We finally saw Cinderella Man last night with some free movie passes we've had for ages. It was better than I expected. We mostly wanted to see it because it was filmed here and we hung around several of the sets last summer (as chronicled in this entry). Anyway, we easily recognized Queen St. E, the Distillery, the Carlu (the ballroom above College Park), the Royal York, Maple Leaf Gardens, Morningside Park, Richmond St., and a dock scene that was possibly down near the Yonge St. slip. In other words, in no way were we fooled into thinking it was NY/NJ.

Marshie was very sweet last night. He knew that the theatre (Canada Square at Yonge & Eg) was one I used to frequent with an exasperating romantic interest exactly 10 years ago, and also knew I had not been back since. After the movie, when we were trying to figure out where to go for dinner, he asked which restaurant held the worst memories for me, so we could replace them with new, good memories. I had to admit that it was North 44, so northwards we trooped, and dined among suits and cocktail dresses in our jeans and t-shirts.

Marshie = nice.
