The reason people outside of France didn't know Brigitte Bardot was a huge racist is because America already dominates the market in elderly racist celebrities - as they do every cultural product.

A million things to hate about the media landscape but for now I'm not worried about "the Letterboxd-ification of film criticism," as I saw one older critic put it. I think it's neat that the kids have an app where they're talking about, for example, The Piano Teacher (2001)

Chevy Chaseās huge popularity in the 1970s is easily explained. Widely considered āa strong 7,ā he was the handsomest man to ever do comedy up to that point. Also, he was in his mid 30s, making him, at the time, the youngest man ever allowed on TV.

RIP Brigitte Bardot. You were in one movie I liked. Apparently you were also racist. And undeniably, you were famous. And so, like all humans, you contained multitudes.

Playing old Ebert & Roeper episodes while I do chores. Itās awesome how much Ebert liked movies. Heās just throwing his thumb up recklessly. Roeper just called The Fighting Temptations āsitcom stuffā and Ebert, who of course gives it thumbs-up, counters, āBut this IS a sitcom!ā

RIP to the god Bob Burns. One of Hollywoodās greatest gorilla-suit guys. Surely the last living person who was close friends with Glenn Strange. One of the last guys to know Ed Wood during his ā50s heyday. The god of Monster Kids everywhere.

Been doing a little research into the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes franchise and I've discovered that George Clooney often brings up his appearance in Return of the Killer Tomatoes (1988) in interviews as a joke. And I frankly think he needs to learn to have some respect.

Martin Scorsese once called The Bellboy (1960) "a virtual dictionary of visual thought." Most professional film critics have never said anything that Iāve thought about it that much.
