Hi all Captain Marvel hits the screens worldwide today, and the industry is hoping for good things from her, to make up for what has been a largely unspectacular year so far at the box office. They're hoping for it to beat at least USD 139 million (if not 150) in the States, which would mean that it will single-handedly earn more in a weekend than all the other films did together on any weekend this year. The remainder of the local lineup is very niche, no one is going to try and compete head-on with Captain Marvel. First up is a local very-adult film Red Room, about sexual abuse and the sex trade, which is really mostly unexplored territory for the local industry and the market the film is aimed at, so it will be interesting to see what audiences think. At the Nouveaus and similar, we have an off-beat crime drama, White Boy Rick, with Matthew McConaughey again in the off-beat roles he seems to enjoy lately. Bollywood rolls out a remake of a Spanish film, the detective thriller Badla. On the previews side there are isolated previews on Sunday for the upcoming kiddies animated film Wonder Park. See the Previews page and remember to book.

That’s not going to help,” she said. “Sure, it does,” he said. “It’s the only way I can see the numbers." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m a dog trainer. Before I met with a new client, I had her fill in a questionnaire. One question asked, “Why did you choose this breed?” My client responded, “I often ask myself this very same question.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zookeepers put up a 10-foot fence. Didn’t matter ... he was out the next morning, hopping about. So a 20-foot fence was put up. Again, he got out. When the fence was 40 feet high, a camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, “How high do you think they’ll go?” The kangaroo said, “A thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My granddaughter loves my Chihuahua puppy so much, she asked, “When you die, can I have Romeo?” “Of course,” I said. She was thrilled. “Oh, I can’t wait!” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My collection of vintage kitchen utensils includes one whose intended purpose was always a mystery. It looks like a cross between a metal slotted spoon and a spatula, so I use it as both. When not in use, it is prominently displayed in a decorative ceramic utensil caddy in my kitchen. The mystery of the spoon/spatula was recently solved when I found one in its original packaging at a rummage sale. It’s a poop-scoop. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wandering inside a pet store, I stopped in front of a birdcage to admire a parakeet. We watched each other for a few minutes before it asked, “Can’t you talk?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “When your children are teenagers, it’s important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If a company’s most valuable resource is its people, how come the employees aren’t locked up, but the toilet paper is in a reinforced steel box with a lock, bolted to the stall?
