, and the only domestically owned department store retailer. How the hell can we support the economy if EVERY single store in Canada is American owned?? I'm just so pissed off. Ever since Eaton's folded, The Bay is all we have.

Here's the article from the Globe and Mail http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl...BNStory/Front/

I wonder if we could start a boycott. That would be so cool. But hopefully, it won't come to that. Let's hope the HBC is thinking in the interests of Canadians rather than their wallets.
