Best Picture

I don't see that many movies in the theatres anymore, so I've only just recently managed to see the last of the ten films nominated for an academy award (the last one was a film I wasn't terribly interested in seeing: The Blind Side).

For me, the top three are probably Up in the Air, Up, and An Education. And I think that An Education is probably the best of the bunch. While I'm glad, in some ways, that Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director, I can't say that I was terribly thrilled with Hurt Locker. (And let's just not talk about Avatar.)

Impromptu G20 Protest This Evening

I found out about a last-minute protest against police action during the G20 weekend. It was especially a rally in support of the 900 people still in jail (largest mass arrests in Canada's history). So, of course I had to go.

No singing

Police confront crowd singing subversive song.

Agents Provocateur?

Does this video capture a cop dressed as a Black Bloc vandal?

More G20 fascism

He shouldn't have tried to bring goggles into the park.
