Bent the Slasher Film rules to include THE SWINGING BARMAIDS, and I regret nothing.
My far less interesting Gere elevator story: we were waiting for a trip down to the lobby of the L.A. Four Seasons. They were down a car. We waited and waited and waited. A frustrated Gere finally picked up the courtesy phone and, *ding*, our chariot arrived. He looked at me and said, "That worked!"
I wrote about learning how to “pick my battles” after Richard Gere chased me down a hotel hallway
Waiting for @pattonoswalt.bsky.social to swing in here with an appreciation of Strawberry.
Dallas' death in ALIEN was a stunner when I was a kid. Loved watching Skerritt become a gray-haired sex symbol in the '80s (and a Guess jeans model!) then, later, a Presbyterian father figure in A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. What a blessed run.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.
This is a terrible loss. Ann wrote for a mainstream outlet, but she knew the medium and made a case for oddities. I loved her appearances on THE TONY KORNHEISER SHOW. She adored movies. I disagreed vehemently with her at times, but that's what cinephiles do. Eternal respect.
Oh, this is awful. Ann was such a wonderful critic and a lovely person, too. Awful awful. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

I was lucky to get to know Ann through her love and support of Silverdocs. She was the rare national film critic who understood and championed creative nonfiction. She loved talking documentary and the Iowa State Fair. She was smart and she was kind. This is truly devastating.

We are literally a Russian satellite state.
This afternoon's orbital data suggests - subject to confirmation - that Russia's Kosmos-2612 has carried out a rendezvous with the US ICEYE X36 radar sat, within a few km. To my knowledge this is the first LEO rendezvous of two active sats where the owner of one of the sats did not give approval.

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.
BREAKING: Justice Department issues subpoenas in investigation into progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration status, including to members of her family.
Absent the nuclear codes (which he may now have access to), he is the most dangerous person alive. People told me I was crazy to say this up to the 2024 election. I don't care about being right. I care about bringing him to justice.
Elon Musk is one of the most dangerous people in the world. Twitter is a right wing propaganda tool. There are far too many folks out there pretending otherwise.

Hegseth got the job not because of his clown antics on Fox News but because during the first term he made it his personal crusade to get Trump to pardon war criminals who had murdered civilians and desecrated corpses. That’s who he is and it’s what Trump hired him to be.
i am genuinely shocked by the psychotic bloodthirst on display with hegseth

If you can't take a stand against a live-streamed public execution, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, you must resign immediately. You're fucking corporate-bought cretins.
I don't know why Spielberg backed Zaslav. I'd love to talk to him about it. Spielberg is one of my heroes. He miscalculated, and the industry is now speed-running toward ruin. His last act must be one of industry salvation. There's no way he doesn't care.
David Zaslav bids farewell to industry he helped destroy
