@dd_toronto @typebooks I was hoping you'd get a book of the week shout out - congrats! Headed over there later today to get my copy 😊

Feeling more excited than ever for #CanFilmDay this year! This holiday's an easy one to celebrate virtually. Kicking things off by checking out Mary Goes Round on @cbcgem. After that: The Fireflies Are Gone & Werewolf. Highly recommended if you haven't seen those last two!

Crushed to be reading this news today. If there is any way you can help out by placing a virtual order, please do so!

📣 We need your help. This is the post we hoped to never write, but today marks a huge turning point in The Strand's history. Our revenue has dropped nearly 70% compared to last year, and the loans and cash reserves that have kept us afloat these past months are depleted.

Thanks @tcm for programming this wonderful selection of @MilestoneFilms tonight! Such a treat to see these treasures, starting with Notfilm. Fully on board for the rest of this #Milestoneat30 shindig

@jferg619 Feeling this more than you know. But there are some great streaming concerts happening right now - I will hook you up with some links! 😉

Barbara Harris was completely fearless in her performances, perpetually fascinating to watch, and largely responsible for arguably the greatest ending in cinema history. #RIP

@enantiomorph Belated thank you for sharing this link, Q! Loved it, of course. Really made me admire Sheedy even more, as she's been speaking out re: these issues for eons. Thanks again for sharing!

Extremely late to the party, but this is rocking my world tonight...

@HaltAMC Never tweeted much during this series - too transfixed - but would be remiss if I didn't say thanks for 4 seasons of stunning tv
