TIL that the same David Ward who wrote the Sting also wrote and directed Major League.

I do love a wide and varied Hollywood career. Made me think about other careers with range.

George Miller: Mad Max AND Happy Feet.

Bob Clark: Black Christmas AND A Christmas Story.

Other examples?

So excited for the Altman HOF and the collection you’re curating on Criterion Channel. Never seen Quintet or A Perfect Couple, Jimmy Dean… plus will be nice to revisit the rest.

Did I cry? Several times? Maybe! (Okay, I did).
Really beautiful writing, Emily. A bittersweet feeling at the end of book… it was amazing to see how they had all grown and developed but I was sad to say goodbye to them. Can’t wait to read your next book.

Recently read @emilystjams.bsky.social’s fabulous novel Woodworking. I love an intergenerational small town story of connection, and this was moving and delightful. One of my very favorite reads of the year.

Indeed. It’s NY and LA and then the next tier. Would probably say for that: Chicago, Miami, DC, SF, Houston, Boston, Philly, Seattle, Atlanta.

in so many ways MR. ROBOT was ahead of its time in its approach to character, understanding that every person is a dynamic blend of past, present, desire, regret, fury and loneliness; representation, but more. was just walking about the mosque scene the other day. a highlight in prestige TV.

NY Times push alert that reads: Chaos at the D.N.C.
The Democratic National Committee has been plagued by infighting and a drop in big donations, raising alarm as the party tries to win back power.

It’s almost comforting that we can always count on the Times to raise this as news.

Over on ILX there's a new thread called "Let's determine the best moment of New Order's The Perfect Kiss on Substance" and these are the options in the poll and 1) accurate, all of them and 2) I am in agonies that there is no "ALL OF THEM" option.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem.

Right fucking now.

Nicky Katt was such an electric performer. I was forever a fan of his after seeing this scene from the Limey.

From The NY Times: "There's obviously an ongoing negotiation with Russia and Ukraine, and I think the president made the decision not to conflate the two issues." Russia pays no tariffs under the president's current system;
Ukraine, the victim of Moscow's 2022 invasion, pays 10 percent.)
