Pick of the Day: Tabloid

By on January 8, 2012 in Film, Religion, Uncategorized

If you’re a fan of tabloid culture you’ll likely enjoy this documentary by Errol Morris which screens tonight at the RPL Theatre at 7 p.m.

It concerns a sensational sex scandal with religious overtones that occured in the 1970s. To find out more, Google “manacled Mormon” or watch this trailer.

    I love the Film Theatre at the RPL, with its convenient location. You can go through the front doors at Central Branch and right down the stairs to catch a movie, cheap, without having to walk past the Dunlop Art Gallery with all that nudity.

    Going to Toronto but the Leafs will be out of town? No problem.
    Take a side trip down Highway 401 to Waterloo and pay a visit to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. They give free tours of the Stephen Hawking Centre and the public is invited to attend the lectures.

    Scrawled in felt-tip marker on the back of the door of a cubicle in the men’s washroom at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics:

    Why did the chicken cross the Mobius Strip?
    To get to the same side.

    In honour of his birthday, the last word this morning goes to Stephen Hawking:

    “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”

    You’ve been a great audience. Thank you, and have a great day.

    Heard offstage: “MacRae is a tough act to follow. Next time, I want to go first. Right after Yates.”
