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...

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.

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.
