From land line services to GPS devices, the “Canada AM” Friday Panel–Richard, Jeff Hutcheson, Marcia MacMillan and author Kenny Bodanis–sound off on useless items bought in the past five to ten years.
From the “Canada AM” newsletter: “On today’s edition of the Friday Panel, Marcia, Jeff, Richard and special guest Daddy Blogger Kenny Bodanis talked about the useless items they’ve received over the past ten years. Our viewers also chimed in on Twitter with some good ones: banana clips, a margarita maker, breadmaker, VHS rewinder, deep fryer and my favourite, escargot dishes! Since it’s the beginning of the year, this weekend would be a good time to look around your home and purge it of those one of a kind items, appliances, knick knacks and gifts that you only used once last year. Afterall, it’s just taking up space … and it’s pretty much useless. – NewsFen”

Richard’s “Canada AM” interview with “Delivery Man” co-star Cobie Smulders.
“It’s a blown up version of something that happens in real life,” she says. “You had a relationship when you were younger and all of a sudden a woman contacts the father and, ‘Oh, by the way, you have a seven year old.’ Obviously there is room for comedy there but everyone wants him to step up and be the hero and watch him do that journey.”
“We were so lucky to have [original director] Ken Scott. He did it so well the first time that he was able to do it a second time and have those same sentiments in it and spoken in English.”
Launching November 1 in the HSBC Gallery at TIFF Bell Lightbox, TIFF’s first major original exhibition, David Cronenberg: Evolution, parallels David Cronenberg’s evolution as a filmmaker with his longstanding fascination with the possibilities and perils of human evolution itself. Curated by TIFF Director & CEO Piers Handling and Artistic Director Noah Cowan, and divided into three major sections that provide a loosely chronological overview of Cronenberg’s career, the exhibition traces the development of the director’s evolutionary themes across his filmography through more than sixty original artifacts, visionary designs, and rare and unseen footage.
