Tonight is the Toronto premiere of this film, which has only played one other time in Canada. It's also the premiere of the fresh new DCP that looks and sounds amazing, and has a sequence that had been previously lost and was un-subtitled in NA screenings www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/4...

If anyone wants another insight into what it's like being disabled... all of the "rejected" claims from my health insurance got approved on the 3rd or 4th time I resubmitted it. They are purposefully denying most stuff that comes through at this point 'cause how much they pay for (which isn't much)

I know it's not under $5, but I wanna give a special shoutout to Levant which have added a lunch menu of sandwiches that are all under $10... not quite coins but like... worth trying.

COINS, our guide to grab and go snacks in the West End for under $5 is returning in our next issue! Got any bites that fit this brief? Drop 'em here!

Do you think, 50 years from now, someone will come across a haunted sex doll?

Come to Paradise tonight and get your fancy copy of this new book from @willsloanesq.bsky.social Plus, there's drag and a whole ass movie too! And bingo. Wild stuff

For the real freaks!!!!! Join us for a GOOD b movie tomorrow

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

one of my all-time fave flicks is playing at Paradise tonight - BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS who is going?

if anyone in Toronto has lead on studio space (work/art) that's either solo or shared... please hmu It needs to be: - Ground Floor (or have BIG elevator) - Have parking (not street parking) - Accessible at all hours i can't stay beholden to the storage locker in my apartment building...

Tonight at @the519to.bsky.social join myself, the hottest drag king in town - Manny Dingo, and your favourite person/place/thing - KINGCHELLA, for a ~*free*~ screening of ONE OF THEM DAYS! Bring chairs or blankets, there will be drinks and snacks for purchase. It's gonna be a fun time!

Most of the critics writing about FIT FOR TV were not subjected to the culture of cruelty toward fat people affirmed and encouraged by THE BIGGEST LOSER. But I was. So I wrote about it. www.slashfilm.com/1945855/netf...

A gift to y'all from myself and @haveahornyday.bsky.social !

who cares what's playing in festival season when we still have the rest of august to get through and enjoy summer and other movies screening locally! Join me and Bleeding Edge and @weard.moe for the Toronto premiere screening of CASTRATION MOVIE PT. 1 on Aug 31

Showgirls tonight at Paradise Theatre is nearing selling out! Get your tickets now while you can, we've got a very special show lined up beforehand

To everyone who came out to BIJOU tonight, hope to see you at Paradise again on Friday for SHOWGIRLS 4K restoration, we've got some sultry striptease artists performing before the film

This is the FIRST sleaze factory this year that hasn't sold out in advance, so if you've been snoozing on getting tickets there are still some available to nab plus, no one's mentioned that there is gonna be a really fabulous pre-show performance from @kuyaatay.bsky.social !

I know i'm going HARD on the promo for this, but it takes BIG swings to be able to program films like this and i am truly grateful that the Paradise allows me to screen queer art and not censor it Sleaze Factory has been such a fun roller coaster of a series to work on...

TORONTO: God bless @watchwithweird.bsky.social for programming Wakefield Poole’s BIJOU at the Paradise on Saturday. One of the great films of the 1970s. Oh, by the way, it’s also gay porn! paradiseonbloor.com/movies/bijou/

This is also bizarre but artful explicit sex

the gay porno, Bijou, is being screened by the incredible @watchwithweird.bsky.social at the Paradise, btw, and it's the kind of thing you don't usually get to see screened, so if you're tolerant of graphic sex, consider attending!

It's truly a bizarre kaleidoscopic masterclass in erotic storytelling!

🇨🇦 TORONTO 🇨🇦 The hometown Toronto launch of my hit book ED WOOD: MADE IN HOLLYWOOD USA will take place Sept 12 at the Paradise. I am honoured to join the legendary @watchwithweird.bsky.social and @dragmetothemovies.bsky.social for a screening of GLEN OR GLENDA paradiseonbloor.com/movies/glen-...

went down yet another rabbit hole yesterday of lurking into what Toronto nightlife used to be like, and the days past of NUMEROUS adult cinemas as well as strip clubs and honestly just the entirety of that stretch of yonge south of bloor... i kinda miss when this city had character to it

Pre-order @willsloanesq.bsky.social 's book and then come to the Toronto book launch and listen to him yap w/ me about the weird and wonderful Ed Wood before a screening of the iconic GLEN OR GLENDA paradiseonbloor.com/purchase/211...

