Contest: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus


The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Popped Culture contest No. 2: On Friday, Dec. 11 American Express is hosting a gala screening of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus in Toronto. The screening takes place two weeks before the film opens in Canadian theatres and will feature a Q&A session with director Terry Gilliam! And guess who is giving away two pairs of tickets? Me! That was obvious, wasn't it?

What: Gala screening of The Imaginarum of Dr. Parnassus
When: Friday, Dec. 11. Doors open at 6 p.m., screening starts at 7 p.m.
Where: Screening and after party will take place at The Carlu, 444 Yonge Street, Toronto

To win: First, go to www.americanexpress.ca/events and find the right phrase. Then email me (hint: it's in my profile) the phrase and either join my Facebook page, follow me on Twitter and/or vote for Popped Culture in the Canadian Blog Awards. I will enter all the correct entries into a draw on Wednesday night at 11 p.m. and let the winners know Thursday morning.

You have to be 18 or be accompanied by an adult to attend and I'm not flying anyone in so, you know, keep that in mind. No prize substitutions either.

Good luck! I can't wait to see this and a Q&A with Terry Gilliam too? Cool.

Contest — The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Time for Popped Culture's first ever contest! On Thursday, Nov. 19, American Express is hosting a gala of The Twilight Saga: New Moon at Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre. The screening takes place at 7 p.m., the day before the movie premiers, and will feature appearances by cast members. Coincidentally, I am giving away A PAIR OF TICKETS.

The winner gets to see the movie, sit in on a cast Q&A and attend an after-party where Band of Skulls (who are on the soundtrack) will perform.

To win: Go to americanexpress.ca/potential/newmoon and the first person to email me the invitation phrase wins the tickets. Oh yes, you have to be 18 or be accompanied by an adult to attend. I'm also not flying anyone in so, you know, keep that in mind. No prize substitutions either.

Full disclosure, I get to go too. Don't worry, you don't have to sit with me or anything. Even further disclosure, I haven't seen the first Twilight film nor read any of the books, but who am I to avoid a pop culture phenomenon? My previous interests in vampires have been, in order, The Count on Sesame Street, Count Chocula, Lestat, Angel. So there you go.
