Right on.

Have been getting some interview queries lately from HuffPost... www.huffpost.com/entry/jd-van...

Yes, best dad movie...if you're into, you know, "home sweet home, the family, all that crap."

"Must remain in seats for entirety of film."

"I can't give you anything but love, baby."

"...an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy..."

Goddess.

Such a fun picture!

Yes. This.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

The New Yorker published this powerful piece by Jelani Cobb on MLK day, shortly after the murder of Renee Good, shortly before the murder of Alex Pretti. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Thinking of this Neil Young classic, written in a cold fury after the killings at Kent State: youtu.be/YdVMGKOFIwY

What the?! OK, I'm in.

Am I the last cinephile to have discovered this shot of Dalton Trumbo editing in the tub?? Waldo Lydecker, eat your heart out!

Also known as: Deadly Is the Female. Badda bing!

1/20/96: Paul Thomas Anderson's Hard Eight w/Philip Baker Hall + John C Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel Jackson, Philip Seymour Hoffman More @johnneyred.bsky.social / @cinephiliabeyond.org: cinephiliabeyond.org/hard-eight-a... @scotttobias.bsky.social: thereveal.substack.com/p/on-philip-...

Also Lou Grant's girlfriend in several eps of Mary Tyler Moore Show!

Thrilled to see Point Blank now coming from @criterion.bsky.social: www.criterion.com/films/32290-... We just discussed this landmark film on That 70s movie podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/2U26...

That‘s the way it crumbles, 2025-wise.

There might be another Christmas song that refers to candy cigarettes. But it’s doubtful? m.youtube.com/watch?v=rkOl...

Read this, folks!

Super analysis of the 60 Minutes situation from @michaelsocolow.bsky.social linttrapofhistory.substack.com/p/8-things-b...

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Regardless of media format, archivists and knowledge-preservers are always vital. This is what democracy looks like.

download your own copy. make this thing samizdat, until CBS is forced to air it.

Archivists gonna archive! ✊🏼

60 Minutes gets high viewer numbers, but this censored segment could easily get more viewers than it would have gotten via normal TV airing. How do you make people want to see something? Tell them they cannot. Just keep posting and reposting this thing.

Right on.

I'm still able to download it, but just in case I've re-uploaded it here drive.google.com/file/d/1GRcg... and here drive.proton.me/urls/X8C14W3...

This was exactly the social media post I needed to see toda. 🤓

The only image we get of Broadview appears to be a drone shot. The ICE crisis is documented in the streets, but once people are detained, images disappear, and we only see from afar. Consider the gut-wrenching drone shots of other facilities, with detainees spelling out SOS with their bodies.

"Holy fucking dumpster fire." Right-o.

Part two of my interview about my new Nashville book is the cover story here: www.rorotoko.com !

So is this censored 60 Minutes segment gonna get leaked or what?

Discomfort. Relief.

Always a treat to find a new lady-at-the-typewriter GIF.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Nashville book is hot this week! 💥🔥⚡️

I'm looking forward to Michael's next book: "The elevator pitch for the book was the following question: Why did the U.S.A. have only two national networks at the dawn of network broadcasting? Why not 5? Why not 7? Why not 20?"

I named my fists Random and Harvest, but I don't remember why.

Unbought and unbossed!

Purchased!

What a treat it would be to be able to see this one on 35mm!

Watching tonight. And why not? I had the strangest dream last night…

Orville Etoria, a Jamaican national who’d lived in New York for nearly 50 years, was shackled and put on an ICE flight to Eswatini. “It helped me imagine how the slaves might have felt, going to another land in shackles and chains,” he said. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/dLJ4SQ

What could go wrong?

Part one of my interview about my new Nashville book is up on the Rorotoko home page. Check it out! You'll learn lots about the book but, I promise, no spoilers, so you're safe if you haven't seen the film yet. www.rorotoko.com/11/20251121-...

Love this movie so much!!!
