A thorough accounting of Marty Supreme here: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr...

There are many top 10 films of 2025 lists, but this one is mine. brieftake.com/daniel-reyno...

Merry Marty Supreme Christmas! brieftake.com/marty-suprem...

Eating too many cookies and watching the Ents destroy Isengard. That's Christmas.

A sweet piece here from @corbinsmith.bsky.social about a special team (for various reasons): the 99-00 Trail Blazers. I was rooting for them at the time! www.portlandmercury.com/the-trail-bl...

The new Anaconda film is hardly essential, but I had a good time! My review: brieftake.com/anaconda-rev...

The flop sweat coming off that Avengers: Doomsday teaser, my lord.

What if we did this in Toronto? What would your "congestion pricing zone" borders be?

Happy (early) Festivus from Little Portugal!

They've got a CGI Chris Evans now -- what will they think of next?

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

"You fucked up, Don."

I'd say Lowell Bergman is spinning in his grave, but he's actually still alive.

Hearing reports of the return of Isildur's Bane.

How do we stop this from happening: by trying to block all market developments everywhere or by reconsidering the majority of the city's land that is blocked from developing into apartments?

Paul Pope's THB Vol. 1 on sale, but not yet in the public library system...

Using free Avast antivirus software and it's annoying to the point where I think I'd just prefer having computer viruses.

We did it! 20 km of new bike lanes including Rathburn, Trethewey, and Kingston. The approval “sends notice that the City of Toronto is not just going to sit around and twiddle its thumbs while Bill 60 is law.” www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

It is now easier to imagine the end of Avengers: Doomsday than the end of capitalism.

The unseen hand was thwarted by other forces in regard to a new traffic signal to be installed by a developer at Yonge/Pleasant Blvd. We carry on.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is 10 years old and I think I can still stand by this piece. samepageteam.com/2015/12/23/f...

Maybe the real Anaconda (2025) film is the friends we made along the way (complimentary).

"The potential to have things seized will send a message that you can't ride on the sidewalk," Burnside said.

Useful to share this post just to try and get more eyes on it.

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile, in the left turn lane, as an LRT vehicle goes by, and you may ask yourself, well: how did I get here?

So now that it's built, the questions to ask are: - how do we rework the signals via TS/TSO input? - how does the TTC get comfortable with the idea of removing slow zones?

Heat at 30. It could be argued that Michael Mann has made better movies (e.g. someone would put The Insider as his best), but to me it is THE movie, the one that synthesizes not just everything he has in his heart and mind, but everything the crime film as a concept could ever possibly be.

Going to easily coast out to the east end today. But first, let's read the Toronto Star and take a big sip of coffee...

Watching the latest CBS News clip

Seeing The Batman (second time) -- one friend got too panicked and left during the trailers, there was some sort of medical emergency (still do not know what was going on there, really bizarre), and then the fire alarm went off before the third act.

Will never forget being in a working group meeting for a development proposal near Glencairn/Marlee in which Glencairn Station was referred to by a resident as a "boutique station."

Phew. A cool space almost made it work in Toronto.

Watched Norma Rae (1979) for the first time last night and started thinking about some Hollywood Canon films of that time that just really work for me. This would be one, The Verdict (1982) would be another. Unrealistic but also idealistic, and emotionally moving in a really satisfying way.

I avoid asking of a film "who is this for?" but I did have to wonder that while watching the tedious Dust Bunny. My review: brieftake.com/dust-bunny-r...

Not a Political Genius or anything, but this seems bad!

Congrats to all the wet coughers on transit this morning who just woke up from their 5-year coma.

Happy (early) Festivus from Little Portugal!

Cheers to everyone discovering north Etobicoke this week.

A Marty Supreme-style movie but it's about competitive Smash Bros.
