“Marathon Man” turns 50 today. 🎂 It’s true: Hoffman really did stay up all night to look "out-of-it during the dental scenes," director John Schlesinger said. It didn't work. "I had to completely reshoot.. That’s when Olivier said to me 'Why doesn’t he just try acting?'"

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

This whole AI plan - all of it, from shoving it down people's throats, embedding it in every corner & human endeavor, to having it commit cyber crimes in a desperate attempt at corporate capture + regulatory subsidy - seems not particularly well-conceived. Maybe there's no plan?

The biggest streaming platform having a staggering 14 pre-80s films is such a sad state of affairs. My media server has more pre 1910s films than this, my 70s collection alone is ~1600 films. Netflix is an embarassment for cinephiles.

1. Rick Steves has spent $2 million of his own money to rescue a single-screen theater in Edmonds, WA. This is part of a multi-million-dollar effort he has made to invest in community properties in order to preserve local institutions and keep them serving the communities they were built for.

Kudos to the @theguardian.com for keeping climate change news high priority. You would hardly have noticed any of it from U.S. media which seems to keep the top stories on all the weather disasters happening and not the source of it. Guardian published the UN warning on breeching 1.5 degrees.

She challenged sexist assumptions, helping women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at work, at home and in society at large.

"Look at the last 3 GOP presidents. One oversaw a double-dip recession with a savings & loans scandal that looted the Treasury. That was Bush I. Another oversaw near meltdown of the whole capitalist system. That was Bush II. Then the next presided over a pandemic-driven collapse. That was Trump I."

Are voters finally realizing GOP presidents are disasters?
Michael Tomasky makes the case that they are.

Tens of thousands of deaths from extreme heat this summer, as well as many summers before, not to mention the fires etc, has everywhere been reduced to a stupid pro/anti air conditioning fight. Our addiction to techno-fixes is almost as dangerous as our addiction to fossil fuels.
