On another note, a new Canadian documentary called Hugh Hefner – Playboy, Activist and Rebel, directed by Canadian Brigitte Berman, opens up this Friday in Vancouver, based on the early life of Hugh Hefner. I think of him as a womanizer – but did he break new ground for women and the way we view sex in society? Decide for yourself when this film opens.

A Canada Screens premiere of the film runs this Thursday – it may be too late to get tickets, but you can try the site and also at the door if they’re releasing them then.
If you’re able to see this film, please post comments!
