I’d Rather leave a Big Dirty Footprint

By: Nicole Haldoupis Public transit is a wonderful thing. Every citizen of this planet who regularly suffers because of it is probably, in some way or another, very proud of the fact that they are contributing to reduction of our carbon footprint as a species on this planet.

R.I.P. Celluloid Film: 1888 – 2011?<br/> Lets Hope Not…

By: Barry Germansky Celluloid is a dying giant soon to hitch a corporate-sponsored night train to the “big adios”. The honchos at the helm of the three major manufacturers of motion picture film cameras – Aaton, ARRI, and Panavision – have decided to lower their curtain of dollar bills on the assembly line producing cinema’s [...]

The Ranting Rebel

By: Ardo Omar I was never a fan of 60 Minutes as a kid. Who could blame me? It was dull, dry, and was meant for people who were nearing the end of their lives. My parents were those people (obviously, I didn’t realize that they weren’t as old as I thought) and enjoyed watching [...]

Tyler Durden Says <br/>“CUT THE MATERIALISM!”

By: Talia Leacock-Babb Tyler Durden says… “You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your f**king khakis.” And he’s right. I watched Fight Club this weekend, and Brad Pitt’s character, with his harsh assessment [...]

What makes you mad?<br/>Mini-Rants

WASHROOMS: I have a serious issue with the washrooms on campus, especially at Vanier College. I was under the impression that this is a university, not a high school. Writing on stalls, leaving nasty messes in the stalls – I mean really ladies? There is no reason for you to be so disgusting. The females [...]

haters

By: Talia Leacock-Babb If Generation Y is famous for anything, it’s probably for how much older folks complain about us. It’s always one thing or another that they’re taking issue with. Us crazy kids with our internet and gadgets are always too plugged in, too anti-social, too self-absorbed, too lazy and unmotivated, and quite frankly, [...]

There are many facts and myths transpiring around Keele campus about Glendon and as a proud Glendonite myself, I’m here to tell you about the truth. FACT: Glendon has [...]

Montgomery Clift:<br/>A Forgotten Rebel</em>

By: Barry Germansky Montgomery Clift would have celebrated his 90th birthday this year, had he not met his tragic end at 45 back in 1966. The significance of this cannot be underestimated within the acting community. He was the original rebel actor, predating both Marlon Brando and James Dean. Unlike his aforementioned counterparts, Clift was not [...]
