THE FIRST TRUE MULTI-ACTIVITY VEHICLE. Just because you have a family now doesn’t mean you have to give up your daily blast of zoom-zoom. Because the all-new Mazda5 is here. It’s practical, yet sized for manoeuvrability. It’s affordable, yet loaded with what you want. And, like the wildly successful Mazda3, it was created to remind you why you fell in love with the road in the first place. Mazda5 is a cleverly designed Multi-Activity Vehicle – meaning it combines six-passenger seating with versatile fold-flat cargo capability, along with the safety of available dual front side air bags and dual side air curtains for all three rows of seats. And when it comes to on-road performance, you can bet it’s pure Mazda. So take the wheel of the new Mazda5 and get ready for some major grins...both from the child in the backseat, and the one that still lives in you. 2006 MAZDA5 FROM $19,995 MSRP* GT model shown. *Starting MSRP available on the new 2006 Mazda5 GS. Freight and P.D.E. of $1,310 is not included. License, insurance, registration, taxes, and other charges extra. Dealer may sell for less. See your dealer for details. Doner Canada Inc.

    Matthew Brannon matthew brannon As the literary form of the new bourgeoisie, the biography is a sign of escape, or, to be more precise, of evasion. In order not to expose themselves through insights that question the very existence of the bourgeoisie, writers of biographies remain, as if up against a wall, at the threshold to which they have been pushed by world events. - SIGFRIED KRACAUER, The Biography as an Art Form of the New Bourgeoisie, 1930 in The Mass Ornament: Weimar Essays, Oxford University Press, 2002 Call yourself an actor? You’re not even a bad actor. You can’t act at all, you fucking stupid hopeless sniveling little cunt-faced cunty fucking shit-faced arse-hole… - LAURENCE OLIVIER to Laurence Havery from Robert Stephen’s Knight Errant: Memoirs of a Vagabond Actor, Hodder and Stoughton, 1995 In show business, it’s folly to talk about what the future holds. Things change so fast. Today’s project so easily becomes tomorrow’s disappointment… The world of the film star is an obstacle race against time. The pitfalls and wrong turnings you can make are devastating. Often I fear for the sanity of some of my friends… The dice are loaded against you. There’s so much bitchery around, you really have to fight hard to survive. Everybody is against you… you have to fight for… success, sell your soul for it even. And when one finally achieved success, it was resented. Not by the great stars like Frank Sinatra, but by the little, frustrated people. They’re the ones to look out for, because brother, they’re gunning for you.

Thomas Webb (Callum Turner), the son of a publisher and his artistic wife, has just graduated from college and is trying to find his place in the world. Moving from his parents’ Upper West Side apartment to the Lower East Side, he befriends his neighbor W.F. (Jeff Bridges), a shambling alcoholic writer who dispenses worldly wisdom alongside healthy shots of whiskey. Thomas’ world begins to shift when he discovers that his long-married father (Pierce Brosnan) is having an affair with a seductive younger woman (Kate Beckinsale). Determined to break up the relationship, Thomas ends up sleeping with his father’s mistress, launching a chain of events that will change everything he thinks he knows about himself and his family. The Only Living Boy in New York stars Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water, Crazy Heart), Kate Beckinsale (Love & Friendship, Underworld), Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies), Cynthia Nixon (“Sex and the City,” A Quiet Passion), Callum Turner (Assassin’s Creed, Tramps) and Kiersey Clemons (Justice League, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising).
