Van Notes: Sunday Night in Lotusland

*Sure, we're still some years off from the 2010 Olympics, but I'm sure the Olympic organizers will be very interested in a screening of Steven Spielberg's new film "Munich". View the trailer now available online at Movies Online. (Via the Movie Blog)

*Having little to do with Vancouver, tonight's live debate on The West Wing did mention cheap prescription drugs from Canada. Over at NBC.com Santos is walking away as the debate winner with 70% support over Vinick. TV Squad disagrees. We report, you decide, but both fake campaign websites and candidates are more interesting than the Vancouver mayor candidates. The branded American Express spots were completely lame.

*Ultra cool dude and kick ass blogger Tony Pierce spent 24 crazy hours in Vancouver this weekend and lived to tell about it. I'm not exactly sure what the attraction of Mathrew Good was, but there are photos. (via Vanmega)

*The last time I was in London I wondered why they, literally, have the greatest cabs in the entire world and everyone else doesn't. Sometimes you get into a Vancouver taxi and there is no legroom whatsoever. So why aren't we doing something this?

*Is anyone else embarassed that our city's top 20 albums list is topped by Rod Stewart? It doesn't get much better after that either.

*A local movie with a local name. "Desolation Sound" - one of the greatest places in B.C. is now an exciting indie thriller starring Jennifer Beals and Ed Begley Jr. playing at theatres in Vancouver. It appeared at the VIFF, and is now playing in three cities in Canada. Although it was nominated for 12 Leos, the reviews aren't exactly very warm. (more from IMBD and The Georgia Straight)
