Truly one of the best talkbacks and not only because we got to see Christopher Nolan direct Ridley Scott how he should change his grip on the mic (it lasted five minutes but was worth it). #gladiator2 #christophernolan #ridleyscott

And finally, photos of my dad and me when we visited the Beaches of Normandy.
I loved visiting Mac in Brooklyn. He even taught me how to play Blackjack when I was about 4, and I somehow never needed to be taught again! His memory is our blessing. 3/3

1) The 4th Division shoulder patch, which is also a reference to its nickname the “Ivy Division.”
2) The 79th Cross of Lorraine: a gray Lorraine cross on a blue shield with a gray border.
3) Mac’s Expert Infantry Badge.

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I’m thinking of my great grandfather Mac (Max Rosenthal). 1 of the soldiers who liberated Ste.-Mère-Église.
1) Mac in 1942.
2) Dog tag and some of the shrapnel removed from his back.
3) His Purple Heart.
4) His Bronze Star.

So fun to see this “rom com drom” as director and co-writer (with Jennifer Westfeldt) Michael Showalter coined it! Then hear Showalter and producer Cathy Schulman talk about making it!

Great to rewatch the fantastic Black Mirror episode “Beyond the Sea” on the big screen. And even better to hear creator Charlie Brooker and stars Josh Hartnett and Kate Mara talk about it afterwards with other members of the talented crew!

Loved seeing the first three episodes of Ripley on the big screen, but the best part was hearing about this film noir series from incredible writer/director Steven Zaillian.

Laughed just as hard at the Succession series finale as when I first watched it and laughed even harder at the panel afterwards. Much less cringing with the panel, though.
