That's a good idea - make the area movie/entertainment themed with statues of Great Canadian Actors/entertainers. Then again.... maybe that would be best for the Filmport area. Right now there isnt much there, but once the Portlands develops into a series of "communities", sculptures of movie actors/characters would be a good addition. OR, maybe even the area around Bell Lightbox. Hmmmm....
While on that, and very off topic from this thread, I have always thought that John Street between Front and Queen needs to be re-developed as a main artery in the Entertainment District (it already is, sort of) with better street-life. This is a pretty important street for entertainment as it has the CBC, Bell Lightbox, restaurants, ScotiaBank Theatre (I shudder typing that...) and connections to many of the city's clubs. I know that the Canadian Walk of Fame is to go into the park behind Metro Hall, but it should have been moved to John Street. I would have liked to see the sidewalks on both sides of John covered in Hall of Fame plaques, statues of important movie characters and scenes at each intersection. The empty parking lots should be developed into more restaurant/event space. The entire street could have a canopy over it, much like the Strip in Las Vegas, that has light shows/images displayed on it at night. This would be a GREAT entranceway to the Bell Lightbox during the film fest.
Back to the topic at hand..... TLS -
3D - that is HILLARIOUS.
