Or so you’d think. Gordon Gekko — the antihero of 1987’s ED VILLA (ext. 239) Wall Street — is, after all, the only part to earn Douglas a Best Actor Oscar. Charismatic, powerful and SHEREE MCKAVANAGH (ext. 245) rich beyond most people’s comprehension, Gekko became a touchstone for the men who buy and DIRECTOR, MEDIA OPERATIONS dissolve companies, scooping up profits with no concern for employees or shareholders. CATHY PROWSE (ext. 223) But go back 23 years to revisit Wall Street’s reviews and you’ll see opinions about the film — and QUEBEC 514.868.0005 Douglas — were mixed, notably in a classic At the Movies faceoff between Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. DIRECTOR, SALES SOPHIE JODOIN (ext. 222) “Michael Douglas overplays his role,” scoffs Siskel, adding that the characters are “much too broadly ACCOUNT MANAGER drawn.” Ebert jumps to the actor’s defence, “I totally disagree.” Voice raising, hands flailing. “Douglas MARTIN DEZIEL (ext. 224) SALES COORDINATOR is right on, it’s a terrific performance. His aberrations; it’s consuming, it’s obsessive and it’s good.” MÉLISSA DALLAIRE (ext. 223) Variety kicked off its review with, “Watching Oliver Stone’s Wall Street is about as wordy and dreary as reading the financial papers’ accounts of the rise and fall of an Ivan Boesky-type arbitrageur.” But the BRITISH COLUMBIA 778.997.3923 ACCOUNT MANAGER Washington Post disagreed: “Like the stock market of late, Wall Street has its ups and its downs, but its MATT WATSON principal equity is a bullish performance from Michael Douglas as a company-gobbling arbitrageur.” SPECIAL THANKS MATHIEU CHANTELOIS, Having just watched the film again, I see why the response was fractured. Wall Street is cheesy in MARIE-CLAUDE FILLION, JOAN GRANT, parts, and has some terrible performances — Daryl Hannah won a Razzie for her turn as an ELLIS JACOB, PAT MARSHALL, opportunistic decorator.

  • Narcissism + Neoliberalism = the Life of I
    Narcissism + Neoliberalism = The Life Of I Ross Welcome to Renegade Inc. The rise of hyper individualism and an I, me, mine, culture has encouraged two personality types to dominate business and politics. Where money, power and status lie, the corporate psychopath and the narcissist can be reliably found relentlessly chasing success at the expense of everybody else. Ross Anne Manne, welcome to Renegade Inc. Thank you very much for joining us. Anne Manne It's lovely to be with you. Ross You have thought a fair bit about two of the ills that dog Western society. One is neoliberalism and the other is narcissism. And actually, you've made a connection between the two. Just walk us through what you think that connection is. Anne Manne Perhaps if I start by just outlining the work on narcissism as to exactly what constitutes a narcissistic character. The core elements are things like having an overwhelming sense of entitlement, of being grandiose but without a commensurate kind of achievement, a willingness to exploit others and a lack of empathy - I call it the three deadly Es of narcissism - and a very unstable sense of self whereby the self esteem is too high most of the time. But if the person is criticised, they'll retaliate with humiliated fury. So this is a person also who, in the workplace, will often try and take credit for things that other people do. And they are extremely good at what they call impression management - so giving a sense of an impression of being a better person than they are, a more successful person.

  • 771 Yonge Street
    REPORT FOR ACTION Alterations to a Designated Heritage Property, Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement - 771 Yonge Street Date: December 1, 2017 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director Wards: Ward 27 – Toronto Centre-Rosedale SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage property at 771 Yonge Street, in connection with the proposed redevelopment of the site and per the settlement offer submitted to the City by Sherman Brown on July 26, 2017, in conjunction with an appeal to the OMB of the application for Zoning By-law Amendment. This report also recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 771 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for this property. As part of the project scope, the existing property at 771 Yonge Street will be conserved and incorporated into the redevelopment. The tower will be stepped back 10 metres from the Yonge Street property line with a strategy that does not impact the building's three dimensional form through retention of existing wall fabric at all elevations, in-kind reconstruction of the non-heritage roof and restoration of the street facing facades. New retail uses are proposed within the heritage structure with a new floor slab proposed to be reconstructed between the first and second floor levels. Should the alterations to the subject property be approved, staff recommend that the property owner be required to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement to ensure the long-term protection of the heritage property.
