<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><item><title>The end of FilmCan.com</title><description>I get my weekly movie listings from http://ottawa.film-can.com.&amp;nbsp;&#13;
Today when I visited the site I discovered they're closing their&#13;
virtual doors.&lt;br&gt;&#13;
&lt;br&gt;&#13;
From http://www.film-can.com/so_long.html:&lt;br&gt;&#13;
&lt;br&gt;&#13;
&lt;font style="font-style: italic;" face="arial, helvetica" size="2"&gt;We'll get straight to the point, we're closing the site.&#13;
It's been 10 years since we started this website (see the history below), &#13;
and it's been a labour of love. We were about 6 months too late for the &#13;
"internet boom", and have struggled to find a business model that would &#13;
work without plaguing you (our fan base) with annoying pop-up ads.&#13;
Unfortunately the number of months where we ran in the &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="RED"&gt;RED&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&#13;
far out numbered the months when we were in the &lt;b&gt;BLACK&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#13;
&lt;br&gt;&#13;
Bummer.&lt;br&gt;&#13;
