Before you decide to comment on the situation in Mexico, remember that the criminal organizations there obtain their guns from the U.S. and that that the U.S. is the main consumer for their products.

I talked to Tim Curry and Brian Henson about MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND for the NYT. The swashbuckling adventure turns 30 today. It was such a delight to write this one.

For LA Times, I wrote about why sequels and an aversion to taking risks have rendered most Hollywood animated features far less compelling in comparison to their international counterparts. And even when they make an interesting one, it rarely hits theaters: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.

The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

I contain multitudes! The last two pieces I wrote were on Albert Serra’s AFTERNOONS OF SOLITUDE and on Kronk from THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE (both for New York Times). Neither got much traction, but I’ll put the gift links in the replies in case anybody is curious to read.

The New York Times let me write about Kronk for the 25th Anniversary of THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE, one of my favorite movies as a kid. I talked to some of the artists who brought the beloved himbo henchman to life: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/m...

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Thank you Rob Reiner for your incredible life. Thank you for THE PRINCESS BRIDE, STAND BY ME & so many other wonderful classics, as well as your inspiring political activism. Losing you & Michele is heartbreaking, but your memory will live on.
