Happy 80th.

Truly confounded by the mixed response to THE HISTORY OF SOUND. What a devastating film, with the most rich, soulful performance from Paul Mescal. In a just world, he'd be a Best Actor shoo-in.

Happy 45th.

Happy 50th.

What a pleasure to talk to Stan Zimmerman about writing for The Golden Girls, Roseanne, and the Gilmore Girls. www.rogerebert.com/interviews/s...

George Carlin was quite brilliant. That’s why I used him for a part in The Prince Of Tides. Incredible comedian who also was quite serious as you can see here.

The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

R.I.P. Claudia Cardinale - no one held the screen like she did.

I’ve said this before, but I hate when people say Bob Fosse won “an Oscar, a Tony, and an Emmy in 1973.” It was an Oscar, two Tonys (his total is nine), and three Emmys.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The only way forward is to inflict as much financial AND publicity damage on Disney as possible as swiftly as possible. Cancel streaming subscriptions, boycott products, picket, encourage politicians and entertainment figures to shout about this from the housetops. Demonstrate the cost of cowardice.

John Kander looking great at 98!

What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

More than any other movie, ORDINARY PEOPLE means the world to me. Eternally grateful for it and countless other Robert Redford projects. Farewell, sir. ❤️
