I saw THE PRINCESS BRIDE in theater in '87. I was 7 or 8. Instantly quotable. Watched it over & over again on VHS. Last year I got to show it to my daughter and she loved it too. The gift of a timeless classic. And Rob Reiner had multiple. I just can't fathom this tragedy. RIP to a legend.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Rob Reiner was a master storyteller whose gifts transcended genre & scope, from larger than life adventure to intimate horror to childlike wonder and beyond. He was truly one of one. As you wish.

You do, indeed, love to see it.

Oh it's gotta be Thomas Rosales Jr. That homie has been in sooooo many things I love! These pics aren't even everything. If it's only acting, that's the first 3, but he's also a stuntman and if that's included you get the 4th pic. This dude deserves recognition!

RIP to the legend Diane Keaton.
The confession scene in The Godfather 2 is one of the greatest screen acting scenes of all time. Keaton's "Oh Michael" is the key that opens the door to her unbridled honesty that saves her soul and destroys what's left of his.

On my @letterboxd.social watchlist now! Travis @aheartofgould.bsky.social called this a "Cassavetes castlevania of toxic love and vampiric sex" which not only makes me want to watch it immediatley but displays in a phrase why he's one of the best film writers out there.
I better see this film on all your Halloween watchlists this October.

I ❤️ @mattbelloni.bsky.social for this. The ethics of Hollywood are basement level. Same for tech (see below a column I wrote in 2019).

JFC. Fascist, racist, corupt Justices giving the ok for ethnic cleansing by arguing 'don't worry, there's a spectrum of constitutional violation" is as frightening as it is enraging.
Understand, this is scary for all brown folks, no matter citizenship, language, or employment. We're all targets.
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

If you're up early tomorrow and have access to terrestrial tv, I'll be on a live segment on Good Day L.A. (Fox 11)in the 7 o'clock hour. They'll be doing hourly segments all morning from my work.

50 years ago Born to Run was released by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. It's a no skip masterpiece in my book.
