Hopefully the Letterboxd era of movie appreciation will end up better than the Ain’t It Cool era of movie appreciation because that was a disaster
The entertainment industry is in crisis, but a social platform for film enthusiasts is thriving. Is it changing the way we watch? nyti.ms/4kjQcPg

Watched The Plague last night. Good movie. It’s set in 2003. Is there a trend to set movies in the recognizable past, just long enough ago that the filmmakers don’t have to factor in cellphones? The Plague would be a completely different movie if all the boys were constantly on their phones

Attia’s “apology” is so obviously the product of a crisis management team
Bari Weiss, the embattled head of CBS News, stands by this guy even though his email exchanges with Epstein are some of the most disgusting things you’ll ever read anywhere.

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this.
Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

The Trump Kennedy Center loses Bela Fleck, Renee Fleming, Philip Glass and the Washington National Opera but booked Adam Carolla so this is definitely the direction they were headed in
Honestly, better to close it down than for it to suffer the indignity of having to host an endless series of Kid Rock & Rob Schneider performances.
donald is closing the Kennedy Center for the next two years...

It is mind blowing how much right wing attitudes toward child molestation and trafficking
changed since that period when Sound of Freedom was a box office smash and anyone on Twitter who said anything positive about Disney was called a “groomer”. Things sure changed after the election

Unlike Drysdale's Dugout, Tommy Lasorda's Ribs and Pasta (his "two favorite foods") was not a success. The Health Dept. nailed his South Pas eatery only a year after its 1987 debut due to rats in the kitchen that peed on plates.
This & 2 other locales permanently closed by 1990.

The de-aging in The Irishman is pretty bad. If they made the movie now, it’d look a lot better. Whoops, just saw the XFinity Jurassic Park ad and it’s gotten worse

There are many reasons people get jobs but no one’s ever gotten a job with the goal of helping to reduce the national debt
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

Yeah, it brings me zero pleasure to report that not only is Groening mentioned in the Epstein Emails (albeit not alongside any implications of wrongdoing), but the late Virginia Giuffre said she was forced to give him a foot massage on the Lolita Express when she was 16:

It’s also funny since Orson Welles gave Eartha Kitt her start onstage by casting her as Helen of Troy in a version of Dr Faustus in…1950.
apparently on the other place they're all flipping out about Lupita Nyong'o being Helen of Troy bc they're backwards racists and I just
