THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT is one of my favorite movie discoveries of this year. It definitely deserves to be better known!
THE SURE THING is my personal favorite of Reiner's movies, & it also deserves to be better-known. It's a perfect (imo) updating of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT into an '80s teen comedy.

I'm really sad to hear that Rob Reiner and his wife were killed. I feel like directors are lucky to have ONE perfect film on the resume. IMO, Rob Reiner had four. What an amazing body of work to leave behind. Thanks for all the great art, Mr. Reiner.

Today’s FYE haul!
(I didn't realize that I'd picked up a Savage brothers double feature until I got home, btw!)

Apparently I'm in the minority on this, but I like this album cover and title! I think it's a bold, strong creative choice to be this blatantly goofy, and I appreciate the bravery-especially in the name of fun!

Remembering the late Robert Redford with a movie I like from four decades: one from the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s.
I like that this selection is so diverse; he did so much during his career and he left plenty of classics behind. He was one of the last real movie stars.

I think ELECTRIC DREAMS is a fun-but-flawed romantic comedy (with some interesting things to say about AI's role in the arts), but there's one part that's flawless, and that's "Together in Electric Dreams." In fact, it WAS a hit in the UK!

You know what's exciting? Roaming around Tubi and stumbling across a movie you've wanted to see for YEARS.

I don't have anything to say aboiut the TV show THE STUDIO. I however, would like to take this opportunity to say that John Gregory Dunne's book THE STUDIO could make an excellent miniseries (under a different title, of course).
Seemed like a good time to bring it up!
