A lifesize bronze statue of Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert is coming to Chicago's Prudential Plaza in 2028. The statue will be installed outside of the plaza's north entrance. It will give fans a chance to sit in two theater seats & take a photo with the bronze figures of the legendary film critics.

A Hitch-full weekend! REAR WINDOW is often my favorite film, with only THE THIN MAN nudging it aside. (This meme would have been far funnier if they had added the poor dog.) #TCMParty #RearWindow

Located on the Cape Fear River, Fergus’ Ark (1952-65) was known for its fresh seafood and having a decommissioned battleship crash into it at the dock. That’s a big oopsie. I’ll have the Lobster Newberg with lemon chiffon pie and iced tea please Fergus’ Ark Wilmington NC 1950s #VintageMenus

People are saying, "but the best line is..." Well, every damn one is the best one! Still, it's important that Homer is on screen some 3,000 years later and that movies still expose racism.

‘Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺 into iambic pentameter. In one interview, he cited my version of it: “Tell me about a complicated man.” But I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.’ New, by Emily Wilson www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Watch for the "spaghetti" scene in #BabyBoom tonight! I just finished writing about it for #HollywoodBites ! In general, food is extremely important to the film-character development, scene, and plot. And it stars the great Diane Keaton-we girls can't seem to get over her loss. #TCMParty

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Just saw Micky Dolenz celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Monkees in concert. He's 81 and can still belt like he did 40 years ago when I first saw him on the '86 reunion tour. He sang for 2 hours tonight and the all-ages audience loved it — from cosplaying teenagers to senior citizens. #MusicSky

So sad...

My hometown grocery store is closing after 45 years. It was the site of a memorably awkward stop and chat between me, an ex-girlfriend, and her new boyfriend in 1997, and I'm told a commemorative plaque is planned.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Reminder that Nexstar owns Antenna TV and Rewind TV and Sinclair owns Comet TV and CHARGE!. Watching classic TV should not require that we support collaborators of this lawless administration. #ClassicTV #Nexstar #Sinclair #Kimmel

Nexstar and Sinclair will not air "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on their ABC affiliated stations tonight — even though Nexstar and Sinclair are paying ABC for the right to carry their programming. In affected markets, viewers will have to sign up for Hulu to watch full episodes — which also benefits DIsney.

DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

Harry Enten: "This is an abject disaster for the president. Voters on Trump on inflation - look at where his net approval stands today on inflation. My goodness gracious! Into the gutter we do. H's 25 points underwater! ... the wrath the voters feel for Trump is transferring over to Republicans."

In the Barton Hills in Bedfordshire today, I watched a meadow brown, bumblebees, & six-spot burnet moths on devil’s-bit scabious, while a hoverfly fed on knapweed—a summer feast for our #PollinatorPals and a reminder of how wildflowers sustain life in our meadows. #WildflowerHour

Estelle - “I’ll have what she’s having” - Reiner’s “cheesies.” My partner Rebecca grew up in New Rochelle near Carl Reiner and Estelle gave her mom the recipe for this snack after a party. Had to come from a 1950s women’s mag.
