Just saw an article entitled "Sean Baker Avoided Politics in His Films — Until Anora" and I'm sorry but what editor can look at Take Away, Four Letter Words, and Prince of Broadway, and not see how deeply political they are.

The Last Showgirl - the standout film from this year's Austin Film Festival. Pamela Anderson and Ba☦️is✝️a should be in awards consideration, and Jamie Lee Curtis truly disappears into her part. A bitter, beautiful elegy to demolished history.

Joe Rogan. Unfunny and lazy.

The Oscar best picture winners for the last decade are like Star Trek films: the odd numbered years are often kinda rough, the even numbers are great, and Everything Everywhere All at Once is the Search for Spock that breaks the rule.

Three options here: 1. Selzer is right and Harris wins in a massive landslide 2. This poll is just a bad poll (it happens, but it happens to Selzer less than others) 3. Harris isn’t really winning IA but the poll is capturing late stage momentum that bodes well for WI,MI,PA

I've worked in campaigns for a long time, and known so many operatives in both parties. There has never been a collection of just awful human beings assembled around one candidate like the Trump campaign. Here you have a 42 year old obese incel @TheStevenCheung, who never did

Don’t ask whose fault this was. Plenty of time for second-guessing and recriminations. Ask instead, what can you do? For my part, that means telling the truth as I see it, as long as I can. The media will be under a lot of pressure to toe the line; don’t capitulate in advance

Please tell me how there’s not glass ceilings for women.

My deepest sympathy to Evan because there's no way there'll be an Ike Dyke in our lifetime with this incoming administration (meaning the likelihood of there being a Texas coast in our lifetime is also a lot lower).

Cracking review of the new single and music video Thanks Richard Whittaker at the Austin Chronicle x

Constantly juggling a beautiful diva, a kindhearted girl-next-door, and a sexually tense male friendship… none of us could ever understand an archie comic the way he does

OK sports fans, so this is my last bulletin for my position at Los Angeles Times. I resigned yesterday in protest of the paper's and owner's cozying up to Trump. Here's my explanation on my substack, where you can still follow me going forward. harrylitman.substack.com/p/why-i-just-r…
