Still thinking about how special Women Talking was. Sarah Polley's adaptation of Miriam Toews' novel was like a smartly written stage play interpreted and brought to life by superb actors.

Hey we just dropped a new Record Store Day Podcast, featuring Brian Aubert from Silversun Pickups. I like it. Here: https://t.co/Yx6joDYfL5 And in two weeks I Zoom it all home with an All-Toronto episode featuring Chris Murphy (Sloan), and local indie rock legend Ian Blurton.

@derbridgedaniel I saw this earlier and I keep thinking it would be really smart if Joni decided to retire that old cover art and re-issue Don Juan with just this simple Norman Seeff photograph of her without the blackface. https://t.co/wG0horaj91

RIP Jean-Luc Godard. When I was a younger man, our social group used to go to Toronto’s Bloor Cinema to see the work of Godard, Truffaut and their influential filmmaker peers. Then, later we’d go to a bar or all-night coffee shop and talk about them. https://t.co/VTi0vNje8d

@inthefade I imagine there were a ton of Easter eggs in it because I noticed one, Ted was reading Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind on the plane.

Happy birthday to the amazing and boundlessly creative artist, Tom Wilson. Seen with me here in 2022 when we both had films at HotDocs, Toronto. His autobiographical documentary Beautiful Scars (based on his heart-rending memoir of the same name) was a highlight of the festival. https://t.co/Ewlgf6kinw

Hilary Mantel has passed away. Just two weeks ago at our farmer's market here in the East Bay, my wife and I spotted the actor Mark Rylance (of all people) and when Liza walked up to him, the one role she politely praised him for (of the many great roles he's had) was Wolf Hall.

@stevie_chick I regularly celebrate this Fish out of Yes's fine standalone album. Hold Out Your Hand is hook city, like Sting fronting, um Yes (this is actually a compliment). And when it goes into And You By My Side, it's his own Graham Nash's Our House. These are compliments.
