When I was in junior high me and a group of friends called into KROQ 106.7 here in LA and successfully got on air, for my first and only time. We proceeded to request "Detachable Penis"

I had to go with Carpenter/Russell as I just don't know if there will be another opportunity to see them together. And I'm pretty positive it will be a convo but let me ask my sources at the museum (my wife) and I'll get back to you.

I literally bought a ticket to this before I realized it was the same day and I already had tix for Carpenter/Russell. Cruel indeed.

My wife loved to hear how much he enjoys being there and that your encouraging him to apply to Teen Council. She said there's still a few days left.

Lol, no doubt. My wife is often required to be there all weekend....when it's her program.

I second that big time. When I took a History of Mexico class in college I started dreaming of a big budget limited series.

Same kid who turned to me during MOANA(2026) and said "I think Disney is trying too hard with these live action versions." From the mouths of babes, etc., etc.

My 8 year old just spent the last 10 minutes railing against CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (2006) and how WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971) is superior for multiple reasons including Gene Wilder, the Oompa Loompas, and the use of real sets. 🥹That's my kid🥹

Yeah, man, I feel you. I marvel at the seeming effort it takes to *not* enjoy that many movies.

So rad. Wish I could be there on Friday. I had a DEAD AGAIN poster in my room when I was 12 after it had run its course at the video store my cousin worked at. Also, me and my brother still occasionally say "Thees...is for YOU!" Love that movie.

I have never in my life watched a soccer game beyond a few scattered minutes. I started following this World Cup a little. Got stoked by Mexico's last win and the ensuing celebrations. I am now watching Mexico vs England doing the Standing-Dad-Watch and yelling at the TV.

Last night I experienced MANHUNTER: THE FINAL CUT in the best theater in Los Angeles, followed by a Q & A with Michael Mann himself, and topped it off with the private reception in his honor, getting to briefly speak with him. Not a bad evening!

I grew up in the same area as him and I remember regularly driving by this little club in an industrial area when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s and I would always see his name on the marquee.

Me and my brother have never stopped quoting "My momma used say to me, 'Fleet!'" "Fleet??" "That's my name. Fleetwood. Coupe. DeVille."

Nothing beats @brightwalldarkroom.com when it comes to film writing. In a world of "optimizing SEO" & worse they are the epitome of "for the love of the game." If you can swing it, please subscribe. If you can't, spread the word. No matter what, read them.

I'm a Juvenile Gen Xer/Xenneial and I concur, as I saw Dan Deacon & Girl Talk when they toured together in 2007 which was amazing. Then I saw Girl Talk the following year post-FtA and the crowd was way more younger Millenials which was, at that time, super annoying to me lol

I was transfixed watching the shootout for the first time in the theater in 95. When it got to the end I realized I had literally moved to the edge of my seat without even realizing it. One of the best theatrical experiences of my life.

I live in Monrovia and will tell anyone who will listen that it was filmed here. Also found out recently that Lloyd Dobler's apartment in SAY ANYTHING was just 2 blocks away. Cusack knows Monrovia!

Absolutely. It was in my top 5 of last year. I was weeping in the theater.

That's rad! I had a VHS copy that my cousin had taped off pay-per-view for my family. As a Chicano kid growing up in LA County, it was, and still is, an incredibly important film.

I heard this for the first time when I saw LA BAMBA(1987) as a kid and have loved it since. A heartbreakingly beautiful song

I'm hosting this event w/ @pfischer.bsky.social & @drewmcweeny.com on Monday! When I heard about Paul's book, I quickly reached out to the pub & luckily we figured out a date for the store. Then they said Drew was in & my 'stoked' level doubled. So don't miss it! This Monday at 7pm. It's 4/20!

It’s the goof of all time. Look, but don’t touch. Touch, but don’t taste. Taste, don’t swallow. And while you’re jumping from one foot to the next, what is He doing? He’s laughing his sick, fucking ass off. He’s a tight-ass. He’s a sadist. He’s an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never!

This post & its comments/quotes are brimming with full-chested yet ill-informed assertions. I'd even argue that Pacino has exclusively given self-parody performances post-Oscar is untrue. Undoubtedly more paycheck roles but he's still capable of being measured even if the baseline is more outsized.

speaking from my own experience of getting diagnosed with inattentive ADHD in my early 40s I encourage anyone who thinks they may have it to get it chcked out. i wish i'd done it earlier. and don't listen to anyone who says otherwise which is tough cuz ADHD makes you doubt yourself on the regular.
