I would if we could afford to live in North York. I dream of the day I can move back.

I suppose it’s a form of nostalgia. I mean, we grew up in our respective suburbs— and all in all it was a good life.

The movie doesn’t quite know how to end, but it was awesome and different on so many levels, I totally loved it.

There’s also a Fat Boys track on 1984 about breaking into pizza shops with shotguns and getting sent upstate.

Tamil people are so damn awesome… I wish everyone had at least one Tamil person in their life. I’m serious..
I need to make a “ you need more Tamil in your life” t-shirt… or something more witty and send it to Rob Ford. Man, I hate that guy so much…

Great, great movie. One of my favorites from last year, right from the opening titles.

1985 is the first time I’ve heard the word “adroit” in rap.

No one really cares what Tamils think.

Russell Smith is such a genital hygiene product. You’re right, he assumes it’s a) about women and b) about a breakup. Which is like assuming The Godfather is about robots, and then attacking it for failing to capture the robot experience.
There’s also this machismo to his writing, hidden behind a torrent of braggadocious progressivism: OF COURSE Russell Smith wouldn’t think twice about going anywhere alone – how dare you insinuate such a thing? “Are men – who generally don’t think twice about any of these things – really so much stronger than women?” As in, anyone who is not used to being alone is WEAK, unlike (real) men, such as Mr. Smith.

The natural beauty of the place is really something. Every part of it that I’ve seen is stunning.
The human element is another story.

And shockingly, most of the comments are in agreement with my take on the article. Where are all the racists and bigots?

Yeah, Shima said as much as well. Because I stopped reading the stupid-ass Globe and Mail I miss stuff like this.
I thought the article was interesting in that he seems to assume it’s about her life after breaking up with a man, but I didn’t get that sense at all. Most of the article seems to be making assumptions about her motives that really don’t strike me as being there. I saw the video as equally applicable to both women and men. Russell Smith seems to think women only understand themselves in relation to men. (Oh Snap?! Did I just make a sweeping generalization? I think I did.)
I don’t miss reading the Globe and Mail at all. It sucks there isn’t a paper I do enjoy reading.
