What an incredible body of work he leaves behind. It's hard to think of anyone who did it better. It's unfortunate that the creation of effective and emotive movie posters has become a dying art. Rest in peace to Drew Struzan, the greatest who ever did it. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Drew Struzan, Iconic Movie Poster Artist and Favorite of Spielberg and Lucas, Dies at 78

He created some of the most memorable movie posters of all-time in his own signature style as Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro pay tribute.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Wow. So ends an era. Cannot say enough great things about Marc Maron. He was one of the inspirations behind me deciding to start my own podcast 13 years ago. He will be missed. What a great service he's provided to all of us through the years. Thank you for all of it.

Friendship is excruciatingly uncomfortable yet incredibly captivating in the most cringey and oddly humorous way possible. As A24 as a movie can get.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar trailer. Not a movie that some people will think is appropriate for modern times and a hard watch but one of Diane Keaton's greatest performances. youtu.be/cikARr2qMeA?...

I feel that Diane Keaton is one of the unfortunate actresses with great talent who had to stand in Woody Allen's shadow for the entirety of her career. It's sad because she really did have a spark of her own. If you doubt that, try and find Looking for Mr. Goodbar. She will stun you. Rest in Peace.

This is what ice is doing

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
