All the action is in a snow-globe, yes. Then the camera pans back and the viewer sees it's being held in a man's hand. It falls, and as the door opens and a woman's figure is silhouetted in the doorway, we hear the word 'Rosebud.'

My son was about 10 (so this is 10 years ago) when he wanted to watch Psycho on TCM. He was already a horror fan; I'd been reading him classic ghost stories for years (and if you think classic ghost stories, as in anything written before WW II, is all revenants seeking forgiveness, check out M.R. James's 'Lost Hearts'…

Some people can tell the difference. I'm a Canuck who lived in Britain for five years and worked retail, and it was amazing the number of Brits who, as soon as I started talking, said 'Oh, you're Canadian' as a statement, not a query.

I was kind of ho-hum on the idea of the first Fraser Mummy film, but when I saw it I loved it immediately. Sure, it follows the Raiders of the Lost Ark template pretty closely, but Fraser and Weisz have enormous chemistry, the supporting characters are good, it's great to see a strong female lead who doesn't have to…

What, audio isn't good enough? What is this, the 21st century or something?

Ours vomit in stairwells, hallways, rooms - you name it.

Our two cats talk to us all the time, and it's easy to understand what they're saying, which is usually one of the following:

My mother-in-law was a Land Girl in Britain during WW II, and talked about what that was like (bloody hard work). She lived near Birmingham, and told about how she was there one day shopping for a gift for a friend, when the air raid sirens started sounding, and someone told her to get into a shelter. Instead, Mum…

I have the soundtrack on vinyl from 1981. Any bonus points for that?

I think I remember reading that Boothe was in the mix to play Swearengen, and then Ian McShane got the role, so Boothe ended up playing Tolliver and David Milch kept the character in the show for as long as he did out of loyalty to Boothe, because otherwise Cy would have been gone rather than hanging in for all three…

From what I know of the woman who'll be calling me, I doubt she's ever lived, or worked as a journalist, in a small town; and I also suspect she will have little time for any argument that things are different here.

I'm the sole reporter/editor/photographer/headline writer/cutline writer for a small weekly newspaper in the interior of British Columbia. Oh, and I also do all the design and layout. It's 12 - pages each week, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a lot of editorial space to fill.

This week (or so) in very small town journalism: the village six miles up the road from us had flooding on the night of May 4. Sometime around 3.30 a.m.on Friday, the chief of the village's volunteer fire department was out checking water levels and was presumably swept away and drowned; his idling truck was spotted…

Yes, both summers we made it to Cape Breton and the highlands. I loved the landscape, and the visits to the fortress at St. Louisbourg. I was last there in 1989, and would love to go back again.

I visited PEI in the summers of 1975 and 1976, when my family lived in Ottawa and spent camping holidays in the Maritimes. During the first visit, when I was 12, we visited Green Gables house, and my parents bought me all seven books in the series, which I read over and over. I was kind of an Anne, in that I was a…

As a Canadian I knew all about Nanaimo bars (I've even been to Nanaimo!), but when my British-born husband moved here with me in 1997 they were unknown to him. It wasn't until five or six years ago, at the opening night of the local art show, that he came up to me with a plate of goodies, which included a Nanaimo bar.

They make more money in the States than they could here.

You could also have had a president who actually reads books.

I suspect that description of the film will be the best thing I read on the Internet today. The only thing missing is random capitalisation of some words, which you see a lot in 18th century literature.

I can't wait until my copy of this issue of Entertainment Weekly turns up here in Canada in three weeks.
