Denman Cinema

It's 9pm on Sept 30/2012. As I write this, the Denman Cinema is showing it's last film. The West End theater is closing it's doors permanently.
The last film is Back to the Future, Part III.
Part I and II played earlier in the day.
A few other flicks played this afternoon.

I went this today to get a few parting photos. I went to the Lebowski fest last night...for some unknown reason, I didn't bring a camera to that shindig.

Today the owner was incredibly sad, close to tears when I thanked him for the times he gave all of us in the neighborhood. In the video, they are packing up...tossing out the excess and unwanted.

I wish them well.

There has to be some sort of silver lining for people like these who try so hard to do the right thing.

The rumour is that this beautiful theater is being replaced with a DollarRama.

Seriously.

More Aerial Fire Fighting....Big Props and Big Jets

Last weeks post that featured the CL-215 and 415 water bombers set to a rockin' sound track was the most popular. Hell, I watched it half a dozen times my self.

These flicks are not as rock and roll...but are pretty good airplane porn none the less.

Old Dairyland Truck in Lillooet BC

Is this possibly an old International?..any opinions? There were no decals,plates or insignia on it. It had International hub caps that looked suspiciously forced on.
