Been hugely enjoying the live coverage put out by the Globe and Mail team for the Jays games this weeked. This update from @grahamisador.bsky.social made me laugh:
Missing the Lepage opening
Gotta make the spooky snooki show.
You get a nostalgia bump and a Can Con Black Mirror with a potential for international appeal. Easy win.
If I were running Crave, I'd bring back Are You Afraid of the Dark as a horror anthology where each episode is written and directed by an upcoming Canadian director in their own style.
scariest thing ever is the are you afraid of the dark episode where a canadian kid gets cursed by a canadian mall store owner and gets stuck in a canadian pinball machine

My book Live to See the Day is off to the printer and available for preorder. I’d love it if you bought a copy or spread the word. It took me around the world — and took seven years to write! Which is fitting for a book about things that might never happen. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/645965...
Live to See the Day by Mark Medley | Penguin Random House Canada
An imaginative study of human nature, Live to See the Day is a globe-trotting exploration of what drives certain people to pursue a dream beyond all logic, reason, or reward.

We have a whole Elbows Up arts package in tomorrow's paper, online today.
I talked to film, TV and theatre producers about seeking out new international partnerships vs continuing to engage with Americans and their under-attack cultural institutions. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

Elbows Up, Thumbs Down: Canada has, in a backward way, been gifted by the White House a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not just support homegrown culture, but to strengthen and revitalize it for decades to come. And we’re *blowing* it. My long-read essay for this Saturday's @theglobeandmail.com:
Elbows up, thumbs down: Why we’re blowing a generational moment for Canadian culture
We’re checking the origins of our groceries, but where’s the love for the sector that truly defines who we are?

went from not really caring to fuck this guy pretty quickly with the "culturally specific" line.

This is a comedy with no laughs in it. This is a movie that thinks America is made up of Santa Monica,West Hollywood, and Manhattan. And this is a movie that kills everything good it touches, so its inclusion of Johnny Cash’s “Ghost Riders in the Sky” and the Violent Femmes’ “Add It Up” is abhorrent

Entourage is exactly as awful as you think it is, part one.
