one thing i find despicable is the rise of home espresso machines. you get espresso/cappuccinos while you are out. it is a social event. you go out to get a coffee. absolutely pathetic and anti-social to have this equipment at home
New reporting from @TheBreachMedia shows that Canadian universities operated a secret national effort to coordinate surveillance and policing of anti-genocide activism and encampments.
These are the schools involved:
A24’s ‘Tony,’ starring Dominic Sessa as a young Anthony Bourdain, is an unexpected choice for Matt Johnson’s Hollywood entry. The 40-year-old Canadian filmmaker’s first two features — 2013’s ‘The Dirties’ and 2016’s ‘Operation Avalanche’ — were loose low-budget films starring himself, made by messing around with friends, and built on spontaneity and the belief that a movie reveals itself in the edit. Running alongside those two films was the project that made Johnson a cult figure: ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show,’ which was adapted into a feature film that sent Johnson crisscrossing North America on a nearly sold-out screening tour. Once known mostly to Toronto cinephiles, he now gets routinely recognized on the street — including when he spent a day with Vulture critic Nicholas Quah.
‘Tony’ is as much a biography of Bourdain as Johnson. The character of Bourdain’s mother, played by Dagmara Dominczyk, is directly inspired by Johnson’s mother, a physician whose exacting standards both intimidated and shaped him. The young Bourdain’s early self-mythologizing echoed Johnson's own instinct to invent himself before he'd earned it: “Lying and manipulating — putting on a false identity of somebody who has achieved something, even though I had done nothing — was a way to patch things over,” Johnson says, “because I felt there was an expectation on me to be great.”
Johnson talks about why he changed his mind about taking on ‘Tony,’ how he feels about his older comedy material now, and more: https://t.co/XBSHuv06QR
