Canadians have been vacationing in Cuba for decades. And now, as Trump starves that nation, Canadians have the moral obligation to come to Cuba's need.

Hate this

Lloyd Axworthy, who wrote this opinion piece, ends with: "In a world where preventive wars multiply and great powers act first and explain later, middle powers like Canada will someday wish they had defended the UN Charter when they still could."

Also: the US has no moral or legal authority to assassinate leaders of other countries or kill their people. It’s really, really simple.

Please explain how @mark-carney.bsky.social's support for an illegal and unnecessary US war of choice against Iran is working to shape a more peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world for Canadians.

If you’re a fan of Excalibur run don’t walk to get yourself a copy of the new Arrow UHD. It’s heads and shoulders above previous home video releases. Just gorgeous.

Incredible short film Catherine O’Hara and Andrea Martin made for Late Night with David Letterman, so dark and nervy, filmed in Toronto too youtu.be/ZwLTCayIeSw

So sad to hear this. Loved Catherine O'Hara since her SCTV days so long ago. Absolute Canadian icon, practically a part of our DNA, and one of the greatest comedy actors of all time. She made every part unforgettable. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsKa...

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Can confirm this joke appeared at my high school in small town Ontario the day of the disaster. Deep-rooted psychological structures at work here.

Update

Well over a foot and we’re only about halfway done. At least it’s pretty!

Not super hopeful about Nolan's Odyssey. But we still have this incredible 1968 int'l TV version, for me one of the greatest TV series of all time. Perfect cast, FX by Mario Bava & Carlo Rambaldi and a thoughtful adaptation. This French version has English subtitles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjN_...

Bekim Fehmiu and Irene Papas will always be my Odysseus and Penelope.

Turquoise is visual cilantro so these movies are a nonstarter for me

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai. Truly one of the greatest of all time. Incredible in Harakiri, The Face of Another and Ran, among so many others.

Once upon a time movie posters told stories and set the tone, creating a kind of visual overture. Struzan was huge part of the imaginative landscape of the 80s and 90s. RIP.

This one hurts. Such a unique presence. One of those actors you just felt like you knew. People saying she was foundational to 70s American cinema are 100% right. RIP Diane

Impossible to pick a favourite Redford performance or even directing project. But I've randomly pictured him running around NYC in those jeans and tweed herring bone jacket declaring "I just read books" at least once a week for decades now.

Annual solo wargaming survey! And hey, if you enjoy Wars of Marcus Aurelius of Stilicho: Last of the Romans why not give them a mention?

Nashville and Killer of Sheep are the two greatest films ever made about the United States.

WeTransfer is no longer useable to transfer any work files in my biz (film & tv). And I sure as heck won’t be sending personal files this way. Anybody know any safe alternatives?

The Elementals starts as a droll southern gothic horror-comedy but builds to something genuinely terrifying. Some may bump on the slow burn pacing & some aspects haven’t aged well, but that ending is an all-timer. Squint hard enough & you might see shades of Beetlejuice (co-written by McDowell).

These 90s stock photos have better lighting, composition and art direction than many TV shows and movies today.

Legacy media not bothering to do the absolute minimum to slow its death spiral.

Good morning. Today is National Indie Bookstore Day. Instead of shopping at Amazon, B&N, etc give stores like Vortex Books & Comics, Park Books, Midtown Scholar, Butcher Cabin, Bucket of Blood, Poisoned Pen, Cupboard Maker, Mysterious Galaxy, etc your business. Most have online stores, as well!

MEDIA HOARDERS/HOBBYIST ARCHIVISTS, MOBILIZE

I'm obsessed with them oh my god

A movie that takes place where you're from 🎥

An all time favourite.

🦉 Happy Twin Peaks Day to all that celebrate 🦉

Amazon definitely can’t afford to pay humans to do work like this
