Even their strongly-worded letters have no backbone.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

I also want to say thank you to the person who introduced me to the French word 'beaucoup' this year. It means a lot.

Me and the boys

he can name everything after himself like DC is his own personal failed casino. it doesn’t matter. the moment he’s outta power it all comes down. i’ll show up with a chisel and pry that shit off the building myself.

I like the way he thinks..

“I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.”

The Grinch Connection

"Come come, Mr. Bond. It's just a jump to the left."

Saw a TV spot for SONG SUNG BLUE that's just clips of Jackman singing as "Sweet Caroline" blasts and Hudson being supportive and I wonder how many will go in thinking it's a Neil Diamond bio.

Watching DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. I'm sorry, say what Ms. Case?

Oh man just kill it already, jfc.

“I don’t care what anyone says, I like that movie.”

Dr. Szell's got nothing on this level of torture.

Is he gonna bring up how much he spent on that outfit?

WITHNAIL & I / THE HOLDOVERS

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it. The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?" "An obituary." "Obituaries aren't on the front page." "This one will be."

Revisiting one of my favorite Rob Reiner films, STAND BY ME, which I probably watch about once a year. And then this. That last line always hit me hard, especially after the untimely death of my own best friend from age 12, but tonight the first line stopped me cold. Farewell to a true GOAT.

WITHNAIL & I / THE HOLDOVERS

The line to piss on his grave will be so long we'll have to buy tickets weeks in advance.

Finally caught up with ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER yesterday. Immediately watched it again today. Pretty sure it'll end up as my favorite of '25. Have always loved Jim Downey but his line reading here is an all-timer.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

Thanks, I’ve seen the Trump post, no need to keep sharing it, it’s poison

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

For years, my memory of STAND BY ME was that it was epic. Like 2+ hrs maybe. The four kids, their odyssey, the flashbacks and set-pieces. So much happens. Only recently did I realize it runs 89(!) mins. All that story and feeling, it never once feels rushed or slight. Another reason why it endures.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK / 1941

I’m sorry, I know it’s supposed to be a very serious and good movie but I can’t read “Hamnet” without picturing a “Muppet Show” parody of “Dragnet” where all the characters are pigs.

Happy "1941" Day to all who celebrate

Thinking about those gorgeous lens flares in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

Happy PSYCHO "No, Not That One, The Other One" Day.

Haven't trusted him since he broke Gina's heart on MIAMI VICE.

Cool for Disney to make all their IP public domain.

One of those films where you think, “Haha! If only it was as half as deranged as the poster!” and it is.

William Hurt, Albert Brooks and Holly Hunter in James L. Brooks' BROADCAST NEWS. New at Mr. Peel's Sardine Liqueur. mrpeelsardineliqueur.blogspot.com/2025/12/an-u...

On this day in 1983, moviegoers got their first look at one of our favorite girly movies: Brian De Palma’s “Scarface.” crookedmarquee.com/scarface-is-...

Fox in the yard this am.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

Great to know Cliff Booth's old friend kept working through the 80s and even got a gig on TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.

This is the most Starship Troopers coded shit. Paul Verhoeven is like, "shit I should have gone further"

Who told Randall Park that was a good bit?

Only the coolest Felix Leiters wore sunglasses.

Snapped some photos of the Pennsylvania countryside from the train the other day.

Warhol superstar Mary Woronov, known for her sangfroid in the midst of the nutty Factory denizens, was BOTD in 1943, turning 82 today. She went on to have a cult movie career after her Warhol days and also wrote one of the best books about the Factory, "Swimming Underground"
