On top of THE NAKED GUN being so stupidly funny (without even needing grade it on a curve of 2020s comedies), it also looks good, too! Like a real movie! With proper lighting and real shooting locations and actors on the same set as each other interacting with one another. And extras!! What a hoot!

Good morning! I took the opportunity of the BEATLES ANTHOLOGY's streaming debut to write about THE COMPLEAT BEATLES, the (imho) far superior Fab Four doc, and why, because of the ANTHOLOGY, it's so hard to see.

The thing with wealthy characters in movies/tv I’ve noticed lately is that they are all just vaguely rich. Wealth as story mechanic rather than character. They’re rarely seen actually working or even so much as knowing what they do for a profession, just existing within their excessive luxury.

Gotta be honest here, THE AGE OF DISCLOSURE gave off big mockumentary vibes. And I say this as somebody who, like Ellie Arroway, believes it'd be a waste of space for us to be here by ourselves. But these men (all men!) talk like pop girlie stans defending their fave's flop. Like, go off diva, yes.

UDO KIER! A man for whom casting agents was an easy get, but for filmmakers was a lightning bolt of energy. Always able to deliver *something* with *whatever* he had to work with. However, I am glad that he got something like SWAN SONG in the last few years to remind us he could do that, too.

The official Instagram page for WEAPONS touting Amy Madigan’s nomination from the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards is kind of hilarious. Talking about how the ceremony will air on PBS. Imagining the crossover is making me smile.
