I was a high school teacher for 15 years and James Tallerico was exactly the sort of student I would put in charge of the class if I needed to step out of the room quickly to use the bathroom.

Since a lot of people are talking about the Chevy Chase documentary, this seems like a good time to plug my book MY YEAR OF CHEVY, wherein I watched all his movies in a 12-month span and analyzed his career accordingly. amzn.to/3YTKtpj
My Year of Chevy: One Guy's Journey Through the Filmography of Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase has been one of the most interesting and diverse actors in comedy. He has starred in classic hits and notorious bombs, major Hollywood productions and obscure independent films. For this o...

It's been a while since I've been in a movie theater, but my social anxiety made me get used to sitting in the first three rows and I really loved the experience. It felt like I was immersed in the movie. From everything I'm hearing about the theater experience these days, I was wise.

@aisleseat.bsky.social I'm interested whether you're going to check out the CNN doc on Chevy Chase or if you're going to skip it. I know you're such a huge fan and I'm reading that the doc focuses a lot on what people who worked with him really thought of him.

I was going to say that I could give a shit about Trump talking to little kids, but after this past week, I think we all give a shit about Trump talking to little kids.

I've never had to apologize for being white. Is someone asking me to apologize for being white? Is this all a bunch of total bullshit?

I saw someone on Twitter post that she began her journey of healing from sexual abuse and addiction after reading about James Ransone's journey. She said she wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for him. That's pretty amazing.
December 22, 2025 at 2:22 AM
Ransone was an inspiration to many by talking about his abuse & addictions. When I say that Ransone appearing in Ken Park may have hurt him in his adult life I'm not blaming Clark for his suicide. But watch Ken Park and tell me that being in a Larry Clark film like that was healthy for anyone in it.

I'm against censorship. As long as it's legal, art shouldn't be censored...with one exception. Ken Park should not exist.
December 22, 2025 at 1:49 AM
Larry Clark made James Ransone do some pretty fucked up scenes when Ransone was very very young. I wonder if that affected him in some way later in his adult life. Wouldn't be the first person whose life Larry Clark hurt by appearing in one of his movies.

RIP to James Ransone. He added a lot of heart to It Chapter Two. And he was in one of the most disturbing film scenes ever in Ken Park. A one-of-a-kind talent. Very sad.

Doug Jones is brilliant and he hopefully will be a great Attorney General under the next Democratic president, but I don't think he has any chance at all of getting within 10 points of becoming governor of Alabama.
The last time Alabama elected a Democrat for governor was 1998. But other Democrats like John Bel Edwards and Andy Beshear have proven that good candidates can turn gubernatorial mansions blue, even in the reddest of states. How about Doug Jones?
If Any Dem Can Be Governor of Alabama, It’s This Guy. It Still May Take a Miracle.
Running against Tommy Tuberville may not seem like a major challenge. But it is in the deep-red South.

There's something sociologically insightful about the popularity of six seven. Kids are going to say and do annoying things which sometimes don't have any meaning. It's a universal truth. Kids have always said annoying nonsensical things and they always will... and adults will always be irritated.

Quentin Tarantino is a fucking amazing filmmaker! Quentin Tarantino is a fucking douchebag! See everyone? It's easy.

I wish we could just agree that Quentin Tarantino publicly insulting Paul Dano's acting abilities was something only a self-centered asshole would say in an interview. Can we also agree that Paul Dano is a good actor? Can we all agree that Quentin Tarantino makes good films? That's the end of that.
