It’s unlikely that I’ll have time to watch any more classics between now and the New Year, so here’s an early edition of my annual New to Me list. (And yes, it’s almost unforgivable how long I went without seeing a couple of these.)

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

As others have said, it's an adaptation so loose as to be barely recognizable, but DL's closest analogue in the movie is DeAndre, played by Regina Hall.

It's likely you've heard me mention DEMASCUS, a show I edited (and loved!) before it was shelved by its original network and lived in agonizing limbo for two years... until now, because the trailer just dropped! youtu.be/2zMo-SJx8bw?...

Two years ago, I was crestfallen when a show I was very proud to have been part of, DEMASCUS, was shelved by the network — even though it was complete and it was awesome. Well, our producers' perseverance has paid off and the series will premiere on Tubi next month! deadline.com/2025/07/dema...

This is great news, and let me use this opportunity to mention that there's still a weird and wonderful TV show out there called DEMASCUS (a sci-fi comedy about Black identity) that got disappeared for the same balance-sheet reasons as this film. Somebody buy DEMASCUS! deadline.com/2025/03/coyo...

"We Built This City" hurts me bad, not just because it's a terrible song, but also cuz not long before, they had been an extraordinary band. They went from "The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil" to this awful corporate b.s. (hypocritically posing as anti-corporate). It's just painful.

The first movie I have a memory of seeing in a theater was The Poseidon Adventure. I was five. When I was about ten, I saw The Domino Principle, and just like that, on the basis of two films, Gene Hackman became my favorite actor, even though...

I'm old enough to remember when rock bands, fancying themselves defenders of some kind of artistic purity, would actually print on their record covers, "Absolutely no synthesizers were used in the making of this album." And then New Order laughed and said, "Okay Boomer."

One of the strangest and most pleasurable work experiences I ever had was when sound designer Ron Eng invited me to come work on INLAND EMPIRE, up at David Lynch's Hollywood Hills compound. He knew I was a huge fan, and even though there wasn't much for me to do, I got paid for about six weeks...

"Fincher intended on working with Disney, who still own the IP..." Someone explain to me how a novel published in 1871 is still not in the public domain. I know U.S. copyright has been cravenly extended many times, but I thought that began in the 20th Century. www.indiewire.com/news/general...
