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

The first two movies I was ever employed on, full-time, were Fred Olen Ray spectaculars. I was assisting the editor, Bill Shaffer, just after he had done HCH. He knew even then that it was a classic in the making.

I think if you didn't know what the source material was, you might be 3/4 of the way through the movie before you even suspected Vineland might be in the mix. I say that as someone who's read the book at least four times (and seen the movie once). I love both, but they're very different.

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?...

It's an ingenious, comedic sci-fi centered around questions of Black male identity, written by playwright Tearrance Chisholm. I urge everyone to keep your eyes open for DEMASCUS next month, and don't worry, I'll be back to remind you.

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...

Although it doesn't say so explicitly, the impression I'm getting is that they'll now play commercials closer to the feature, possibly after the movie trailers, making them harder to avoid for intentional latecomers like me.

They have. This article seems to indicate that they'll be showing MORE commercials, and giving them a more featured placement in the pre-show.

They've been creeping in slowly over the years. In L.A., anyway, commercials were unheard of before roughly 2000. And there were several competing cinema chains, so if one had ever tried it, they'd lose business to the others.

It should be mentioned that AMC already has the most insufferable (and insufferably long) pre-show of any theater chain I can recall. Thank God for assigned seats, because Nichol and I typically try to arrive 20 mins late.

It says something unflattering about our culture that an artist owning her own work is not only newsworthy, but rightfully considered historical. But hell yes, congrats Taylor!
