Yes I will be fighting back against the unjust firing by @washingtonpost.com. I have filed a grievance and will be represented by none other than the amazing @katiephang.bsky.social and an incredible legal team. Journalistic freedom is a bedrock of a healthy society and is worth battling for.

Stevie + Prince + En Vogue = fun! youtu.be/61-WnnpOtsU

They named a bridge in Boston after Bill Russell today. How long before some White dudes deface it? (Bad Odie...not!)

ELEANOR THE GREAT...is TURRRRRRRRIBLE!!!! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/24/a...

Awesome project. I plan on asking a family member to contribute.

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

I gotta combat the DEAD POETS SOCIETY love out here. I wrote this at @slantmagazine.com when it turned 25. www.slantmagazine.com/film/summer-...

Boy do I want to read Black and Mexican critics on ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. All I'll say is that I now know why White male critics are dancing the Hucklebuck over it.

Come at me, VistaVision Leonardo DiCaprio.

In THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST 2, Jesus' cross will have wheels.

The one thing I've learned in the 19 years I've written professionally about film is: Muthafuckas DON'T READ. They see a headline or read one paragraph before they write me screaming. Everything I write IS A TRAP. I know how far you got before you started bitching, which makes you look stupid. READ!

I think I was about 40 before I realized the lyric in "September" was "only blue talk and love." Ba-dee-yah.

The only Rapture that's happening next week: youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g

Decades ago, I worked with a Chinese guy who firmly believed that the Rapture was going to happen in a week. He prepared for it, and didn't come to work that day. I told him that if the Rapture didn't happen, I was going to whip his ass. He knew better than to show up the day after "the Rapture."

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

Last night at the bar, my bartender told the White guy I was talking to that I am the film critic of The Boston Globe. Dude gave me that LETHAL WEAPON 2 look: Guy: I won't listen to your friend here! You can't possibly be writing for The Boston Globe! Me: Why not? Guy: Because you're BLICK!

When celebrities take to social media to complain about film critics, I always see it as a sign that they knew they made a piece of shit--and now they're trying to defend it. Marlon Wayans is the latest. The Black folks I know who saw it were far meaner than me. They wanted their damn money back.

Happy EWF day! youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk

On the COLUMBO I am revisiting, Sgt. O'Rourke from F-TROOP gets kill-ded so the murderer can make his own MEGALOPOLIS!

Off to my 70mm date with Lone Starr, Barf, Dark Helmet, Princess Vespa, Prince Valium, President Skroob, King Roland, Col. Sanders, Dot Matrix and a buncha Assholes. BTW, my luggage combination is 1-2-3-4-5-6. Let's hope Pizza sends out for me. And may the Schwartz be with you. youtu.be/mFfcfUx-skE

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

I'm seeing SPACEBALLS in 70mm this afternoon! 70mm! Where the real money from the movie is made!

This is so true. Black women as canaries in the coal mine. Please listen. youtube.com/shorts/mTk1n...

All ya gotta do is mention Jesus in a song, and it's a "modern day spiritual."

I always knew Fred and Barney were fuckin'!

I'm sorry, but THE HISTORY OF SOUND is a bore. Tired of these dainty gay movies afraid to show sex or passion. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/18/a...

Time for Norma Desmond and Max at NYFF! Without her, there'd be no Paramount Studios! www.filmlinc.org/nyff2025/fil...

The AMC Bedbugs are laughing at you while dancing to SHAKE IT OFF.

This is like the end of THEY LIVE, but stupid.

I just found myself singing this for no particular reason. Maybe I was nostalgic for the old Frankie Crocker show on WBLS. youtu.be/v0Qs5Ln12Hw

Some great Redford choices from my Ebert site colleagues! Have a read. (I would have chosen SNEAKERS or THE STING for my article.)

For the night crowd. HIM is the worst film I saw in 2025 so far. A total waste of time. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/18/a...

A question for right wingers: You have everything you want. Why you still angry? youtube.com/shorts/Da18u...

Now that I won't have to see this trailer anymore which has been in front of every new movie I've seen the last 2-3 months, I can finally say that I have never been more baffled by a premise combined with such a non-expressive film title as this.

I'll see this great review, and raise you mine: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/18/a...

As a former techie who did demos for over three decades, I never blamed the Wi-Fi when my shit blew up. But then again, when I started in tech, Wi-Fi didn't exist. Also, unlike most of the tech bros I worked with, I am a damn good improviser who has stage presence. So, I never looked like an idiot.

A friend once said to me "why do you always make that face that says leave me the eff alone?" "It's very simple," I responded. "Because I want people to leave me the eff alone." This is why I don't play poker. My face hides nothing. If I don't like you, you know immediately that I can't stand you.
