The second I came out of MEGALOPOLIS, I thought to myself: I’m glad to have seen Francis Ford Coppola’s CHI-RAQ.

Elon is throttling lefty journalists who share their stuff, it looks like. So please check out Salon. I have an article about Alito up there today.

MZS My family loves The Intern but they haven't seen any other De Niro films so their idea of him is only as this nice cuddly old man which I find quite amusing

MZS I saw Branagh's Hamlet at the Inwood. One of my favorite movie experiences.

MZS Been screaming this for years. My Admin actively calls herself my DeNiro and I endorse it.

MZS Oh hell yes. It's unbelievable to me that that film just came and went with nary a mention and zero distribution in theatre or online. I couldn't even get it for our festival. It should at least have been this decade's Winter's Bone.

What’s the best beach town in TX that’s not Galveston or S Padre Island?

Today I was googling “Ray Bradbury obituary“ and this came up. Forgot I wrote it. As Indiana Jones says: not the years, the mileage. I introduced Ray Bradbury at SMU in 1991. I think the legend had swallowed him up by that point, but it was still an honor. vulture.com/2012/06/seitz-…

MZS I met my future wife on a blind date to see Bowling For Columbine before it went mainstream. A holy place to us. I also saw The Thin Blue Line at Inwood which made me feel like a changed person walking out.
