The Broken Spirit Behind Superman
Superman rules the world again. The latest in a long line of movies based on the comic-book hero made an estimated $217 million worldwide last weekend. The character has brought in billions more over the years in various incarnations. Superman will never die. But today I think about Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Have you ever lost something that haunts you for the rest of your days? Something that other people grow weary of hearing you grieve for, but that you can't let go?

Cape Breton Drive-In celebrates 50th anniversary
A throwback to a different era, the Cape Breton Drive-In hasn't changed much since the day it showed its first movie on the big outdoor screen. 'It was July 10, 1975 when we opened,' said Lindsay McKinnon, the drive-in's new managing owner. The drive-in theatre – located along Grand Lake Road in Sydney, N.S. – recently marked its 50th anniversary. 'I think it's a testament to this community's love for drive-in theatres and the nostalgia that comes with that,' McKinnon said of the milestone. Over the years, the drive-in has managed to keep a lot of its classic charm, offering a different experience from streaming a movie at home or seeing one in a standard theatre. 'You don't have to worry about the other audience members on their cell phones or talking or kicking your seat, and if you're the kind of person who's doing those things you don't have to worry about anyone complaining,' said McKinnon with a laugh.

(CTV Atlantic / Ryan MacDonald) The past 50 years have included some challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and a few prolonged closures in the years leading up to it. However, MacKinnon says, in this day and age of video streaming, there appears to be a rejuvenated interest in the drive-in experience. 'I think there are somewhere in the vicinity of 50 drive-in theatres still in Canada, there are only two here in Nova Scotia,' McKinnon said. As for what's next at the Cape Breton Drive-in, McKinnon says plans include expanding their canteen menu. She also hopes to offer food delivery to vehicles in the not too distant future. McKinnon adds the cost for a snack and admission for a carload will remain a bit of a throwback, too. 'I mean, I'm not going to say we have 1975 pricing, but we definitely don't have 2025 pricing,' she said. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page

Hollywood's next biggest legends revealed – from Margot Robbie to Zendaya
TOM Holland, Margot Robbie and Zendaya are on the way to the top of the Hollywood hot spot - according to Brits. Barbie star Margot and her fellow actors are set to become the next huge Hollywood legends - movie goers have predicted. 8 8 8 8 Oppenheimer actress Florence Pugh and Willy Wonka star Timothee Chalamet came in fourth and fifth place respectively. Elvis Presley biopic star Austin Butler featured high in the list, followed by Sydney Sweeney and former Queen's Gambit star Anya-Taylor Joy. The research was commissioned by Compare the Market in a poll of 2,000 adults, which also revealed 51 per cent of Brits think the UK deserves an iconic film landmark - like the 'Hollywood' sign in LA. The price comparison app created a huge replica of the world-famous sign - in Hollywood, Worcestershire. A spokesperson said: "For ten years, we've been helping the nation beat the midweek slump and make saving simples with 2-for-1 cinema tickets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. 'And what better way to celebrate than by bringing a little slice of Hollywood to the UK's own Hollywood? 'The public's response, and even the message from Hollywood itself, shows how much people still love the magic of the movies.' Cinema nostalgia is on the rise with 51 per cent of 25-34 year olds saying recent cult movie sequels have been a hit. Around two thirds (68 per cent) of the same age group go to the cinema more now than ever. The research discovered that 48 per cent of Brits go on 'autopilot' during the week - with 55 per cent desperate for humpday entertainment. Hollywood's Pay Gap: Top Earners Revealed! More than four in 10 (44 per cent) rarely go out during the week, but 41 per cent are 'actively looking' for things to do. Steve Nissen, president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, added: 'It's not every day you see the Hollywood sign pop up halfway across the world - let alone in another place called Hollywood. 'We're thrilled to see our iconic sign reimagined in Worcestershire and proud to share a little piece of Hollywood with our friends in the UK.' Down-to-earth actress Margot recently admitted she loves traipsing round London looking for ghouls. The Aussie, 34, revealed she gets spooked at The London Dungeon — but is too old for her former nightclub haunts. Margot, who was at Glastonbury last month with husband Tom Ackerley, revealed she no longer goes to her favourite London club Infernos in Clapham, where she used to live. She said at the Pilton Palais cinema: 'I'm 34 and I don't think they'd let me in. "They would be like, 'No go away old lady'. "Our roommate has a 99-year ban.' 8 8 8
