Great story.
When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Unsurprisingly, the president's reaction to the murder of Rob Reiner confirmed that he is indeed one of the most vile men ever to occupy the White House.

There’s a lot I want to say about Rob Reiner, but right now I’m in too much of shock to say anything that would feel right.

Paul Dano is a great actor.
This is hardly the first time that QT has expressed an idiotic opinion. (He’s also wrong about John Ford, Kubrick, Zinnemann, the list goes on.)

I've waited my whole life to hear a New York mayor say things like this
"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

I’ve only seen two of his films, but I really admired his 1974 docudrama about Edvard Munch (I reviewed it for my blog when I was a teen) and I remember Punishment Park as a blistering experience.

One Battle After Another is a very good film, yet I’m not sure that I would place it in the first rank of PTA’s greatest films.
Loved the performances, the themes and the action sequences, but when it ended, I felt slightly unsatisfied.
Still, enough of it worked for me to recommend it.
