John Campea leaves The Movie Blog

As you might already know, for the past few years I have been a loyal reader of John Campea’s The Movie Blog. The site started as a small movie opinion and news blog, but through the creativity and effort of its contributors grew into a community with a steady podcast, video reviews, and enough content to keep anyone busy for weeks. John just announced through Twitter late last night that he... [Read more]

Crazy fire on my way home

On my way home I noticed some commotion at the bottom of my street… seems to be a fire? Half of the Montreal fire department seems to be there… very interesting. This isn’t the first fire on my street either… Hopefully everyone’s ok? More pictures from the scene: ... [Read more]

Sign Wars: The Phantom Sign

You might have seen my previous post about my addiction to taking pictures of neglected signage everywhere I go. Well, I have decided to make a series I will post on a regular basis whenever I get enough pictures that make up a solid set. I also keep the set updated on my Flickr Album It has been more that a month since my last post, here’s some of the new ones I have found along the way: ... [Read more]

Odd sympatico ad

I came across this odd banner for Sympatico Autos when browsing this morning. What always surprises me about these kinds of ads is how little self-awareness these companies must have. I mean, really? No one in MSN/Sympatico’s advertising team has the clarity of mind to notice the cliché they’re headed towards? Advertising is a reality of a consumer culture, we all know this, but I would...

Apps – The five I use most

Without much ado, here are the five iPhone apps I use most: Wordpress I must start with most obvious, as a blogger- the Wordpress App is a must. Not because I actually post many blogs with it (mostly because I use custom fields, images, etc.) but the Wordpress App does let me write whatever I want in a user friendly format, and offline as well. Mostly this saves me from having to do everything... [Read more]

Is SNL back?

Saturday Night Live has been through its ups and downs since it began in the 1970’s and in the past couple of years it seems to be mostly downs. It seems that there was a certain point a few years ago where SNL lost the spark that made it so great and became a very generic sketch show that had lost its relevancy. I think it was mostly due to the mass exodus of the show’s best cast members... [Read more]

Here’s what we’re missing on Smallville

Are you a fan of Superman, the Justice League or DC Comics in general? Well prepare to get optically abused. The CW has just released pictures of the upcoming Smallville ‘event’ called Smallville: Absolute Justice. The images include horribly campy renditions of some of DC’s more obscure heroes, including Hawkman, Doctor Fate and Stargirl posing awkwardly for the camera or in cheesy... [Read more]

Bowie in pop culture

As many of us are already aware, rock icon David Bowie is about as close as you can get to a living legend. In addition to his monumental impact on music, Bowie has also acted in several films, and has continued in the role of celebrity enough to make Warhol proud. However as a guy in my twenties, I can only speculate on his impact on past generations. What I can do is talk about Bowie’s impact... [Read more]

Do book stores rely too much on the web?

Ever been in a bookstore, browsing through the computer’s directory and notice they don’t have a single copy of the book you’re looking for? Maybe not even a single copy from the entire series? Believe it or not this has happened to me more times than I can count on both hands; on books generally considered mainstream and not at all rare or limited. More and more it seems like book...
