Toronto’s a steaming pit of collective angst and frustration.

High taxes, shitty infrastructure…and traffic so bad, that once you’re stuck in it, you’ll feel like you got demoted to hell.

I’m really on the fence here.

I loved Leto in Requiem For A Dream, but something just keeps giving me doubts that he’ll be able to touch on the caliber set by Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger.
