Review - Scream 7 Starring Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Isabel May, Jasmin Savoy Brown.

At the Spliced Personality Substack this week I wrote about SCREAM 7 and the time I almost asked Neve Campbell out on a date.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY

My favorite place to see a movie. (Shh, don’t tell the others.)

Did you eat yet?

Always a great time talking to Justin and Laura.

My local newspaper says that Paul Newman only won the Oscar for THE COLOR OF MONEY “because he was ignored for great work in THE VERDICT, NOBODY’S FOOL and HUD.”

NOBODY’S FOOL came out eight years after THE COLOR OF MONEY.

Review - The President's Cake Starring Baneen Ahmed Nayyef, Sajad Mohamad Qasem, Waheed Thabet Khreibat.

Over at the Spliced Personality Substack this week I reviewed THE PRESIDENT’S CAKE, the story of a little girl, her pet rooster and a despot’s birthday cake.

It goes down a lot easier if you think of it as being the same age as Clint in ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN.

Damn, I’m six months older than her. Thanks for ruining my day, Jason!

Driving home last night in that tunnel behind the Alewife Parking Garage I saw a coyote in the road. He looked up at me and it was the first time I ever wished I was listening to Audioslave.

Thanks! Wish you guys could be here for this.

THIS JUST IN: I’ll be moderating a Q&A with SIRĀT director Oliver Laxe and screenwriter Santiago Fillol following the 7pm show at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on Thursday 3/5. Details below.

Gawd, remember those Magnolia links? It took me like five hours to watch SERENA. I wrote my whole review during breaks while it was buffering.

He shouldn’t be worried. These Democrats will still find a way to lose.

Day Two of watching an Amazon screener via Flow Capture in twenty minute chunks before it crashes and locks me out. I love how even the smallest distributors have licked this technology but with the $2 trillion company it’s still like trying to watch a Magnolia link in 2012.

There are so many Woodys you could do. CASABLANCA during PLAY IT AGAIN SAM, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN during CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, STARDUST MEMORIES during STARDUST MEMORIES.

The Brattle and Somerville theaters host a wild weekend of movies The weekend kicks off with "Ultimate Double Feature Weekend" pairing films within films, and culminates with a screening of the unfinished masterpiece "Queen Kelly" that bootlegger and political patri...

At WBUR this week I wrote about the Brattle Theatre’s Ultimate Double Features and the restoration of Erich von Stroheim’s QUEEN KELLY screening at the Somerville. Gonna be a wild weekend at the movies!

Ending homelessness requires creating permanent supportive housing AND direct, constant, compassionate outreach every day & night. Thank you to all our outreach workers & community partners for all that you do 🙏

bluesky is the most popular app for talking about twitter

Also, this place isn’t great for breaking news and kind of a drag unless you’re into scolding.

I stay on Twitter because there are people there I want to keep in touch with. It’s the same reason my mom and lots of other Catholics still go to church. They know the organization is run by criminal pedophiles, but it’s the only place to see your friends every week.

They used to make movies about guys who looked like this. It was a better world.

When it was used in the BEETLEJUICE sequel I said I hoped all the young Jenna Ortega fans would become obsessed with the song. It seems to have worked!
