Who needs a $99,000 built-on-unicorn-tears custom bed in your hotel suite when you can squeeze into the same dumpy one with your brother and have your personal lumberjack mini-bar.
A roadie strategically placed fresh towels around the stage before Divine Fits played their sold-out show at Lee’s Palace last night, foreshadowing the sweaty mess that was about to follow.
Forget Kristen Stewart. Back in the day, Toronto’s own Mary Pickford was America’s first sweetheart, and this year she’s even making a comeback at TIFF — proving that you’re never too old, or too dead, for Hollywood.
As if you didn’t already know, TIFF is upon us (less than 24 hours and counting). When we’re not holed up in theatres watching movies all day, we definitely want to be out schmoozing and celebrity-gazing because, hey, it only happens once a year (and the Gosinator isn’t married yet). Below, our 2012 TIFF Party Primer.
When Apple launches a new product (like the new iPhone 5), we can expect a big hoopla. But, really, nothing beats holding a phone in front of a blank piece of paper. Simple, and to the point.
First blow dry bars, then bikini wax bars; surely ponytail bars are next
A little while back, we told you that if you aren’t following any Canadian comedians on Twitter, then you really should be. Steve Patrick Adams is one of those people. It’s not because he won Best Stand-Up Newcomer at this year’s Canadian Comedy Awards or that he likes to post pictures of his fat cat. It’s mostly because he’s, well, funny. And he’s on the rise. We chatted to Adams about dinosaurs, his cat Chub Chub, and a man with a peg leg.
One-man-shows have never been my cup of tea. That goes for one-woman-shows as well. Dialogue between two or more characters is such an essential part of live theatre that I find it glaring when it’s missing.
First impressions are important on the first day of school. In the ’60s, kids made sure to wear their best fedoras and striped shirts, and made sure their bicycles were looking super fly. Nowadays, we just call these people hipsters.
Though we reported about TIFF Bell Lightbox’s upcoming exhibit, “Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style,” back in April, TIFF recently announced some extra additions to the Bond bonanza, which kicks off Oct. 26, including three TIFF Cinematheque film programmes. In tribute to the suave spy, we present our favourite not-so-debonair deaths.
Maybe this guy is rightfully upset over his missing mascot, but if this creepy looking doll went missing, we’d be glad to see him go. (Although that ice cream head is kinda scary.)
