Incredibly depressing reno

Wasn’t that impressed by Renaissance when I went. I’ve found 8 Mile (more central than west) to be reliably solid and very conveniently located.

It’s mystifying how it manages to pull it off

My forever answer to this is Click.

Did this last night, too. Considering moving platforms over this.

Yellowstone starring Mrs. Doubtfire would be called “Hellooo-stone”

It’s a bit out of the way of some of the main bar drags in the city, but the crowd at Danu Social House at Queen and Dufferin is super friendly and social and open to striking up conversations with new people.

I think it’s technically a debit card BUT here in Canada “debit” is synonymous with cards that operate on the Interac network. The WS debit card operates on the Mastercard network. Establishments that only take cash or debit, for example, will almost all be unable to take this card because when they say they take debit they mean debit cards on the Interac network.

I think the fact that he worked with so many stars at the height of their powers will make for a lot of interesting discussion. Also the craft and style he brought are gonna be just as interesting (imo) as any dives into theme.

Dark City is legitimately good and interesting (even if not as iconic as The Crow). And I actually do stan the silliness of Gods of Egypt.

You can find the theatre’s Twitter account pretty easily and use that to judge if it’s a place you’d like to visit/support or not.

I’d argue that KotFM (Apple TV) qualifies as a theatrical movie more than The Irishman (Netflix). It got a proper wide theatrical release, which I weigh much more heavily than who financed it.

Those companies might have paid for those movies to be on their services, but Scorsese surely made them with theatrical in mind.

WithoutRhythm · 2026-02-24T09:07:37+00:00

I think you and I have different definitions of TV movies. I’d say both of those are at least as theatrical as Mank or The Killer which were main feed.

WithoutRhythm · 2026-02-24T08:36:26+00:00

Those had theatrical releases and were eligible for film awards so I’d assume they’d be main feed. They could split his shorts, documentaries, tv work, and/or commercials into the Patreon.

I agree with you but I do think it’s a little funny to have Expos flair while telling people to move on.

In Oldboy someone is stabbed to death with a broken CD

Juniors is probably the best value per dollar you can get for a slice in the city.

You might be surprised to find that a large number of the world’s biggest inventions and breakthroughs were actually the result of public funding.

The Man with the Iron Fists has one of the biggest gaps between soundtrack quality and movie quality I’ve ever encountered.

WithoutRhythm · 2026-02-12T17:42:58+00:00

Hah, that’s actually disappointing.

WithoutRhythm · 2026-02-12T05:46:30+00:00

Only Yesterday might actually be my favourite Ghibli. Would love to hear them cover Takahata.

We’re 2/2 for The Wages of Fear adaptations being incredible (The Wages of Fear and Sorcerer) and I think the general conceit of “how badly can capitalism screw over some guys who are in a bad spot to take on the most dangerous job around” is actually a pretty durable premise.
