Lately, I keep thinking about the late 90s music I loved in middle school and early high school. Music that I thought was legitimately important and beautiful and timeless. I maybe wasn't always right. I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange Youtube journey through some of my favourite mistakes. Let's start things off with a little- ( Read more... )

Barbara Walters is currently interviewing Ellen Page inside my TV. It's a really awkward interview. Like, Barbara's making her sing and stuff, and I don't think it was false modesty when Ellen Page said she didn't want to. Anyway, I am so entirely fucking sick of the movie Juno by this point. And I think it's an absolute travesty that it's ( Read more... )

Know how sometimes it's different with celebrities?  When you're not a fan, because you know them?  I could watch every single episode of Friends (gosh, what an appalling thought!) and still feel no connection, no kinship with Jennifer Anniston.  This is not how I feel about Steve Carell.

So, I don't normally do this, but I think you all should go check out this interview I wrote that's on Torontoist right now.  It's totally cool!  It's with trey anthony and Ngozi Paul, who are the co-creators/exectuve producers/stars of the new Global show Da Kink in My Hair.  I had a really interesting conversation with them and it took me about ( Read more... )

A pre-disaster Britney duet with a post-disaster MJ?  Is this how she caught the career self-assassination disease?  And isn't it interesting that, despite being a complete psychopath, MJ can still both sing and dance fantastically, while Spears has entirely forgotten the concept of performance?  People say that she ( Read more... )

OK, here goes: in all my 22 years of being an artsy Torontonian, I've never seen a single film at TIFF.  Shocking, I know.  But that's all about to change.  I spent... let's just say some time (perhaps it would be embarrassing to reveal how much) looking through the film schedules, and have purchased tickets to two films.  On Sunday afternoon, I'll ( Read more... )
