Films! Films films films films. Sometimes it’s hard to get this column started, so we just sit in front of a blank word document and type the word "films" until it doesn’t make any sense to us any more. But by then, we’ve got started typing, at least, and so we continue.

Each week, Torontoist shows off the most interesting, creative, and cool submissions to our Torontoist Flickr Pool. We're especially partial to photos that show our city in a new light, highlight a recent event, and remind us why we live here. Join the Flickr pool and show us what you've got.

The View From Afar is a photo series that will look at what's happening in other cities for inspiration, lessons in what not to do to your city, and other tips for the urbane urbanist.

"Oh my God, my blow-up doll has been brutally murdered!" shrieked the young woman from the southeast corner of John and Richmond as she clutched her fake-blood-soaked inflatable companion. "My only friend, and someone brutally shot her! The horror! Why hasn't the police security camera done anything about it?!"

A lot happens in and around Toronto, but we can only write about so much in a week. Here's the best of the rest, in a new weekly feature we're calling Superfluist. Superfluist will appear every Friday night.

The old sales pavilion and welcome centre at the superfluouslyy-lettered Minto Skyy condo on Broadview went for a brief flight of fancyy this morning before settling into its new home at the opposite end of the construction site.

Each weekday morning, we pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

A group of airport taxi drivers were ejected from the Toronto council chambers yesterday after a dispute regarding the council's plan to ban taxis that are not registered in Toronto from picking up fares downtown.

Spring is in the air. Can you feel the love? Apparently while in town this past weekend for a speaking engagement at The Learning Annex Real Estate and Wealth Expo, The Donald also found time to take his message to the streets. Apparently the beef with Rosie is finished and The Donald has developed a new affinity for this star of The View. What a big softie! Find more here, and see some more pics after the fold.

Austinist gets arty with an interactive guide to SXSW, loved some local art galleries and a new art exhibit and lamented the possible loss of "Friday Night Lights" production to New Mexico.

We just got sent these photos from an anonymous reader, and we thought that they were too cool to pass up. They were taken late last night from the open and unfinished (read: windy and really, really scary) roof of One St. Thomas, a 32-floor ultra-ultra-luxury condo at St. Thomas and Charles Street West that's still very much under construction.

If the chatter surrounding recent results from speed skating, pairs figure skating or the entire history of hockey is to be believed, then a little adversity in the form of cold, hard outdoor ice just might be the secret ingredient in Olympic Glory. Possibly the best thing we can do for winter sport in this country is grab the nearest child we are legally permitted to guard and take places and head on down to our local outdoor rink for some good old fashioned, de-sissyfied skating.
