Well, maybe you thought I was joking when I said to boycott Knocked Up. It made $29 million USD and $2.11 million Canadian, and you've all gone and made Seth Rogen a bankable actor, and now he's off to a great career in Hollywood. So, shame on you all for seeing the only new film that was even remotely original. You should feel really, really horrible about that, and even more horrible if you went and saw Georgia Rule this weekend.

Thank God Callum Keith Rennie will never be a star. We'd hate to lose him.

Sarah Polley on the other hand will never be able to escape Canada, and is holding strong in the top ten and lucky #13 stateside. Away From Her has now grossed $4,448,640 (USD) worldwide in one month. That should almost pay for the budget without P&A.
