The Trump Battleship Prototype Design

I'll be introducing one of my fave films tomorrow night at the Aero Theater. If you haven't seen this one on the big screen, here's your chance! www.americancinematheque.com/now-showing/...

Just read Rob Reiner and his wife were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. This horrific crime occurring on the same day of the slaughter of 15 members of the Australian Jewish community at a beach celebration for Hanukkah & the Brown University shootings fills me with despair

An anniversary piece on a fave film that opened 75 years ago in the city that it was filmed www.nola.com/entertainmen...

Ida directed several of the best HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL episodes

Now a kiosk of shops and a book store

This is exactly why I dislike going to first run movies. The brain dead ads and endless previews at ear-splitting volume are asinine and valueless. In particular, the unendurable“Noovie” preview show might be one of the most annoyingly vapid creations ever screened theatrically.

What happened in the Oval Office today was a complete and utter disgrace. After serving this country in uniform for over twenty years, I am both sickened and embarrassed by what these two jackasses are doing to America.

Gene Hackman and Spencer Tracy: You could never catch either one of them acting…ever. Hackman was the finest actor of his generation as Tracy was of his. We will not see his like anytime soon.

Another ancillary benefit of MAGA: Having a moron in charge of the nation’s health care www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/h...

A day late but wanted to acknowledge National Pet Day and my constant companion of 17+ years

Finally had the opportunity to write and record a commentary track for a movie prominently featuring my late pal Dick Erdman. An important film… coming soon!

This resignation letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York City is worth reading. There is no basis in law or logic for the AG to dismiss felony charges against the Mayor of New York. It is a corrupt bargain courtesy of Trump. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
