Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Paramount have an incredible documentary called PREDATORS that they picked up at Sundance, all about the complicated legacy of To Catch A Predator. I hope it doesn’t get somehow lost or forgotten in the Skydance merger.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

All this talk about the need for “civics.” But when Trump is walking around saying about going to war with Iran “I haven’t decided yet”; and “maybe I will; maybe I won’t”, how many media outlets are reminding Americans that Art. 1, Sec 8 grants the power to declare war to CONGRESS. Do your job.
