With Diane Ladd’s passing, we’ve now lost both Flos in the same year. Polly Holliday passed in Sept.

On this day in 1940, Bugs Bunny debuted in “A Wild Hare.”
In March 2025 at age 54, I had him permanently affixed to my left arm. My first and only tattoo. Why?
*Because Bugs Bunny won’t abide a bully*
A sweaty orange buffoon demands the daily wake-up call: “Of course you know…this means war.”

Never noticed in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (‘51) that after alien emissary Klaatu finds the cleaner tag on his stolen coat, he doesn’t bother finding a trash can. Asshole throws it on the ground.

As the direction for ICE agents to not identify themselves when kidnapping human beings—men, women and children—continues unabated, let us consider a name for these faceless stormtroopers.

Vietnam had “Charlie.”

With this silent, peaceful act of protest, one that could invite MAGAmurican reprisals, I declare myself a proud American, not for what America is right now, but for what it could be.
MY FELLOW AMERICANS,
DEFY THIS MOTHERFUCKER
WITH CONSTANT CIVIL DISSENT.

Last summer, I interviewed these two for projects airing now in regular rotation on Turner Classic Movies.
I gave a copy of my book to each of them...and I know for a fact that *Steven Spielberg* read the whole thing in two days. And loved it.
Words fail me.

I am an unabashed fan of the MCU, and I can be a pretty forgiving fan when it comes to quality.
But believe me when I say, THE MARVELS is terrific.
Fast-paced, funny w/ complicated, Nolan-esque action scenarios, loved every second of it.
Box office & cynic critics be damned

I am pleased as punch to say that #QuizLady on @hulu.bsky.social is endearing and Sandra-Oh-so-very-funny.
There is a gut-punch of a cameo at the end that hopefully social media doesn't spoil for you.
Really terrific film.
