Dufferin Mall is the stuff of Toronto legends, fromCinnabon weddingstowild encounters with locals.

But some patrons of thecity's most misunderstood mallhave been on a borderline sarcastic campaign to bring a movie theatre to the shopping centre — not that there's ever been a shortage of action at Dufferin Mall.

Acomedic video that went viral in 2021calling for a movie theatre at Dufferin Mall has resurfaced over two years later.

Among the tweets bringing the video back into the spotlight, one posted by Toronto Star City Hall reporter Alyshah Hasham, has been generating conversation since Wednesday evening.

Hasham's caption, asking (sarcastically, of course) how a movie theatre at Dufferin Mall was not an election issue during the recent mayoral race, is just one among a wave of rekindled interest in the viral video by local comedianMichael Kolberg.

They make good points. Particularly the points about opening a movie theatre, at Dufferin Mall

Kolberg himself triggered the renewed tweetstorm over his video, calling on newly-signed Toronto Maple Leaf Max Domi to use his NHL clout to bring the area its much-needed silver screens and buttered popcorn.

Sure, there are other theatres in the not-too-distant vicinity, but the area indeed lacks a multiplex playing mainstream blockbusters.

While a dirty duff multiplex would be sweet, the Revue fills a great niche in between the others.

Duff Mall patrons and cinephiles may have cooled off in their demands for a movie theatre since 2021, but the comedic calls for a place to catch flicks have exploded in the last day.

The calls for a theatre didn't pan out last time around, coming at a time when people weren't even permitted to attend mass gatherings like movie screenings.

But, who knows? Maybe the movie gods will take the unserious pleas a little more seriously this time around.
