Oh @Scrawler2:disqus , I was just about to summon you to this thread. Brave cannot have its good name besmirched!

My parents love Magic City, so I've been meaning to try it. They also unironically enjoyed Boss though, so maybe they're just in the pocket of Big Starz. 

I just sang "fuck" as a descending string of staccato notes.

Gillian Anderson splints her time between the US and England, and so she's developed the dreaded "transatlantic accent".

I ran into Gordon Korman and his family at a farming museum.

This is a well-argued point, and it comes up a lot with "subtle" acting performances too. Cinema can be many things, and there are a lot of critics who fear bombast, or see it as inherently silly. It's the flip side of the dreaded "This movie is boring" argument.

I'm inclined to like everything in here that's not a prison rape joke.

Did you a have a freaky sex dream about Dave after, too?

Wow. Maybe it's because I have a really shitty copy of this movie, but I had no idea it came out in the late 80s. I would have guessed 82 at the latest.

I think he's softening a little, too. He's come to love this wacky bunch of miscreants and hipster scum!

My dad was profoundly moved by Tree of Life. He told me that it was the closest representation of his childhood he'd ever seen on film (besides the strained relationship with his father). I think people sometimes get hung up on the "creation of the cosmos" and "Sean Penn wandering on a beach…of memories", there is a…

Sounds like an amazing feature! I can't wait for the write-up on Wild at Heart.

Jay Baruchel is awesome. Well, I hated The Trotsky, but he still gets ambition points for that.

Something I've always found profoundly irritating is the assumption that bubblegum pop, or Top 40 music, is much easier to write. If anything, the tight parameters make craftsmanship more difficult.

Aw. My dad lives on the other side of Canada. Wish I could make him a nice dinner.

I got a blowjob in a public bathroom stall. It was exciting but I couldn't help thinking about how totally unsanitary it was.

My local pub has been selling 7 dollar pints of Sawdust City's The Princess Wears Girl Pants Belgian Golden Ale lately. It's 9%, so 7 dollar pints are actually a great deal for Toronto.

Saw Star Trek Into Darkness the other day, found it rather delightful (if a little long).

I got incredibly drunk last night (Jameson pregaming + 9% beers on special at a pub + 2.00 pints at another bar), and made some terrible decisions. So, uh, hooray!
