Today is a bittersweet day for myself. Today is the release of the Trailer Park Boys 2nd feature film "Countdown to Liquor Day". Let's introduce the Trailer Park Boys to those of you not familiar with them.
"Trailer Park Boys" is a Canadian television show seen on the Showcase Network. The show focuses on 3 guys, Ricky, Bubbles and Julian, living in Sunnyvale Trailer Park living a life of crime, drugs and liquor. They are known for their feuds with the Trailer Park Supervisor, Mr. Lahey and his assistant Randy. The show has been through 7 seasons on television and most of them end with the boys going to jail.
The show is a "mockumentary", which is a fake documentary. They are actors pretending to be in an actual documentary. The cameras follow the boys along through their everyday lives.
Why is this bittersweet for myself? Ever since Grade 8, when I first viewed this show, I have become hooked. I walk around reciting Trailer Park Boys quotes more than I should. And after today, there will be no more. After this movie, the Trailer Park Boys will officially retire.
No more barbecue stealing.
No more bottle throwing.
No more gun fights.
That's it.
They will not be making any more new episodes/specials/movies. Hopefully this leads to a spin-off or two but until then, we'll have to sit and wait.
I've never been known to cry at movies, but on this occasion, the tears may flow.

The preview made me laugh out loud. And how can they get away with so many F-sharps in the trailer? Must be a Canadian content thing...
