Diamond Tongues
Back when I was working on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight they used the live set for a scene in Diamond Tongues featuring July Talk’s Leah Fay.
The higher ups didn’t really tell most of the staff they were doing this so when she appeared on set there was very much a “Who the fuck is this chick and why is she being so annoying?”
It turns out there was a very… enthusiastic… reason why Fay’s appearance with Strombo played out the way it did.

Southpaw
Jake Gyllenhaal is going to be in a new movie called Southpaw.
Rumour has it Gyllenhaal trained like mad for the role to look legit.
There appears to be one problem, however.
In all the advance promo material Gyllenhaal is shown in the orthodox, right-handed fighting stance, not the southpaw left-handed stance.
Sarah wrote about this inconsistency for Fightland.

Bob Hope, boxing fan
One of the world’s most legendary comedians also had a bit of a boxing past. And he used it to get laughs for decades.
It seems Bob Hope knew how to throw a punch well enough to have an above-.500 fight record. He found playing the loser got more laughs, though.
Sarah recapped Bob Hope’s boxing past in a story for Fightland.

Empty movie theater
Flea bites. Sleep daze. Antihistamine reactions. Hallucinatory appearances by David Cronenberg.
They were all things that happened during one of Sarah’s strangest experiences at a movie theater.
She recalled the details of her weird trip as part of a compilation feature on Consequence Of Sound about people’s Most Memorable Movie Theater Experiences.
Sarah still has no idea whether the Cronenberg she saw was real or not.
