The Muppets may be puppets, but The Belcourt's new screening series shows they're as real as any bickering Hollywood B-listers I have a friend whose 7-year-old daughter hates the Muppets. I mean, ol’ girl can’t stand ‘em.

I’m glad y’all back to liking Muppets again. I’ve been singing their praises for years. www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture...

There are too many people in film circles who confuse "movie I didn't like" and "worst movie ever made".

They really need to see more movies.

While I eventually became a MAD MEN fan, those first couple seasons definitely had me in “fuck these good-looking White people and their problems” mode.

The older I get, the more I accept that bad art is still better than no art at all.

This is why I’m not that upset about MARTY SUPREME. Yeah, it’s a fucking mess, but at least it tried to do something interesting — and it got people talking.

Listening to sad-boy soul (GIVEON, Dende, Xavier Omar) and weeping through talk-show monologues for two nights straight — that’s not normal, right?

Harvey's Hellhole: Teaching Mrs. Tingle — Crooked Marquee This month’s examination of the cinematic misdeeds of Miramax spotlights Kevin Williamson’s directorial debut, a would-be black comedy softened and spoiled by the brothers Weinstein.

Here are the top 15 things to do in Houston this weekend Yeah, it’s Super Bowl weekend. Houstonians who aren't watching at home have options for catching the game.

Some weekend ish for @culturemap.bsky.social. houston.culturemap.com/news/enterta...

It’s messed up we might end up having another civil war, just because the other side would rather live in denial than in a world where a Puerto Rican pop star performs at the Super Bowl.

As long as I live, I’ll never understand people who cry because they’re happy.

TEARS ARE FOR PAIN AND SADNESS ONLY! THE FUCK’S WRONG WIT U?!?

They fired 300 employees, including correspondents and bureau chiefs who cover the Middle East and Ukraine, the entire books department, and all the staff photographers.

It’s like Bezos came in and said, “Everybody who has made [REDACTED] look like a fucking idiot —

I like to think there’s an alternate timeline where Chadwick Boseman is alive and just did a movie where he and Kristen Stewart had a love scene that pissed everybody off.

I can’t help thinking we’re at where we’re at because the Soviet Union collapsed in the ‘90s and Republicans needed new people to pin Communism on.

A24 has really been fucking up this Oscar season.

Had to switch off GRAMMYs mid-Sabrina Carpenter.

I’m no longer a part of this world.

Don’t even get me started on the ‘90s, a time when a man having a crush on a 13-year-old (Natalie Portman!) was an actual subplot in a movie. crookedmarquee.com/harveys-hell...

When and where are the good bring-your-own vinyl nights in Houston?

I just realized I watched so much TV in the ‘80s, if you name any show, I can give you a Very Special Episode they had, like the two-part DIFF’RENT STROKES where Gary Coleman almost gets molested by Mr. Carlson from WKRP IN CINCINNATI.

I swear, this was actually shown on television.

— Third place is a doc MAGA folk are seeing out of spite.

— And in the middle is a gender-swapped SWEPT AWAY by the EVIL DEAD guy.

I was just watching this a couple of days ago. One of my favorite SNL sketches no one remembers but me. #RIPCatherineOHara youtu.be/b4Z-CMqZmgY?...

Bun B, local legends reflect on 50 years of Houston hip-hop Bun B took everyone through five decades of Houston's hip-hop scene at a Wednesday night panel.

I don’t think I ever properly met DJ Michael “5000” Watts, but I did get to see him speak at a Houston hip-hop panel a few years back. #RIPMichael5000Watts www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Learning that the host of LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH & FAMOUS allegedly went full SALO and murdered a girl at an Epstein party is, like, the fifth or sixth most shocking thing I’ve heard about today.
