Whenever I watch “Rain Man,” I always wonder what Charlie and Raymond’s father did for a living to leave behind a mansion in Cincinnati and a $3 million trust fund in 1988. The 1949 Buick Roadmaster is a clue: Seats *used to* be brown leather, and he didn’t want anyone else driving it at night.

Finally watched “All That Jazz.”Always heard it was a masterpiece but didn’t think it’d be for me. Got it as a birthday gift—watched Friday night—and now it’s in my Top 10. That final TV scene with Ben Vereen & Jessica Lange? Pure #psychedeliccinema. #FilmClub #MovieNight #criterioncollection

WWE keeps betting big on celebrities in the ring, but I’m honestly still shocked at how seriously #BadBunny took it—he trained hard. But #TravisScott flopped, and now they’re setting up #JellyRoll vs. #LoganPaul? This is getting wild. Are we really doing this again? #WWE #wrestling #celebritymatches

#criterioncollection should try to make this one of their future releases. This film is more relevant now than ever. #cyberpunk #cultclassic #80smovies youtu.be/-aH39gQu-X8?...
