How many threaters did they put in there? I haven't been to as many movies the last few years so it would be good to check out. Too bad that revamp killed the last Arby's in Winnipeg. We can't have nice things. (or even mediocre things)

They have 6 in there and all are quite nice.

Thinking of slipping out one these nights and shutting my brain off and watching Transformers there

I miss Arby's...

Who is Spider-Canada from the new 'Spider-Verse' movie?

Only one of the many Spider-people in the new "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" movie is carrying a hockey stick and wearing a Canadian national team sweater. Here's how the character came to be.

This week it's AWA STARCAGE, April 21st, 1985, a show that is largely lost to people's memories. The set up features some great matches from a March 28th card at the Winnipeg Arena and a certain Curt Hennig match where he almost loses his head and the fans decide it's a good idea to pick a fight with the Road Warriors!

Alien and Aliens are two of my all-time favourite films of any genre. Recently news has emerged that Disney is dipping back into that franchise's well to try milking it for more money ...

I'm not a fan of what Disney did with Star Wars, so I am pretty pessimistic about this. However, from this video, I am slightly encouraged to hear it will have a "distinct storyline" not linked to that trash Prometheus and to a lesser extent, Covenant (YMMV but I absolutely hated these films, especially Prometheus -- only reason I didn't walk out of the theatre was because I paid $20 for the ticket and I'm a true Winnipegger). Hearing that a TV series is planned has me worried that they're just going to milk this franchise until it's truly dead.

I guess we'll see ... but nothing will ever be able to match the original two and we will always have those, at least, no matter what Disney does.

It's sad that there was really only one good Predator (the original -- also one of my all-time faves). Predators with Adrien Brody was mediocre (I guess on par with Predator II). "The Predator" I never watched but just reading a plot summary it sounds so outrageously awful I couldn't bring myself to attempt it.

Chimp Empire (Netflix) is really good (4 episodes)

I thought Prey was pretty good and that was a Disney product.

It's the set up to WrestleMania II and eventually SNME VI. An instant classic between Steamboat and Bret Hart, managers stepping in the ring, Mean Gene making some moves and a Snake is on the loose. Celebrities are everywhere, including the elusive "Herb" of Burger King fame. Part II covering the actual broadcast will be released next week.

I also enjoyed Prey. But Disney did pretty much destroy SW movies. The series’ have been mostly enjoyable though.

Saw the new Transformers flick over the weekend. Yeesh...I mean I know you gotta check your brain at the door for these things but boy, it's a stretch. The new theatre at KP is pretty nice though. Recliners are comfy...

WHERE IS THE COWL??? Still pretty cool. However having first discovered Wolverine and the X-Men in 1985, I wish they had used the '80s brown and orange costume. Which he is wearing again in the current comics :-D Of course this is a nod to Cyclops' "would you prefer yellow spandex" joke in the first X-Men movie, I'm sure there will be some sort of dialogue about it in this.

Yah think I'm going to wait until it's streaming. You are right about the theatre, though. Very nice!

I agree.

The blue and yellow doesn't make sense for sneaking up on targets.

The brown and tan costume has always been my favorite.

Really none of the costumes make sense.

I grew up in the 80s with the Brown and tan costume too, but always preferred the yellow and blue.
