Happy Thanksgiving to readers south of the 49th parallel, and may the day be filled with plenty of delicious coma-inducing turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie.<\/p>\nHappy Thanksgiving to readers south of the 49th parallel, and may the day be filled with plenty of delicious coma-inducing turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie.<\/p>\n
Today also marks the debut of Black Friday madness, in which everything you\u2019ve been eyeballing for months might \u2013 MIGHT \u2013 be radically reduced in a clever ploy to start knocking down over-packed inventories. It\u2019s a brilliant concept that inevitably went global \u2013 starting in the U.S., it had to become the norm in Canada and Europe \u2013 and I\u2019ve blown past Xmas budgets many times in Black Friday binges.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m actually behaving this year \u2013 time and resources going into submitting my video store doc\u00a0BSV 1172<\/a><\/strong> into film festivals in USD isn\u2019t cheap \u2013 and after spurts of activity, I should have the first set of clips ready for purchase from a nascent stock footage & loops setup<\/a> that offers material culled and adapted from the visual elements of my visual podcasts<\/a> and other projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n There\u2019s two major components left to finalize before I start dropping frame grabs, sample wallpaper, and trailer links via Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a> for the first of what\u2019ll be a bi-weekly offering of material.<\/p>\n Once that endeavour\u2019s done, I\u2019m playing catch-up to several Blu-ray sets that have piled up while I stole time to get the film and the footage projects done. I moved way back in August, and I\u2019ve found most of the Arrow Video sets \u2013 one key set is still missing, but it\u2019s somewhere<\/em> \u2013 and plan to do a decent amount of binge reviewing, plus sneak in a few more podcasts before the year\u2019s done.<\/p>\n The fact we\u2019re on 2017\u2019s doorstep is good \u2013 2016 was a horrible year \u2013 and things have to be even incrementally better. \u2018Nuff said.<\/p>\n Posted is a review of the short, dry, and often profane Celtic Soul<\/a> <\/strong>(2016) that starts its run today at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema<\/a>. This evening\u2019s screening features a Q&A with actor Jay Baruchel and Fox sports commentator Eoin O\u2019Callaghan, who travelled buddy-buddy from Montreal to Ireland and Scotland in search of family roots, beer, soccer, and sports idols.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mark R. Hasan<\/strong>, Editor Quick thoughts on upcoming, year-end projects + a review of Jay Baruchel’s family roots & soccer trip Celtic Soul (2016), which begins its run at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14798,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[4802,4801,2562,2563,4800],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/CelticSoul_featured.jpg","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8nuyW-3QF","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14797"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14797"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14797\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14806,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14797\/revisions\/14806"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
