Few NYC bands are as thrilling and ferocious live as Model/Actriz @modelactriz.com. Frontman Cole Haden is a divine extrovert onstage, and gentle, thoughtful, and candid in interviews. Loved the privilege of chatting to Cole this summer for "UKNY" on FUV, archived here:

I would appreciate this #PaddyChayefsky documentary #CollectorofWords on @tcmtv.bsky.social a hell of a lot more if the filmmakers had bothered to interview a single woman or person of color, writer or actor. #tcmparty. Coda: Took 27 minutes for Merrill Markoe to say one sentence.

Stephen Colbert should run for president. I know he probably won’t. But it would be amazing.

Kind of wonder if Scorsese paid weird homage to Kubrick’s #KillersKiss with his NYC nightmare in “After Hours” ‘cause there are definitely similarities. #tcmparty

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

Here's Colbert on July 14 making fun of Paramount for paying Trump $16 million. It's hard not to see CBS canceling his show through this lens.
"I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It's big fat bribe."

Of all of Martin Scorsese’s movies, I always thought #TheAgeofInnocence is his best, a voluptuous movie of sensual, tragic restraint. A different kind of violence. And Joanne Woodward’s narration deserved its own Oscar. #tcmparty
