The original 1984 ‘Supergirl’ is “a mostly refreshing blast from the past,” @edwinarnaudin.bsky.social contends, “an entertaining and sometimes frustrating reminder that comic book movies weren’t always as polished as they are today.”

A letter from conservatives to the Trump Justice Department prompted the investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center. Several right-wing extremist groups — including Moms for Liberty and Turning Point USA — sent a letter to Stephen Miller urging greater scrutiny of the civil rights org.

I probably wouldn't know about it were it not for @taghiamirani.com's excellent documentary COUP 53.

Back on the Marquee, this time looking for the good in SUPERGIRL (1984), a not great film with plenty of charm that's begat a not great reboot with not a lot of charm that's in theaters starting today. Thanks as always to @jasondashbailey.com for the opportunity!

Sweep the Yankees at home? Trade Devers for peanuts. Win by 16 on the road against a division foe? Fire Cora. Make it make sense.

oh do news reporters know what it's like to be a public school teacher now

“Even if Robin Gunningham is Banksy, precisely what happens in this feature remains deliciously cloudy and keeps it one of the most rewatchable movies of the 21st century,” @edwinarnaudin.bsky.social writes of ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’:

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face: Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences. For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.

I can't recall a time when more talented reporters and writers on movies and culture who have real skill and knowledge are struggling to find a foothold. We live in an "Everyone's an expert" era. But everyone isn't. Editors: Please take a chance on folks you haven't tried before. Read their clips!

Great week of new movie releases for people named Grace.

If you didn't watch all eight LEPRECHAUN movies to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, you're doing it...right.

Kraushaar is just a straight up bigot who gets off on the idea of bombing Iranians

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

How Stupid are 'Americans'? This stupid:

No president or defense secretary in modern memory has been less qualified, less knowledgeable, or more emotionally unfit to wage war than Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

Wild way to find out MAGA hasn't seen THE LION KING.

In 2019, the thing that got Dems to stop avoiding conflict and fight Trump directly was that he got caught corrupting foreign policy to cheat in his own election. Self-preservation made it impossible to ignore. Whatever Trump has planned for 2026 is already underway. So Dems need that mindset back.

This is what embodying the American spirit looks like. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us. H/t @jamestalarico.bsky.social

The deputy AG said they’re done reviewing the Epstein Files because jelly bellied cuntwaffling is exhausting & they’re tired of redacting Trump, who was never on the Island & is completely exonerated after being mentioned thousand of times by ppl he never ever ever knew. Ever.
