@ChuckWendig Instead of laying off its staff, Musso & Frank is keeping them on the payroll while shuttered. The explanation? "They're family."

Astonishing actress, indelible in every role; alive, surprising in every moment. She leaves behind a string of consummate, moving, performances. We were fortunate to have her among us.

I’ve received 242,000 letters, calls and emails opposing the GOP rush to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat. The American people understand that Republicans are hurrying to consolidate a conservative majority on the court so they can repeal the ACA. This is NOT the will of the people.

In 2001 a guy named Richard put a bomb in his shoe. It didn’t go off; no one was hurt. Since then we are made to take off our shoes every time we get on an airplane. In 2022 a million Americans have died of COVID and when we board a flight no one even asks us to mask. Why?

An extraordinary set of exchanges between McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt and NYTimes White House correspondent Michael D. Shear. Q: When is a lie a lie? A: When it’s a lie, except in the New York Times. Essential reading.

Lie and Liar. These words have a plain and simple meaning in the English language. Media organizations should use them in describing the mendacity of this administration. Sarah Sanders is America’s second most prolific public liar falling behind only her repugnant liar-in Chief.

@Geniusbastard I had an emergency after-hours visit with a top ophthalmologist in Paris. They were closing but they took me in anyway. Did a thorough one-hour diagnostic exam. • So odd, to walk into a clinic and not be asked for insurance cards. • And to walk out for roughly $75.

My single favorite shot in all cinema. I once (circa 1982) had a t-shirt made with a diagram of that shot, photocopied from a Raymond Bellour article.

The whole “if they don’t make a deal Thursday it’ll go ‘til the end of the year” sentiment from those “close to the negotiations” feels like an attempt to jam through something inadequate via outside pressure. If so: it won’t work.

One thing to remember: WGA is honoring the negotiations blackout, and the AMPTP is not, so all this positive spin in the news today is coming from Management, and is probably an attempt to jam us. It might all turn out fine, but this still feels like an old AMPTP play. Patience.

A lovely review of the long-awaited Blu-ray release of Charley Varrick, directed by Don Siegel, and written by my father, Howard Rodman. With many bonus features, including a chat with me, and a dialogue between Josh Olson and myself.
