anyways, here is the segment in full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIm6... (it will be really funny if CBS tries to use DMCA requests to get youtube and other sites to take these down)

If you’ve never seen #NeverSayGoodbye, it’s worth checking out today at 6 PM EST on #TCMParty. It’s a romantic comedy that manages to be sexy and funny, and Errol Flynn rarely gave a more winning performance. The script is a bit haphazard, but he and Eleanor Parker steam up the screen, so who cares?

Thanks largely to my participation in the great @screendrafts.bsky.social podcast, I watched some splendid movies this past year. My @letterboxd.social list of my favorite 20 first-time watches (in order of release date), not counting 2025 releases: boxd.it/QKLbc

The decision to degrade the national cultural center of the United States by sticking the presidential oaf’s name up there in front of Kennedy’s was unanimous - once dissenters had been silenced.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Well, shit.

Reiner tragedy proving once again most people do not understand how hard it is to get mental health treatment for a non-compliant adult

Almost all of LA has been in a very quiet and contemplative mood for nearly 48 hours that few public figures would ever inspire.

Fascinating thread. Why is this breaking through when so much hasn't? I think it's 2 things. 1) Never underestimate the emotional intensity of people's relationships to entertainment figures. And 2) How to behave when someone is murdered is the simplest, lowest-bar character test in all of politics.

When I was depressed I thought everyone's life is defined by the worst thing that happens to them; the joy people are taking in Rob Reiner's work proves how wrong I was. Just as importantly, life on Earth is not defined by the worst things people do & say—please don't let this convince you otherwise

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

A Few Good Men. Best in Show. A Mighty Wind. Miss Congeniality. Barcelona. All three movies in Linklater's "Before" trilogy. Music & Lyrics. Michael Clayton. All films that were able to be made because of the production company Reiner co-founded in order to give talented filmmakers creative freedom.

Many, many hours of joy my whole life due to Rob Reiner.

I knew it! Starbucks is using POWDER this year not ACTUAL egg nog, the cheap bastards!!!

A heads-up to my physical media brothers and sisters -- especially if you're concerned about access to the WB catalogue in light of recent events -- Movie Zyng is doing a big Warner Archive year-end Buy 3, Get 30% off sale (plus free shipping over $70) with the code WARNER2025. Linky:

POLICE ACADEMY 5: ASSIGNMENT MIAMI BEACH

You will be visited by 3 spirits.

Well, I like this. :)

What I’ve been up to! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Hello. Here's my annual awards-season reminder/gripe that y'all are using the word "snub" incorrectly. Kisses and hugs, Bryan

if I could only listen to one kind of music for the rest of my life, the answer would be Memphis soul. RIP Steve Cropper, whose guitar and production defined the Stax sound as much as Booker T’s organ or Otis Redding’s shout

So I ended up doing exactly this (well not every episode but...) and it's not pointed out often enough that almost everybody uses this meme wrong. (Don is intensely jealous of / threatened by Ginsberg and thinks about him constantly!)

Why has no one manufactured a nutcracker modeled after Nosferatu in the Robert Eggers movie?

Tom Stoppard. Had the pleasure of seeing his plays performed many times -- my two faves being a student performance of THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND, in the summer of '94 when I was at Interlochen Arts camp, and the wonderful 2000 revival of THE REAL THING w/ Stephen Dillane and Jennifer Ehle. RIP

Good morning! I took the opportunity of the BEATLES ANTHOLOGY's streaming debut to write about THE COMPLEAT BEATLES, the (imho) far superior Fab Four doc, and why, because of the ANTHOLOGY, it's so hard to see. Gift link, no paywall: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/m...

The problem, as ever, is there are too many great options!

Incredible news for LA movie fans. The @amcinematheque.bsky.social continues to do the Lord’s work! www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I remember this very well. This was must-see TV. And I had aged out of the show by then!

one of the best commercials ever made.

Matthew MacFayden is truly superb in #DeathByLightning on @netflix.com.

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

There are about a million things wrong with entertainment journalism these days, but one of my biggest sticking points is that I would give anything to dedicate time to hyping up hidden gems and independent productions, but no one (who will also pay) is willing to platform pieces about them.

Ach! For this 80s Beltway kid, this park was WILD WORLD. The Wild One (108 years old!) was my first roller coaster. This is a bummer, man. www.timeout.com/usa/news/its...

Career highlight! This summer I went to Fraunces Tavern with Ken Burns to talk about American history. That interview is now live at @vanityfair.com www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Today is Lee Grant's 100th birthday. This remarkable movie/TV/stage actress and filmmaker is the definition of a survivor. Read up on her fascinating life. Better yet, see her movies! (Also, if you can hunt down anything from her Emmy-winning run on Peyton Place, totally worth it.)

Freeeeeeeeman

Will Klein! Wow. #dodgers

🚨Attn Classic Film Fans🚨 The ERROL FLYNN Draft with @bryancogman.bsky.social & Maureen Lee Lenker will now be... ...the FLYNN & DE HAVILLAND SUPER DRAFT, premiering in early November! All 8 films starring the iconic pairing will make the list - what do you want to see at the top? The bottom?!

Tired: “Frankenstein isn’t the monster” Wired: “William Powell isn’t the Thin Man” Inspired: “Tim Conway and Don Knotts aren’t the Apple Dumpling Gang”

That was incredible. OHTANI. #Dodgers

PSA for LA-based @screendrafts.bsky.social listeners. Remember when I was raving about 'Love and Death' on the podcast recently? The good people at the @amcinematheque.bsky.social are showing it next month (along with several other Diane Keaton classics).

Every time I see 'The Archers' trending I think for a split-second that Powell & Pressburger's films are enjoying some kind of huge resurgence with the kids today and then I come to my senses...

good morning. watch Reds.

Remember when there were TWO big studio Christopher Columbus movies released the same year? That was weird.

This is a lovely interview of Tim Curry from @michaelschulman.bsky.social.

Diane Keaton was always a genre unto herself. On and off screen, she was effortlessly funny, achingly honest, and unafraid to mirror back to us what it means to be human in an impossible world. We love you, Diane, and we’ll celebrate you on our big screen and in our video store til the end of time.

One of her finest line readings

I’m absolutely heartbroken. Along with Olivia de Havilland, my favorite screen actress of all time. (Pictured here in 1981‘s REDS) Rest in Peace.
