Thank you @Indie88Toronto for playing my late brother's song yesterday: "Don't Text Her" by Hot Tea. It meant so much to us to hear him and to share his music with the city. We miss him so much.

Eva Victor names her favorite pop culture moment:

“When Fergie did all the flips. To me, what Fergie puts into this world—we cannot understand what we have on our hands.”

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

@edgarwright Thank you for making this movie! I saw it on opening night and loved it. It’s such a great time capsule of Toronto from those years that I treasure deeply.

Dominic Sessa on why he agreed to play Anthony Bourdain:

“Honestly, because I really liked Matt Johnson. I didn’t know anything about Bourdain. I only really felt motivated to dig my head into it if I was doing it with Matt. Initially, it wasn’t something I felt like I wanted to do that much. I didn’t really know how to do it, and Matt made it sound exciting. He made it make sense to me.

If you have a good trust in the director you’re working with, things typically work out.”

The domestic box office is reaching its highest overall weekend total of all time.

The $355 million+ domestic opening of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” — a possible all-time record — and the $51 million third weekend of “The Odyssey” pushed total grosses across all releases over $434 million.

That surpasses the $402 million overall total recorded in April 2019, which was propelled by the opening of “Avengers: Endgame."

Ten years ago, I discovered a 700-strong list on @MUBI entitled ‘Edgar Wright’s Favorite Movies’, which came as something of a surprise, as I hadn’t written it. Though the American spelling of ‘favourite’ was a clue.
The list had been created by Sam DiSalle, so I reached out to ask how he had compiled it. He explained that it included every film I had ever said I liked in interviews, articles and polls. I asked if I could edit it and, over the next few months, after much addition and subtraction, gave him enough further suggestions to bring the grand total up to a round 1,000 films.
Every now and then I update it and thought I would do so ten years on. It is a very personal and entirely subjective selection of favourites from more than 100 years of cinema. Some people get extremely riled up about films they perceive to be ‘missing’, so please be warned: any comments along the lines of “What, no…?” will be deleted. It’s only one person’s list, and the great news is you can absolutely make your own. In fact, I encourage you to!
I enjoy keeping the list fluid for my own pleasure, amusement and reference. I’m sharing a recently updated version in the hope that you’ll have fun poring over it and diving into some films you haven’t seen, or perhaps haven’t even heard of. I should also apologise to my friends at @1000filmsblog for adding and removing titles. I really don’t mean to increase your workload! Anything that has ever appeared on the list remains valid; I simply like to cycle films in and out according to rewatches and new discoveries.
And, of course, enormous thanks to Sam DiSalle for helping me put it all together and maintain it over the years. Links to his MUBI and @letterboxd versions of the list are below. Film-watching is a lifetime pursuit, and there are still so many others out there for me to see. I hope these two lists are a great place to for you to start. Please give my regards to your eyeballs!

Threw on Ariana Grande’s new video today and was shocked at what I saw. Genuinely very concerned about her. She’s so talented but clearly very sick. Hoping she gets the help she needs before it’s too late 😢

[Alessandra @alessacece]

First time seeing something in Screen X and woof… not a fan. Even worse the first 10 mins it wasn’t working and they had to stop the movie and restart it from the beginning so that the screens could work.

Wolf Like Me really is that bitch

[Hulu @hulu]

Per Matt and Jay, we will refrain from saying it's going to be a great show.

Nirvanna the Band the Show streams for the first time ever on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the U.S. July 24, and Hulu on Disney+ in Canada August 7.

@THR Why would he care what someone told me at the beginning of his career?

If Spielberg really loved UFOs he would’ve premiered DISCLOSURE DAY at the Vaughan Cineplex Colossus

A newly found bright spot on the moon has been named Carroll by the Artemis II crew.

This is named after astronaut Reid Wiseman's late wife.
