Briefly resurfacing to say I have moved over yonder, new pastures, fresh horizons, open spaces, etc. Account here remains technically active, but I won't be reading or posting.

@adamnvillani Damn right.

_In Visible Silence_ is just as good as its predecessor, _Who’s Afraid of the Art of Noise?_

brad bradford spent untold amounts of money to learn he’s the least liked guy in toronto

TORONTO: When you're voting today, remember that only progressive mayoral candidate Ana Bailão can stop status-quo right-wing city councillor Ana Bailão

Today, we’re launching a crowdfunding campaign for The Collected Doug Wright Volume 2—the companion book to 2009’s much-loved Volume 1! Designed and edited by Seth! Please help fund this tribute to one of Canada’s most beloved cartoonists! Full info at crowdfundr.com/dougwrightv2

@GeoffPevere I just can't watch them like that, but that's my own hang-up. Between Mondo Canuck, TVO's Film International and your time at the Toronto Star, you definitely had an influence on my own cinephilia - so thanks!

@CaptFuzz Yes, that’s the case with some DVDs. Eagle eye.

John Garfield. Body and Soul. Directed by Robert Rossen. 1947. #HollywoodBlacklist #TheMethod #FilmNoir

It’s time. Toronto needs more talk, less action. Let’s do this #Toronto #TOPoli

Hear me out @cbc.

Thread about why you should *NOT* be duped by Brad Bradford's faux-progressive speech come mayoral election time. Take it from someone in his ward, HE IS NOT IT.

Thought this was a great idea, so I ripped it off. Here's 50 films I saw for the first time on @TCMUnderground: letterboxd.com/captfuzz/list/…

The effusive "Rocket From A Bottle" by XTC youtube.com/watch?v=mDtVWy…

@bentclouds Great choice! I don't think I'd ever heard Knox's original, only knew a cover by Frente.

So many great ones to choose from, but I’ll go with Chris Knox’s “Not Given Lightly,” which is such a beautiful, heart-on-sleeve declaration of love that it often chokes me up when I hear it. youtu.be/NaSV0ymL8jk

This kind of entitlement is so on brand for @johntory, He resigned. He took no questions. He kept the keys. Change the locks, Toronto.

So let me get this straight: The City of Toronto was ok with the Toronto Police using $337,000 of our tax dollars to create a podcast barely anyone listened to...but wasn't ok using $400,000 to fund a 24/7 warming centre to prevent hypothermia & death? Where are our priorities?

JFC, so this is how he's playing it, pretending to be a man of principle then pretending he had to be persuaded to stay. What a sleazebag. Toronto, you're being played. I'm not sure why I expected any better of him.

I don’t even want him as my councillor. I certainly don’t want him as my mayor.

This is a wild thing to brag about in a province that saw water contamination deaths a generation ago, and thousands of seniors die living in poorly-inspected, for-profit squalor homes in the last 2-3 years. But that’s @fordnation and his MPPs, callous and corrupt at all times.

@Kza I haven't read them myself, but are you aware of the books where famed costume designer Edith Head solves mysteries in 1930s Hollywood? Design For Dying by Renee Patrick is the first one in the series.
