Starring: Toronto!

There have been countless tv shows and movies filmed in this city over the years. Most of the time, Toronto is standing in for Chicago, or New York, or some other unnamed American city, like in the Nike ad below. I'm not a fan of Nike, but it's fun to watch and identify the familiar spots.



Recently, a movie that was not only shot in Toronto, but set in Toronto (and based on a series of graphic novels by a Toronto author) was released to reasonable acclaim, and put Toronto at centre stage. This movie, of course, is Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.



This movie was full of awesome, and not just because it's thoroughly Toronto. I can't wait to see it again!
