Gate House goes coed. After a series of puerile, childish, vaguely misogynistic stunts, the infamous all-male U of T residence has been come down upon by that stuffy old dean. Of note is Gate House's claim to be an inspiration for the movie Animal House, just like every other "look at us we're so wild" frat house on every college campus ever, despite the fact that Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis went to McMaster.......

We don’t think we’ve ever lead with the same film two weeks in a row, but there’s a first time for everything. Did you get a chance to see Blade Runner: The Final Cut this week? We did. It was amazing. We really can’t think of a film we’d rather lead with (and there’s some good stuff this week). If you didn’t get a chance to see it, consider yourself massively lucky, because it’s still......

Tut tut tut. We’re all very disappointed in you, John Krasinski, for your decision to star in License to Wed. Sure, you’ve been working so hard to build up your hipster cred—interviewing the Shins, playing on stage with Ben Gibbard, but I’m afraid we might have to revoke your hipster privileges. The Sun’s Kevin Williamson claims of the film, “you can at least approximate the experience of sitting through this alleged romantic comedy at home......

A report released yesterday by the Conference Board of Canada raised an alarm that Canada is in the doldrums when it comes to innovation. But after discovering this poster (at right) on the bulletin board at the Valu Pet Store at College and Augusta, the suggestion our society is failing to innovate seems mistaken. This event—The Hairless Pet Picnic—sends a clear signal that as a city, we are indeed innovating and, by so doing, teetering......

The city is full of high society soirées such as the Brazilian Ball, the Power Ball, and Fashion Cares. Which is fine for the jet set, but the rest-of-us set also likes to get dolled up once in a while. Which is why Gallery TPW is inviting everybody to the D-List Ball this Saturday at 56 Ossington Avenue. The fund raiser will be hosted by Keith Cole and features musical entertainments by Karl Lagerfeld's......

When people first hear the words "Professional Pillow Fight League," they often conjure images of jello-wrestling and hair pulling. However, if you've ever been to a Pillow Fight League event, you know that the fights are real, they're violent, and they're bloody entertaining. The Pillow Fight League, also known as the PFL, has been performing around Toronto since last year. They gained international attention in January when they fought for two nights in New York......

Perhaps you can best describe it as a scavenger hunt with a lot of creative freedom. Within a 24 hour period, amateur and professional photographers alike were given a roll of 35mm film with only 12 frames to capture their interpretations of 12 secret themes for the 4th Toronto Photography Marathon. Having already taken place on February 17, final shots submitted by participants will be displayed at The Gladstone (1214 Queen St. West) for your......

It's the dawn of election day, so Torontoist assumes that our readers are doing their proper diligence with some last-minute cramming on who's running for school trustee in their respective areas. The Toronto District School Board website isn't going to be of any help, however: it's been hacked by a group of Brazilian script kiddies who go by the name Un-Root Crew. Un-Root Crew, aside from not having girlfriends and using the usual circa-2001......

Hoooo boy! Looks like somebody fed us way too much turkey this weekend. We've just come out of our tryptophan-induced comas and realized we lost an entire day. Not only do we have to deal with our tardiness, but also figure out what to do with that permanent dent in the couch. If you can manage to roll out of the house after stuffing your face all weekend, you can burn off some of......

He pretty much invented the mash up phenomenon with his Hollertronix partner Low Budget. His live sets bride gaps from Brazilian Baile Funk to almost forgotten 80's classics to Southern Crunk. Dance floors swerve, careen and generaly go buck wild when he's in control of the decks. He's known as Diplo to most and Wes to his mom Ms. Pentz. He's performing at The Mod Club tonight for $15 and he's gonna make it......

The Sorauren Park Festival is happening this Saturday. The party starts at noon with Maracatu Nunca Antes marching from Fern Avenue Public School. Because what’s a community party without a Brazilian marching band, really? There’ll be craft vendors, activities and tons of music, including the intriguingly named Parkdale All Stars. The Park is located at Sorauren and Wabash.......

In the year that the popularity of the ringtone might have outweighed the popularity of the single, Toronto-I-S-T comes up with the top ten songs that mattered in 2005. 1. Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - "Welcome to Jamrock" Called "the reggae song of the decade" by the New York Times, "Welcome to Jamrock" is the cross-over hit that shouldn't be: Unlike his contemporaries, Marley the youngest didn't have to employ an RnB hook from Beyonce......

Resfest is rolling it into town this weekend with a packed slate of videos, animation, shorts, digital experiments and guest lecturers. They'll be premiering Just for Kicks, a doc about footwear fetishism, and Ginga, Fernando Meireilles' doc about Brazilian footballers. And on Saturday, they'll present Fear and Anxiety: An Evening with Charlie White, a talk by the acclaimed artist at 8pm. On that same night Resfest also screens Cinema Electronica at 10pm, a mixed......
