#ITWelcomeToDerry premieres October 26 on HBO Max.
Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'"
Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.
The new trailer for THE RUNNING MAN is up. My IT guy will post it. I don't "get" posting on Bluesky. That's okay. I've seen the movie, and it's a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride. The feel is like a modern-day DIE HARD.

Play the game or the game plays you. Watch the New Trailer for The #RunningManMovie – Only in theatres November 14
Trump (eyes rolling back and forth in their sockets, muttering): I have enemies. They are everywhere.
[Voice raises to a shout]
ENEMIES EVERYWHERE! CUT THEM OUT! ROOT AND BRANCH! CUT THEM OWWWT!
WELCOME TO DERRY is amazing. First episode is terrifying.
I liked THE PITT, didn't care so much for ADOLESCENCE, haven't gotten to THE STUDIO.
Have you streamed any of my three favorite series: ADOLESCENCE, THE PITT, and THE STUDIO?

There are lots of good dramas on streaming TV. We really do live in a golden age. But TASK (HBO) has one thing many of the others lack: Soul.
JD Vance straight-up lied about Dems wanting health care for illegals. They are barred from the medical assistance orgs.
Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.
KILLING FAITH: A quasi-supernatural Western that has echoes of Cormac McCarthy. The first scene, involving a child and a horse, is a shocker.
THE LIFE OF CHUCK returns to theaters on October 1st for one-night-only screenings across the nation, featuring a special conversation with director Mike Flanagan and legendary actor Mark Hamill.

It's my birthday, but I want YOU to give YOURSELF a present--go see THE LONG WALK.
Free speech?
Really?
It cost Jimmy Kimmel his job.

Bringing back the War Department is an interesting strategy for someone desperate to win a Peace Prize.
I see the Draft-Dodger-in-Chief has rechristened the Defense Department the War Department. In spite of his hawkish stance, I doubt he'll be gearing up anytime soon.
What do you call a bear without teeth?
A gummy bear.
Correct.
HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE.

In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence.

WE LIVE HERE NOW, Sarah Pinborough: Very scary. Turns out there's life in the haunted house plot, after all. Original and my God, so dark.

The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.
Trump has thrown sand into the gears of the American economy.
