Warner Bros. to Canada: Bad! Bad! Bad!

Warner has stopped all promotional screenings of its film releases, and shifted all press screenings to its HQ theatre (which seems like a just a bit of an over reaction), because of fear of its films being "camcorded".

If they stop all their films, maybe we can we squeeze a few small Canadian films in their place.

Actually, I'll go as far as saying that all American film companies should stop theatrical releases here. Maybe then, after weeks and weeks of mediocre films playing non-stop across the nation, the public outcry will be so loud that we're bound to give a filmmaker enough money to make a good movie.

Just a thought.

Most likely we'll just beg the Americans to come back so we can see some explosions and fire and actors we recognize.