Some of the most demented and heroic film programming the City of Toronto has seen in a long time, thank you @watchwithweird.bsky.social paradiseonbloor.com/movies/bijou/

Grab a bag of popcorn and join me at the cinema

Also at the end of next month I've teamed up with Bleeding Edge to bring you @weard.moe 's CASTRATION MOVIE! paradiseonbloor.com/purchase/211...

We're just 2 weeks away from my screening of Wakefield Poole's BIJOU @ Paradise. Join me for this kaleidoscopic trip into gay erotica as part of SLEAZE FACTORY Plus, a short film from Poole before the flick, both courtesy of @muscledistribution.bsky.social paradiseonbloor.com/purchase/169...

The judge ruled that the immigration officer “failed to consider the conditions in the U.S. for trans and non-binary individuals when assessing the risk of being returned.”

truly, there is no city that is more spoiled for cinema goers and film lovers than Toronto. I've lived many places and we have NUMEROUS independent theatres (Paradise, Revue, Fox, Hot Docs, TIFF), smaller chains (Imagine), all the big theatres w/ nice formats PLUS...

Oh, baby! DETOUR at Fox for Important Cinema Club courtesy of @willsloanesq.bsky.social would be my pick for the night! RUN TO SEE THIS RIPPER! If you're SUPER skint tho, Paradise is offering AMERICAN GRAFFITI for a TOONIE. That's right - two bucks!

The list is intended to be fairly comprehensive, but excludes second-run releases and festival screenings. If you're looking for something more selective, @watchwithweird.bsky.social has a great list here: letterboxd.com/watchwithwei... #toRep

Double duty for @alyankovic.bsky.social in Toronto this week! He's in town tonight at Budweiser for a concert, and then Friday night we are screening UHF in glorious SMELL-O-VISION (yes, that's a real thing we made) w/ custom scratch n sniff cards at the Paradise Theatre - tinyurl.com/2p9umbkj

it's been a disgusting heatwave, so what better thing to do this weekend than to skip corporate pride and go hang in air conditioning w/ degenerate queers for a screening of PARTY MONSTER on Sunday! DM me if you need a discount code. Screening at 7pm at Paradise Theatre!

Musical icon Paul Williams is partnering with Sam Pressman to bring a musical adaptation of PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE to the stage.

If you have camera skills and wanted to come to tonight's screening... please DM or text me

TONIGHT at Paradise, babies, it's THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT and we have the Aussie drag icon Minhi Wang from Canada's Drag Race joining us to really get you in the spirit of down under doors at 630pm, show at 7!

frustrating when the crux of the ad, about her working on her second book, is about culture, language and connection. All tangible, analog things. And then to ask AI for vocal warm ups destroys a LOT of well earned credibility. I wish artists would stop selling their soul for this shit.

which of you weirdos sent me a cursed lafufu in the mail????? i'm cackling

i dont know if we deserve nathan fielder

cishet people being disrespectful to queer trans folks unless they can directly profit off them is nasty work

im feeling nice, so im gonna give you a sneak-peek of my screening slate for the summer! May 25 - Coffy June 13 - Priscilla QotD June 29 - Party Monster Double Bill (Feature+Shockumentary) July 11 - UHF (in smell-o-vision) Aug 2 - BIJOU (19+) Aug 8 - Showgirls (19+) Aug 31 - Sick of Myself + more

My latest for Gods & Monsters on @bloody-disgusting.com is all about the glorious madness that is SPIDER BABY. bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

weather may be miserable now but nothing can stop me from getting hyped for summer - i get to see my bestie from australia for the first time in 5 years, get to see my long-distance lover TWICE, and i'm getting a tramp stamp
