It's the story of the last ten years--kiss his ass in the most debased possible way, and this is what you get in return.

Trump complains about his Time Magazine cover photo in new post:

"the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown... Really weird!"

There are so many Diane Keaton performances to remember, but a lot of people haven't seen Reds, and A) my God, see it, it is a masterpiece and B) her performance as Louise Bryant is one of the bravest, toughest, least sympathy-courting pieces of work by an American actress in the last 50 years.

Oh, not Diane Keaton! Fully in shock right now. How wonderful that she could be so authentically herself and carve out such a great career on her terms. We’ll miss you, Annie 😭

I know most of my Jonathan Bailey content is just thirst posts, but I am genuinely invested in his success. He’s on the precipice of becoming a major star, which is incredible to be as an out gay man. I think that’s so vital, especially now, and means so much. I hope he does it.

Loved hearing @sophiacim.bsky.social and @kevinjacobsen.bsky.social talk about how Greer Garson should have had a role like Dangerous Liaisons. Not sure if you all know that she played Regina in a TV version of The Little Foxes which is a change from her usual image: youtu.be/DO_CtMTBRC8?...

Had a silly time with @claudioalvesdc.bsky.social discussing how The House of the Spirits whitewashes Isabel Allende's novel, the film's lack of authenticity, the epic actressing event of seeing Glenn Close and Meryl Streep share the screen together, and so much more! Give it a listen!

One Battle After Another: One of those films where you recognize from the opening scenes that the director is in full control of his vision. Many of today’s social satirists could learn a thing or two from how PTA plays with topical themes without being overly didactic!
