FESTIVAL: A two-day tribute to cult film The Big Lebowski is going down this weekend. LollapaDUDEza kicks off tonight with a screening of the film at Rancho Relaxo, and a Lebowski-themed costume contest. Following the screening, there will be a Lebowski trivia competition, as well as karaoke. Your ticket also gets you a free drink at the bar! If you can't make it out this evening, LollapaDUDEza has booked the Bathurst Bowlerama for three hours of (what else?) bowling tomorrow, from 4–7 p.m. After that, there will be a tribute night back over at the Rancho where local bands will be covering CCR songs and other Big Lebowski soundtrack gems. Rancho Relaxo (300 College Street), 9 p.m., $15 (or $25 for a two-day pass, which includes admission to bowling).

Toronto's extensive work on the silver screen reveals that, while we have the chameleonic ability to look like anywhere from New York City to Moscow, the disguise doesn't always hold up to scrutiny. Reel Toronto revels in digging up and displaying the films that attempt to mask, hide, or—in rare cases—proudly display our city.

Howard Moscoe's big mouth strikes again. According to the Star this time his target was Frances Nunziata. When the councillor complained about bus service in her ward the TTC chair quipped ""Councillor, I leave walking the streets to you." Nunziata felt that the remarks painted her as a prostitute. Moscoe later apologized. Moscoe seems to be a big hit with the women of council, earlier this year he insulted both Jane Pitfield and Karen Stintz when he organized a tongue-in-cheek office poll asking "How far will Lady Jane go?"
