With a 3 1/2 to 4 hour trip, plus border crossings, there is no way I can make it.

I can handle a 4.5-hour trip each way for a good film... but can I get away to make the trip?

Hmmmmm... I saw Nausicaä at the Ottawa International Animation Festival a few years ago, so I don't need to see that on the big screen again.

I've never seen Pom Poko...

Toronto's a big city; they've got hotels...

... Man, I wish I had a job right now. At least then I might have the money for the trip.
