Montreal!

or an acceptabel digital format?

ty so much for that link!, flopson. seeing old american films subtitled is gonna be super useful for me & the programme looks fun

xp i have no idea, if digital it was more than acceptable (to me) in fact very crisp

if it's like bluray i can deal, if its dvd i'll be sad :(

might have to just called the box office and see?

i was going to email the theater

because i'm very plugged in

be that guy

i am guessing not film tho, just because it seems like that would be a thing they'd prob say on the site?

the ones i saw were definitely not film

tarkovsky season! http://www.cinemaduparc.com/english/prochainemente.php?id=maitresrusses#top

also i live here now

buy some ontario peaches theyre really good rn

oh and welcome!

I hear people in Montreal eat gerbils.

that would be weird

welcome to the city!

omg I need to buy some peaches

I went to the maker faire thing this weekend, sort of part of experience mtl thing, out at Olympic stadium - fair was neat, nerdy DIY techy, interesting, but I can't get over the oppressive concrete environment out there, with the stadium looming over it all. it's no wonder the govt is trying to revive the area, since it's a large space near the botanical gardens, biodome, etc, but man if it is hardly a welcoming spot... Also I posted abt experience mtl on my fb and friends were like "what is this and how did I not know public enemy is coming to town?" In my mind, more proof that Anglo weeklies are important...

There were gerbil sandwiches there, I saw with my astral projection

I think you're thinking of south american guinea pig sandwiches

that's montevideo not montreal, I see where the mistake could be made

OH SNAO! You are right. I was thinkig of Don Matus

In my mind, more proof that Anglo weeklies are important...

No it's cool there are other ways to learn things like those really informative TVs in the metros where you totally look at the 95% of the screen that isn't the number of minutes until you can go home

(I joke but that's where I learned about the Ryoji Ikeda exhibition :/)

The only thing vaguely important or significant thing in the Mirror was the Rant Line. I don't disagree that we might need an anglo weekly, but it sure wasn't that piece of shit.

yes but u hate everything including seemingly life itself

life's the worst, imo

"u hate everything including seemingly life itself - THE MONTREAL THREAD"

lol

:D

you cheat yourself of everything that moves

The Mirror was a tired little cabal, the sort that produces nothing of value but still feels the right to be applauded for it. Appearing in print (on REAL PAPER) is not a virtue nor is evidence of quality

sick burn

oh wait you're that dude that hates everything and refuses to meet other montreal ilxors right

like you spent time clowning on people telling them not to practice their french because they will be the absolute worst people on the planet, no exaggeration

montreal's own burt_stanton

I'm paraphrasing myself on some thread from months ago, but I believe my comments were to the effect that "people who work at Subway for $7 an hour aren't paid enough to humour the fantasies of American tourists and hipsters who wish to 'practice their French'." You want fromage on that, boss? Toasté?

Take a French course. There are clubs you can join for that. Don't hamstring the customer service efficiency of a functioning North American city because you wish to pretend the person serving you doesn't understand the difference between fromage and cheese.

I may also suggested it's insulting because the person you're dealing with may also prefer to speak English, but you wouldn't get that.

Montreal threads collect some lame hangers-on, but I guess that's proportional to the city itself.

when eaton's removed the ' fields of salmon was there

but he's losing his edge

When Mookieproof bought a fixed-gear bicycle made out of random spare parts, I was there.

lol your hatred for your city is consistently hilarious and depressing, i'd suggest you'd move but i'm sure you'd be just as miserable wherever you went

I'll try not to be too miserable when I'm back in yr burg yet again this year, sir

for memories, for posterity:

I've been here for what seems like forever. The food is still appalling (tourist trap brochetteries, rudeness bistros, overpriced fast food, casse-croûte straight out of Naked Lunch, Asian fusion nouilleries, the worst pizza of any major city in North America) in any of the areas that are "Montreal" enough to warrant living in. The food's good enough in some outer areas where the immigrants of colour have been granted restaurant licenses to cook their smelly ethnic foods, but you might as well live in Ontario and get a decent job at that rate since a Montreal suburb is just as ugly if not uglier than anywhere else and the food in Toronto is world class. Go ahead, live in Verdun. Have a hot dog. Tant pis. Or, live somewhere even shittier and, une fois par semaine, vas-t'en au quartier Chinois to enjoy the privilege of paying $8.00 for mediocre Pho. Bagels are good though, so is La Banquise (which hasn't poisoned me yet).

Any of the charmingly local nouveau cuisine has a kind of reactionary political context that I don't feel comfortable eating. Go ahead, eat duck and rabbit while your city collapses around your ears. Historical shit, right? Let's continue to harken to a semi-mythical vie de bûcheron. That's going to help a lot, bros. But the tourists love it so I guess you're getting paid, Picard.

The omnipresent corruption and incompetence can wear a bit thin. But, whatever.

Still not sure I'd want to live anywhere else.

speaking of our "shitty food" I had a burger at La Flammee (in Brasserie Cherrier, which apparently isn't a dive now?) and it was in my top 2 burgers in the city! RIYL: burgers

I made Pizza poutine the other day - pwned the kitchen - fries, Newmans' Own saucey and cheese. chez Manifique!

im hearing good things about this burg

it's not some sort of bold redefinition of the burger or anything, it just plays the hits RIGHT. so juicy. plus you can order it rare since they grind it to order. yeah i rather enjoyed it. the fries were no joke either, and the coleslaw was not creamy = a win for coleslaw everytime imo.

can anyone rep for a good falafel sandwich, here. it doesn't seem to be a big ~presence~ afaict. i am exploring quite a lot at the moment (ty for the tips on the ikeda exhibition btw!) & am pretty open to most-all top-veggie-menu-items anyone is pushing. this time of year is so nice in montreal.

hm.. most of the middle eastern joints focus on shish taouk and shwarma, and altho they all have falafel i wouldn't describe any of the fast-food falafel as A++.

Daou is a pretty solid restaurant that has quality Lebanese food.

good falafel doesnt really exist here, you might want to try panthère verte on st-viateur tho, its prob the best
