LOL, Ellen Griswold.

Accurate review of the Netflix series “I Will Find You” from Hollywood Reporter. This show may be the biggest offender of this issue I’ve seen in a long time, sigh. Full review: www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...

A terrier being stuffed into a little sweater in Chicago's Jackson Park. 🐕 This 16mm home movie was shot in 1926, just blocks from what is now the site of the Barack Obama Presidential Center.

Colbert arrives at the Obama Library opening in a tan suit. 😂

The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening! Tune in today on Obama.org starting at 11am CT as Michelle and I share what this moment means to us and celebrate with friends, family, and members of the community in Chicago.

“Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Biden, along with their wives, will be on hand for today’s opening of the Obama Presidential Center. We will note that the current president was not invited.” — NBC5 reporter 😏

“I knew I wasn’t going to be the lead, which was totally fine, but are you telling me that after more than 40 years of friendship, he can’t pick up the phone and say he’d love to throw a few lines my way?” said the extraterrestrial. 😆

Had to reschedule this weekend's Obama Center tickets. First date available? October 26. 😐 FYI...

😮

#OTD in 1902, The Wizard of Oz musical extravaganza opened in Chicago—funded, in part, by a sketchy cure-all medicine called… wait for it… Wizard Oil. 💊💫

I will give him this: Spielberg found the perfect vehicle to showcase (continually) the Spielberg Face.™

28. 😬

Wish you were here, @sodapopandpunkrock.bsky.social! 🍹

Got the loud-ass dreaded iPhone tornado warning. All of us now hunkered in the basement. 😐 #JuneInChicago

"I feel so honored to have worked in this industry for a long time. But it’s also great to live your life and raise your kids and be in Chicago and be a normal person.” — Joan Cusack ❤️

Sheesh. Somehow I missed the fact that (my man) Colin Firth is in “Disclosure Day.”

“I feel like it’s a reverse puberty, in a way. It’s like your body starts to change and be disgusting in new ways. When you’re 12 or 13, you’re like, Why am I so oily? And now you’re like, Why am I so papery?”

Bunnies and birds can no longer get my strawberries! Trash cans from the Dollar Tree. 😀

Read an excerpt about the making of the flying Ferrari scene from a new book on Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Gah, why is this a series and not a movie?? 😐

Best song in "The Blues Brothers" performed live by Taj Mahal, last night at Chicago Blues Festival. 😎

Little Pink Sunrise for You and Me. This morning in Chicago at the Hancock Building.

Finally saw the clip of [redacted] storming out of that “Meet the Press” interview. 🥛🙄

“So have any of you seen ‘Airplane!’ It’s a movie made up entirely of dad jokes.” — Gen Z dude behind me at a restaurant

Humidity finally broke! 🙌🏼

There’s a Mississippi State baseball player named Jack Bauer, and his number is 24. 😆 #HailState

This is some NOLA-level humidity today, Chicago. 😐 #StopIt

“Think pieces” like this are futile, especially if the author refuses to take into account WHY Hollywood genres cycle, dip, and resurface at certain times in history. (Also, the piece’s overriding “squeamish”question makes little sense when discussing horror, doesn’t it?!)

Damn straight.

#NowWatching… mainly ‘cause of Steve Coogan. 🩷 #Hamlet2Forever

Hungry.

Can't believe a bird hasn't eaten it yet! 🍓

Before reading, I guessed everyone but Maron and Sykes would be styled by someone else. (Captions below their pics read “Maron’s own clothes” and “Sykes’ own clothes.” 😆)

Wouldya look at THIS CITY? 😍

Found on side of road. Will name him Pierre.

"The tourism slowdown is bad news for the U.S. economy. The U.S. received 2.6 million international visitors in April 2026, down 14.1% from the previous year. [...] And in 2025, foreign visitor spending fell by $8.4 billion compared with the previous year." (Everything he touches... 💩)

The Untouchables was released #OTD in 1987. Your favorite scene filmed in Chicago?

Will Jane Pauley, Lesley Stahl, Norah O'Donnell, Lee Cowan, and the rest follow Pelley’s (or Anderson Cooper’s) lead? 🤞

Perfect. Day. ☀️

The Obama Presidential Center opens this month and it looks ready to receive people from all over. I spent a few moments on Saturday evening capturing the campus with a fiery sunset as the backdrop. Love the warm glow from within, too

Am here for the takedown(s) by Mr. Pelley. 😏

Chicago Marie Illinois, why do I need a blanket on the porch IN JUNE?! 😐

Time for the annual funnel cake!

😏

Jennifer Hudson? John Cusack? Buddy Guy? Chance the Rapper? Simone Biles? Michael Shannon? (Do the Obamas count?)

Updated version! Still in: Vanilla Ice ✔️ Now out: Bret Michaels ❌
