Happy 40th anniversary to #BackToTheFuture.

So happy to see @leathompson.bsky.social and #WendieMalick from THE CHICKEN SISTERS celebrating.

There's so much I'd love to say about Lea's performance, which is as brilliant as Christopher's and Crispin's. It proved her to be a bombshell comedienne.

Criterion finally issued this on Blu-ray, but I love Albert Brooks' REAL LIFE (1979) enough to still have the old Paramount DVD.

Harry Shearer co-wrote it, Charles Grodin, #RIP, and Frances Lee McCain (who played mothers in GREMLINS, FOOTLOOSE, BACK TO THE FUTURE, STAND BY ME, and SCREAM) co-star.

As much as I love Joan Cusack (who was compared to Boy George quite a lot when this came out), I say check out CASUAL SEX? instead of THE ALLNIGHTER if you want a female-centric sex comedy from the 1980s. Also from Universal and starring Lea Thompson, who has many films associated with the studio.

I prefer the equally female-centric CASUAL SEX? from 1988. It made me research Philadelphia comedienne Judy Toll, who co-wrote the screenplay as well as its stage incarnation with Wendy Goldman. And it has 80s All Over guest Lea Thompson (also in THE WIZARD OF LONELINESS the same year).

With my lucky @leathompson.bsky.social #HowardTheDuck signed T-shirt and my solidarity with Portland's Antifa Frogs, I made it to #NoKings in #Phoenix with speaker @azagmayes.bsky.social and hundreds of fellow peaceful protesters. I've never been happier to be lost in such a crowd.

THIS IS WHY WE MARCH…

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive overnight, it creeps in while we stay silent.

The window to use our voice is closing.

If you ever need someone to put in a good word for CASUAL SEX? (1988).

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!
