Went there for lunch. TVs were wayyyy too loud—I’m talking movie theatre loud. We had to ask to have it turned down so we didn’t have to yell at each other. The nachos were horrible (no cheese, barely any veggies, mostly dry chips) and the server (who is apparantly the manager/owner) was a complete tool. No “Hi, how are you,” didn’t come back to see how we were doing (there were only two other tables there) and was completely grumpy, didn’t smile or say thank you when we paid our bills. WTF? How are you still in business? —Ex-Customer

The only noticeable difference between a sports bar and prison is that more people can count on getting laid at the end of the night – in prison.
HAHAHAHA, Ivanovitch, you slay me!
Summit soon?
.
OB, if you get a chance check out a pub in Windsor, on Water St, was there yesterday for lunch …. AWSOME NACHOS !
Saaaa-WEEEET! Kitteh.
I’m off all next week and as the Jarheads say “Semper Gumby” – Always flexible.
OB, first off you went to a sports bar, where people go to watch sports, not chit chat, so of course the tv’s are loud, second you went to a sports bar for food, don’t expect it to be world class, people just care if their beer is cold! Third YOU WENT TO A FUCKING SPORTS BAR!!
The last sports bar I went to, my waitress/bartender was also getting drunk, so they forgot to ring in about $40 worth of drinks. It was great.
Thief! ^^^

Windsor *shudder*
BUT, if this is the one I’m thinkin’ it is, I agree 100%.
I’ll get back to you, Ivan and co. re: summit.
Anyone wishing to summit, get at me via FB (if you’re on it) or email at prettykittylady@gmail.com. 😀
Spitfire by any chance? Fuck, I love the grub and the beer, well worth the drive.
Maybe the volume was loud so you could hear the Canadian Anthem being played as we collect that huge haul of medals (SARCASM) – “own the podium” what a limp dick mantra.
Arthur I thought we weren’t suppose to name places….
We were there working & stopped for lunch, I had the spinach salad & 3 of us shared the Nacho’s , everything we had was really good & the place was hoppin’.
They had a nice selection on tap…but I don’t drink alcohol when working…. so It’ll have to be some other time.
It’s OK to name names, if you’re saying something good.
Nobody’s goin ta’ sue your ass for posting a positive comment.
More – here’s a cryptic clue – Ivan likes this I’m sure

What’s that wanker’s problem. It would be flipping awesome to get buzzed by a Spit.
When I was up in K-town last summer a warbird enthusiast out of Quebec with a restored MkXVI had dropped in at the municipal airport for the day. Me Old Dad and I went out to watch him take off. Just as he was about to fire up the Merlin a goddamned Land & Forests helicopter came in and landed next to him, drowning out that magnificent roar. He took off and did one low level pass. Not quite as low as in this clip but still pretty damned impressive.
Made my 50th Birthday, it did.
SERVES YOU RIGHT THEN, BY GOING TO A DOUCHEBAG INFESTED PLACE LIKE THAT.
There’s a Christmas movie being shot in Windsor, maybe that’s why you were in Windsor More. Gerrish street is full of Christmas trees and garland. Even have security guards watching over the decorations at night.
For all the time I have lived in the Windsor area, I’ve only been to the Spitfire Arms once. Wasn’t bad. Windsor has thirteen restaurants. Nobody must cook their own food in that town.
I BELIEVE IT IS PART OF THE SAME MOVIE BEING DONE JUST DOWN FROM ME IN FAIRVIEW.
Speaking of not naming names – please don’t mention Christmas the natives, mormons, muslims, atheists and any other wanker will protest it.
Blow Me ….. No they are 2 different films.
There are actually 4 being shot in Nova Scotia right now, not counting animation, commercial & documenatries !
The NS film industry is booming.
THERE YOU HAVE IT THEN. I’M SURPRISED THE ACTRA PEOPLE HAVEN’T CONTACTED ME YET, THEY USUALLY DO, WHEN LOOKING FOR EXTRAS. HAD A FEW GIGS AWHILE BACK, BUT NOTHING LATELY. STILL WAITING FOR THE HALO TO COME OUT. THEY DID THAT OVER A YEAR AGO IN SPRYTOWN, AND HAD A PART IN THAT TOO. ONE VERY GOOD SCENE OF ME, GETTING READY TO THROW A PUNCH AT THE GIRL WHO MADE THE WHOLE STORY UP IN THE MOVIE.
THE STUNT MASTER GUY HAD A BROKEN ARM, I HAD TO LAUGH AT THAT. BUT AS THEY SAY, THAT’S SHOW BUSINESS. IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO WATCH A, A SCARLET LETTER. I’M TO THE RIGHT OF DEMI MOORE, HOLDING A BIG OLD PIKE THING. LONG HAIR, BEARD AND ALL. WAS PERFECT AS A SOLDIER IN THAT. GUY BY NAME OF VAN TRESE IN THE OTHER GUARD, AND HIS DAUGHTER, WAS THE KID DEMI MOORE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BORN THERE.COOL MOVIE, LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.
Blow me….I worked as the 2nd Rigging grip on Scarlett.
Actra doesn’t cast actors. That is done by the Production(s), usually by the director for leads &/or actors are hired through their agents.
Background performers are usually hired through a local Casting Company, they also get in through friends & family who are working on the picture.
As a long time IATSE member….IATSE doesn’t hire anyone (except office staff) we get hired by Production , usually through the PM (Production Manager) or Line Producer.
DGC, is the same thing, Production hires a 1st AD, they pick their 2nd & 3rds & the Tad’s as well in conjunction with Production for PA’s
What a fucking idiot you are. As soon as you walked in you must have noticed the volume of the TV’s, why would you bother to stay if a quiet lunch and conversation was what you were after?

Actra doesn’t hire the actors, Genius.
For everyone who isn’t an idiot, Actra hired me as an extra in the Hobo movie. I get a close up in the hospital waiting room scene.
