White privileged meaningless complaint of the day: I love being in queue at a coffee joint, being in a slight hurry, and the person in front of me takes out an order list for their office.

Antifa is short for “Anti-Fascist.”

I just canceled my subscription to Disney+/Hulu. Please consider doing the same. It’s easy.

George Orwell is starting to look smarter than Einstein or Hawking. Bookstores and libraries should be moving his books into the non-fiction section.

This week’s entertainment, sorted.

Yes?

FECs.

Honestly, has anyone EVER gotten more than one use out of their Super/Crazy/Gorilla glue before having to throw it out because it’s gone cement hard?

Today, I got both my flu shot and my Covid booster. I asked the nurse practitioner if she could tattoo "F*ck Trump" over one, and "F*ck RFK, Jr." over the other. She softly shook her head and said, "Don't get me started."

Am I the only one to whom the word “creatives” has the same effect as scratching one’s nails on a chalkboard?

You were able to get through the ads? What’s your secret?

I just re-watched "It Happened One Night" on tcmtv.bsky.social‬. Just possibly a perfect movie. Who would have guessed that the "first" rom-com would remain one of the very best, setting the standard for everything that's followed for the next 90 years?

Some people think that if just one person had bought a painting from a young Adolf Hitler, history might have changed. I often wonder what would have happened if there were just one girl in high school or college who hadn’t rejected Stephen Miller.

They must be filming a silent movie comedy in the Studio City Von's parking lot.

How lucky was I?

(2 of 2) ... and me with an early childhood crush, actress Kathy Garver, who played Cissy on “Family Affair.”

Last week’s opening reception for the Marx Brothers exhibit at the Hollywood Museum. Photos: with my friend Jade Marx @jademarx8 (Groucho’s granddaughter), costumes worn by Groucho, Chico and Harpo... (1 of 2)

27 years ago today. I never stopped looking at her like this. How lucky I was, to find the one whom my soul loved.

Zelda, as I’m walking up the stairs, late at night: “And where do you think you’ve been until all hours?”

Celebrate TFH Guru @bobweide.bsky.social's birthday with these trailer commentaries!

"Still Life With Jew at 66."

Studio City, Saturday. I was just stepping out to Starbucks for a cold latte. (But I did my part. Got it with NO ICE.)

If Francis was the People’s’ Pope, are Catholics now the Popeless Peeps?

In 1995, my friend Keith Gordon and I were in Montreal, filming our feature adaptation of the Vonnegut novel, "Mother Night," after five years of struggling to get financing.

We blinked our eyes, and thirty years flew by. That's forty-two years of friendship, and counting.

Years ago, a friend tried to convince me to join her in Thailand. I said, "No, too many screaming monkeys and poisonous fruit. You go with your girlfriends and have a good time."

#WhiteLotus SPOILER ALERT:

Nailed it! (Except for the monkeys.)

Another possibility: Rick’s British girlfriend. In fact, that may be my first choice. But I still think monkeys will be involved.

For what it's worth (nothing), my prediction for the season finalé of #WhiteLotus: I think the Walt Goggins character (Rick) is going to eat it. He got away too clean in Ep.7. I also think monkeys might play a role. Maybe a stray gun winds up in the hands of a monkey, who starts shooting.

This is what happens when the dumbest guy in the room insists he’s the smartest guy in the room, and he only surrounds himself with sycophants who are afraid to tell him how fucking stupid he is.

Excuse me??
