I’m literally screaming. I went to college in chicago and visited @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social so many times. Now, a movie I shot is playing there. Pinch me. musicboxtheatre.com/films-and-ev...

In case you missed it. It runs a little long but boy, does it get pedantic (The review, that is—the movie is pretty awesome.)

Ah, that moment of vague embarrassment when you sorta recall getting inexplicably—okay, maybe not that inexplicably—snacky while watching Willie Nelson and realizing that your intended lunch has already been consumed. . .

Man, my pop culture streams are crossing with a vengeance. Oddly, not only will I be seeing F133D in the same locale where I first caught it 43 years ago, it is in a town called Crystal Lake

Once upon a time,according to an unimpeachable source, my chance to appear on a @Disney-produced show was scotched when it was determined that, in so many words, that I was too unattractive for TV. That decision made sense, I suppose. This @jimmykimmel stuff, however, is bullshit

Good news, @disney , I thought of just the person to replace Kimmel. He’s free and when he started out, he worked with a guy who also worked in the porn world and for the 2nd-most-corrupt presidential admin—the perfect guy to appease your oleaginous overlord.

Just got out of #Him and for the moment, the best thing I can say is that due to a technical snafu, the theater did not show the half hour of previews beforehand, so at least I got out early. . .

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

I assume the next move by the @Disney empire will be to scrap the release of the new Predator film after MAGA dipshits make mistaken assumptions about who the title is referencing. . .

No review of #OneBattleAfterAnother for a few days—it isn’t the kind of film where you want to just bash out something quickly. Suffice it to say, though, it is indeed something and is so audacious, radical and timely (and Pynchonesque) that it feels as if it was somehow produced in the last week.

Not to be that guy but what is going to be more grotesque—Redford obit headlines stressing that he was in a Captain America movie over more noteworthy titles or the well-meaning but gross cartoons where he is treated at the pearly gates by Butch Cassidy?

Did you come away from The Life of Chuck thinking that it was just too gritty and hard-edged for your taste? Boy howdy, do I have a movie for you. . .

Today Raven Geary of @unraveledpress.com reports on the spate of kidnappings and violence against immigrants in the Chicago area over the past week or so including a man who was shot to death by ICE on Friday. www.welcometohellworld.com/theyre-kidna...

Cris Collinsworth strikes me as the kind of guy who would be inordinately excited over the fact that Krull is coming out on 4K this week—one of the few areas where, if true, we would be simpatico. . .

So yes, I managed to get my COVID shot today and, quite frankly, @SecKennedy and all those other anti-vaxx types can go fuck themselves

youtube.com/watch?v=VkgN... As always, I prefer to remember this date as the birthday of my all-time favorite filmmaker. . .

Cris Collinsworth strikes me as the kind of guy who is barely interesting enough to sustain one tedious joke per week, let alone two. . .
