I was lucky enough to get to briefly chat with Rob Reiner just once. It was about SPINAL TAP. Even if I never got to have more time with him, I wish he had more time with all of us. Thank you for the movies. On a scale of 1 to 10, you were an 11.

If you want to celebrate the life of Rob Reiner tonight and you haven't seen it, the documentary about his best friend, ALBERT BROOKS: DEFENDING MY LIFE, is as much about Brooks as it is Reiner's love for his lifelong best friend. As fall down hilarious as it is sweet & touching. It's a must see.

I talked to Jim Carrey, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Rick Baker, and others (including the uncredited writers!) for an oral history of the 2000 film HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, one of the strangest holiday movies ever made. www.vulture.com/article/how-...

Jerry Seinfeld originally was cast in the Dustin Hoffman role, but was fired after the two weeks. Not for his performance, but because he was taller than Tom Cruise.

Most days I am discouraged by how journalism in this country has been systematically dismantled and destroyed. Hopefully the next generation like these students here can build it back better.

Lots of interesting what-ifs in this item from Dec. 14, 1946. But perhaps most noteworthy to me is that Ida Lupino, on the verge of leaving Warners studio, effectively cedes a major role to Bette Davis—turning on its head the oft-repeated idea that Lupino only was given Davis rejects at that studio.

Trump threatened Indiana Republicans that if they didn't do what he wanted, he'd block all federal funds to their state but they ignored his threats and told him to pound sand. Take notes, college presidents.

In honor of Frank Sinatra's birthday today, I am going to have my son fake his own kidnapping. Oh wait, I don't have a son, do I?

Paramount already has Landman. They can’t buy WB and get Aquaman too. That’s clearly unconstitutional.

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

My condolences to anyone caught up in a natural disaster in the next couple of years with this nutbag in charge of things.

Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

If it weren't for the jokes, could SILVER STREAK be considered noir or at least noir-ish? Discuss.

#TrekPolitics isn’t just about the political allegory in #StarTrek, we also have fun pointing out the quirky details during our #Bobservations segments. In this case, Mary Trump and Bob Cesca discuss some Kirkisms from “A Taste of Armageddon” (TOS). 🖖 trekpolitics.com to watch!

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.

A few months ago I was at a bar playing this episode on the tv with my best friend who had never seen it. Watching her absolutely horrified reaction as the story’s last minutes played out was like seeing them for the first time myself.

Literally exactly what the Founders worried about. Exactly.

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that: (1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year (2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?
