We stay in close touch with Tommy Wiseau, the, um, creative force behind The Room (next showing: Feb 27).

Since we started our regular Participaction screenings of the film several months ago, audiences have grown and grown. Inexplicably, Ottawa wants more The Room! So, when Tommy offered us a couple of cases of The Room bobbleheads, we had to say, “Spoon!”

Uh, I mean, we had to say, “yes.”

The bobblheads arrived today, and they’re going on sale at the Mayfair asap.

He speaks! He nods! He’s made in China! He’s a better actor than the real Tommy Wiseau!

(See him in action here: The Room Bobblehead.)

So next time you come to the Mayfair, bring some extra cash, because starting today, for only $25, you can bring the star of The Room back to your room!

Our print of The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring arrived yesterday, and surprise, surprise, it’s the special extended edition!

We’d expected the regular theatrical version – that’s what we were told was available – but we got this instead. Not that we’re complaining! It just means an extra 30 minutes of Tolkien-tastic entertainment to share with you, the most discerning film fans in Ottawa.
