Seriously, who cares about Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt or George Clooney or Ben Affleck or whoever? Jerry Seinfeld––one of the greatest comedians, one of the greatest television actors, and owner of 47 Porsches––is coming to Toronto on Wednesday. He'll be at the Manulife Centre (55 Bloor Street West) at 9:45 a.m. to promote Bee Movie, the new animated movie that he directs and stars in. According to IMDB, the plot summary is thus: "Barry......

Festival fever is sweeping the city—after all, it’s that time of year. But, perhaps incredibly, there are people for whom Brad Pitt sightings and red carpet galas just aren’t worth the Ben Mulroney-sized hype. What, for example, is the ardent audiophile to do in this landscape of visual media tyranny? Well, the good folks over at the Music Gallery have the answer. Starting tonight, the second-ever X Avant music festival gets underway with a headline......

Though Brad Pitt might be sitting this one out, the Toronto After Dark Film Festival just unveiled the first seven of fourteen feature premieres for their critically acclaimed horror/fantasy fest. Now entering its second year, the current lineup includes (wait for it) David Arquette's horror film debut as writer/director, The Tripper (starring Paul Reubens, Jason Mewes, Lukas Haas, etc). As if that wasn't a sufficient enough reason to grab tickets, other flicks include the......

Chances are if you are a pervert, an intellectual, or a writer, then you are very familiar with the works of Chuck Palahniuk. The author of "Invisible Monsters", "Choke", and the cult classic "Fight Club" will be in town tonight to sign copies of his new book, "Rant: The Oral History of Buster Casey." Palahniuk has earned a reputation as being an eccentric, a nihilist, and a genius. Playboy has refused to publish some of......

There’s something strangely amusing about the fact that as we write this the “Film Festival” episode of South Park is playing on TV, something amusing but not actually meaningful. We’ve had yet another quiet night in (it’s now that we realize that the reason most publications have people who cover the parties and people who cover the films is that one person just can’t do both) but we do know as usual there were several......

Ok, so the city is in the grip of full-blown festival mania. Red carpets, Gala screenings, and celebrity sightings are all great, but so are poetry readings, right? Right? Anyone??? Tonight at 8pm, head north to Zemra Lounge – 778 St. Clair W. – for this month’s installment of the Diamond Cherry reading series. Stephen Humphries and former director of the Art Bar, Allan Briesmster (The Other Seasons), will be reading. It’s free, and you......

Back To School* Cheat Sheet: Thursday, September 21st @ The Tranzac (292 Brunswick Ave.) Doors at 9pm ▪ $5 cover ▪ 19+** Featuring: Dollarama ▪ Idiots! The Ghost is Dancing ▪ DJ Wes Allen Summer is all but done. The sun's gone into hiding. Sure, the Film Festival is going strong, but when Brad Pitt leaves, what's left? Evenings of studying, or, worse, working, reminiscing about how much you miss studying? Another long, depressing......

We're only just back from today's TIFFG press conference at Nathan Phillips Square, where (finally) all the films of the festival were announced, and, of course, all the stars who will be attending with their films. We're currently pouring over the press releases to give you a nice round up of what has been announced (stay tuned!) so we'll leave you right now with this nice picture of what to expect from the festival,......

First off, two thoughts. One. Directly before writing this someone called us to let Torontoist know it was ‘National Break-Up Day’. We declined to break up largely because we hypothesised that it was a holiday invented because they’ve just released The Break-Up, the new film featuring a woman who Brad Pitt didn’t impregnate for whatever reason, and a man who looks like he never sleeps (that joke is stolen from Family Guy, but come on,......

Although nothing to do with Toronto, or anything that happens in it, Torontoist thought it important to note that Brad Pitt and the Welsh three-piece McLusky have split up. Pitt said he would remain "committed and caring friends," but will still be having phone sex with Angelina Jolie. McLusky's last visit to Toronto in the summer will now be McLusky's last visit to Toronto ever. As for "phone sex," Torontoist is curious why anyone would......
