Hey, Airship fans!

Torontoist.com has dug into the archives and found a treat for you.

At daybreak on the morning of August 10, 1930, His Majesty's Airship R-100—the British airship that had arrived in Montreal from England on August 1—made a surprise visit over Toronto. She hadn't been expected until 9 a.m., but just before dawn the faint droning of motors announced her presence over the harbour. Milkmen stopped their carts mid-route, diners and staff emptied from restaurants, and night-watchmen all gazed skyward to marvel at the ghostly sight of the airship against the moonlit sky. Ship whistles greeted the airship and woke its passengers. Across the city, people in pyjamas rushed outdoors to witness the history-making event.

Tell Me! You feel it in your gut!

So, which of the summer's big blockbusters do you think will probably fall farthest off the mark? Which cinematic Icarus will fly too close to the sun and burn up on re-entry?

Writer's Block: Been There, Done That

I would pick the day I watched a double bill of Groundhog Day and that Tom Cruise lawyer film.

Just for fun.
