It's hard to talk about this without sounding like a scold, but the explosion of gambling, with everyone walking around with a casino in their pockets, seems really, really bad.

Jonathan Lynn has talked about how the studio didn't want Tomei, and he had to fight for her. This is a great column on why he was right.

There are no heroes anymo—

When your kids ask when they won’t be grounded anymore for pranking you with the lemon party video.

The De Laurentiis 1976 King Kong is on and boy did I forget how horny this ape is.

Sneaking in an anecdote to say, "And while you're gambling, don't also have sex with anyone who's not your wife!" is the most Mormon thing ever.

Not the byline I expected!

"Bombs are vaporizing elementary schools in Iran, but what about the bomb of higher gas prices in the U.S.?"

Nonzero chance the middle schoolers are why he's terrified of the subway—they'd roast his ass so hard.

Gonna be awesome when we get terrorist attacks in the US retaliating for Iran and Republicans don't give a shit because they happen in blue cities.

Excited to keep right on never eating at Chilis

This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.

Talarico: *basically quotes the Bible Republicans: LOL get a load of this crazy guy saying Jesus identified with the poor and downtrodden!

LOL Italy is gonna get a mercy rule win over Team USA at the World Baseball Classic.

This is excellent!

Smarter-than-thou atheism isn’t getting us anywhere. It’s long-past time to embrace this.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right. But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

“I’d like to live somewhere they think mayo is spicy.”

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

It's an American travesty that there is no 4K blu-ray of L.A. Confidential.

When your baseball team has a bunch of players in the WBC and you look at the roster for the 7th inning of a spring training game.

You can buy signed copies of my book and many other fantastic books about film at the best online arts bookstore on the planet.

If you're a powerful creative person, a moment will always arrive when you can do something a little brave that will help people, or refuse to. The book I'm working on right now is in part a history of who did what. All I'll say about this is, it never gets forgotten. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

Pretty weird this doesn’t say “American hero John Astin”

I strongly recommend stealing as much is as humanly possible!

I'm the Narcos waiting meme for my Killers of the Flower Moon 4K.

Remember when Michelle Obama said kids should eat less sugary stuff and the Republican Party went insane? It's almost as if it wasn't about the sugar...

I paid good money for my Mar-a-Lago face and all I got was fired.

Shocker: Man loses function in half his brain and becomes conservative.

We’re going to find out Aunt Beru and General Grievous had a torrid affair and now their baby is being hunted by the evil Cobu Zaranghe, aren’t we?

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

I never thought I'd hate someone as much as I hate Harvey Weinstein, but Zaslav is determined to try.

Defendant: "How should I dress for court?" Attorney: "We've found a Nazi haircut to be effective." Defendant: "On it."

Even the most privileged lives are often mundane, routine. I truly believe things like Jan. 6th and this descent into madness is because a lot of people got bored.

I can’t believe we’re doing “The senate’s in play so we’ve gotta vote for the Nazi sympathizer” thing. The bar is “lower than a gopher’s basement.”

U.S. senators are always like, "Damn, that's crazy—someone should do something!"

I didn't make this, but it needs a reposting.

Oh so it’s like BAD bad.

Wait, from reading the NYT I thought you’re not supposed to interview actual trans people but just talk to “concerned parents” without mentioning that they founded the Society of Anti-Trans Bigots?

This guy fucking rules.

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

I'll do it. I will fire tens of thousands of ICE agents. I will fly around the country like George Clooney and Anna Kendrick in that movie, just firing people all day. Except instead of it crushing my soul each ICE agent firing will bring me joy.
