My daughters are coming to visit for Christmas next week. I think it'll be The Princess Bride for movie night this year.
In the meantime, I think I'll re-watch The American President. Because I crave the fantasy of a caring, competent, human president. And Michael J Fox yelling "I'm a citizen!"

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Sad news about Rob Reiner and his wife this weekend, following a cavalcade horrible news from around the world. We are living in the worst possible timeline.
But let's not forget that Rob, like his dad Carl, gave us a lifetime of laughter and wonderful movies.
RIP Meathead.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable
