Random Mutterings Watched CTVs docu-drama 'Plague City: SARS in Toronto' last night. Normally I don't pay much attention to made for tv movies, but 1) there is nothing on tv sunday nights, and 2) SARS and I go way back. Overall the movie was decent, nothing great, but it wasn't bad enough for me to make fun of (well there were a couple good cases of over-acting but not too serious). My beef is that they changed the names of the hospitals in the movie. Now I understand why they do this for most movies, but when you're basing it on actual events why not just call them the Scarborough Grace and North York General...none of this fictitious 'Toronto Memorial' and 'Norfolk General' crap. Things you don't want to hear the person cutting your hair say: "meh, close enough" "hmmmmmm......" "oh well, nothing is perfect" "oops" and boy is it great when you get to hear all of those in one sitting stupid London won the Memorial Cup with Guelph's goalie and top defenceman, and all their stupid overaged players, stupid, stupid, stupid.....man i forgot how much i can hate hockey sometimes ok I'm outta here, happy monday... not one but two games! |
