You know who was great?
Claudia Cardinale.
Terrific actress, fine human being, never became a fascist. Also extraordinarily beautiful.
She was a feminist and a UNESCO goodwill ambassador.
She died earlier this year. Just remembering her today for no particular reason.

@sulli864.bsky.social I recommend this forgotten 1975 telemovie based on a true story I'm sure you are familiar with. Many familiar faces from 1970s cop shows, NYC location work, solid acting and writing. Flawed but much better than I expected. rarefilmm.com/2022/04/fost...

I thought I was a Mancini fan, but I'm only a pretender because I had no idea he once collaborated with John Laws.
I'm not sure I want to hear this album, but I feel I must.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

Oasis stadium jaunt ends (for now), it has been odd seeing how massively they’re loved, and also odd that it is seen as churlish to critique it. For me, they inescapably represent the worst of the 90s, the banterous homophobia, the conservatism. It made life miserable & I struggle to get over that.

It seems that Kaleb Horton has passed away. A devastating loss. One of the best writers of this generation. Kaleb was a friend for ten years and in all our conversations I was trying to convince him how good he was, something he seemed to know but also never fully believe. I am going to go cry now.

Kimmel's show put together a montage of Trump insisting dozens of times yesterday to "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." Complete insanity.
