We finally got him.
LeBron James put up eight points in the Lakers 123-120 win over the Raptors.
It's the first time since 2007 he hasn't reached 10 points in a regular season game.

Marty Supreme Review - Brief Take
With the same energy of director Josh Safdie's previous work, and a stellar performance from Timothée Chalamet, Marty Supreme reaches rarified air.

"The chair of this committee frequently says that in Ontario, we zone for buildings, not for people. But when we have a report that says adding new buildings will create complete communities and we couldn't possibly do that in Rosedale, I wonder if that's true."

Watching an episode of King of Kensington with Eugene Levy as an ex-con trying to get a halfway house built in the market. Air date: Nov. 13, 1975.

Exciting but also a confusing choice. The movie needs a young Hanna and McCauley, and Leo does not fit the bill. Is he going to play "present day" Shiherlis (younger Kilmer)? That seems like a stretch too.

It's kind of sad how totally shook Quentin Tarantino is. Seems more than likely he'll never make that "final" film.

Report from my sister-in-law: apparently my 2.5-year-old nephew asks semi-daily "did the Blue Jays win?" The kid is ready to be a Toronto sports fan.

Watched Wake Up Dead Man in a theatre last night and it sort of put me to sleep. BUT: Josh O'Connor is for real. Just an incredible actor to watch.

It just seems to me that one way to protect tenant's rights is to not create an Official Plan and Zoning system that focuses all development in areas with the most existing tenants. Just one man's opinion.
Isabella St. A perfectly good apt bldn empty, people displaced & being demolished all because so much of Toronto is off limits & forced here. Aka house neighbourhoods. Such a shame. Such waste. And the shame of every elected official here. Shame of Ford for not pushing reforms. All the same.

Eternity Review - Brief Take
In director David Freyne's film, life after death begins with a never-ending tradeshow. That could be damning, but the film's touch is light enough to work.

The one actual TIFF Midnight Madness screening I've ever been to (Brawl in Cell Block 99) started at 10:45pm, timed so as to have Udo Kier arrive on screen at the stroke of midnight.

There's a half-good documentary of Kensington Market that makes a point of discussing its history. But it's fascinating to watch as it tilts into "and now the Market is under threat" vibes, when it's clear what it needs is an influx of new people. Don't markets need customers?
It is extremely disappointing to see members of the Kensington Market Community Land Trust opposing a new student residence on College. Apparently on affordability and heritage grounds (how much affordability and heritage did the former parking lot/garage provide?)

This pic here is of a great new condo with a beautiful community centre built in that just opened. Aspirational indeed!
For the Star, I make the case for the condo/apartment as aspirational -- that the Canadian dream can also be an apartment in a dense neighbourhood and not, as is so often the case in this country, be taken to only ever mean a detached house. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
Navneet Alang: Condos get a bad rap. Here’s why they should be part of the Canadian dream
My parents bought their first home for 11,000 pounds (approximately $20,000) in 1974. It was an ordinary small row house on a dour street in East London. Now, more than
