Contrary to the many unfounded press reports recently, this sale will in no way be rushed.

Beginning today, you will start to see Cineplex Entertainment appearing in newspaper listings and press releases. Over the coming weeks and months, changes will appear on our company website, our theatre screens, popcorn bags and more.

Only a small number of sound local and foreign financial institutions are being invited to participate in this sale process.

It may not stop it, but it will shine the light and alert the press and the public to some of these things far earlier than now.

I just signed to do my next book with Ecco Press, a new primer or encyclopedia. This will be my take on what classic Italian cooking is.

All that lives will press palms together in prayerful adoration of those who refuse to slaughter and savor meat.
