John Campea leaves The Movie Blog
Posted by Brendan on Monday, December 14, 2009 at 8:54 am
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 [...]
Crazy fire on my way home
Posted by Brendan on Sunday, December 13, 2009 at 8:47 pm
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:
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 [...]
Odd sympatico ad
Posted by Brendan on Friday, December 4, 2009 at 12:30 pm
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 [...]

Apps – The five I use most
Posted by Brendan on Monday, November 30, 2009 at 9:00 pm
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 [...]
Is SNL back?
Posted by Brendan on Saturday, November 28, 2009 at 12:57 pm
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 [...]
Here’s what we’re missing on Smallville
Posted by Brendan on Friday, November 27, 2009 at 10:48 pm
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 [...]
Bowie in pop culture
Posted by Brendan on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 4:23 pm
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 [...]
Do book stores rely too much on the web?
Posted by Brendan on Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 7:45 pm
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 [...]
