Did NOT realize the Toronto Public Library has six (6!) copies of Genghis Con in the system. Cross that life goal off the list. tpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2...

Mitch Marner, who I've never said a bad word about.

Here to see a movie for the first and last time.

The 30th anniversary of Bottle Rocket? Time to repost my @brightwalldarkroom.com essay. www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2016/03/30/g...

The makers of Industry must have had this scene in mind for the latest episode.

Ontario privatized recycling collection, and now there are problems? Really?

Matt Johnson likes two things: wearing track pants at all times and making #1 movies.

I don't necessarily expect LeBron to read the news every day, but "I've heard nothing but great things"? Buddy,,,,

Some days I just wonder about how Bobson Dugnutt is doing. I hope he's well.

Most mainstream political commentary these days

If you're in/from Toronto, you owe it to yourself to seek out Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. brieftake.com/nirvanna-the...

Maybe it's a "dumb" take on Wuthering Heights, but I can't say I didn't enjoy watching Emerald Fennell's take -- sorry if this offends! brieftake.com/wuthering-he...

What I love about using the Cineplex app is that it in no way is more convenient for buying movie tickets.

This is THE Toronto moment!

Gearing up for a new episode of The Pitt tonight

Sorry, I went to a Catholic high school in North York, Toronto. No one of note is making it out of there.

It feels lost to time now, but I'll never forget Bud Cort's line reading here. youtu.be/DOnZWuPKBwI?...

[MasterCard voice] The cost of human suffering? Priceless.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is AI Slop: The Movie. Get this junk outta here. My review: brieftake.com/good-luck-ha...

It's not not funny to be on an LRT vehicle as it coasts by the highway ramps of the DVP and huge parking lots in Scarborough (which, admittedly, may one day be re-developed).

Canada mentioned.

Has Bad Bunny's thing always been to wear shoulder pads?

Who was the TV exec who heard PJ Carlesimo's voice and said "I simply must get this man on television."

Fascinating tension at the heart of this. On the one hand, we can't have dumpsters every which way in the public realm, or garbage trucks taking 15+ min in the road to deal with garbage at one apartment. On the other: how do we build smaller/mid-sized buildings without resolving this?

Merry Crosstown Eve to everyone who celebrates!

Ossington bus diverting onto Shaw. Makes one wonder: why is Ossington between Dundas and Queen open to cars at all?

Hard to believe the Toronto Police Service would be involved in a massive and murderous corruption scandal like this.

Watching a Law & Order episode built around the Malice at the Palace, including a little recreation of the brawl. What a television program.

So what's going to happen if the City reintroduces higher visitor parking requirements (e.g. the older rates of say 0.06 to 0.1 spaces per unit)? Well, transportation consultants will get to bill their clients for parking studies to confirm what we already know (that there is too much parking).

Have to laugh that the answer to the question "why are Toronto tow truck companies murderously warring with each other?" is "oh, because the police are involved."

More important Raptors lore.

Chris Paul Raptors jersey gonna go SO hard.

Watching I Am Cuba (1964) and spending the whole second half of the film going "hell yeah" like I'm Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Out this week, it's Sirat, a pretentious movie that is also silly -- though it has a great score. My review: brieftake.com/sirat-review/

My @thestar.com column: The Eglinton Crosstown is finally opening this Sunday, but please, spare us the celebration. We don’t want a party — we want an apology, an explanation, and a reason to believe a bungled project like this won’t ever happen again. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

A simply incredible feat when one considers that the company makes zero products anyone actually wants. Bravo!

Oscar nominated co-writer of It Was Just An Accident has just been arrested in Iran. Statement by Jafar Panahi:

I've lived next to my neighbour for almost five years and found out today he has his own Wikipedia page.

And most of the major media did not take it as seriously as they should have because they were also often ridiculed by Gawker etc. An entire century thus far of reactionary politics from people getting owned online.
