So, Thanksgiving: Mom stubbornly trying to do more than she currently should and thoroughly exhausting herself; Dad negging her, then chowing down and saying all of a dozen words through the meal; and me, doing all of the rest of the work (incl. all of the cleanup) without even a word of thanks. 🙄

Odd that so much of my YT recommendations now are of Andrew Garfield, who I do like quite a lot, but there's no reason YT should "think" this. But, damn, he's currently sporting a mane so glorious that even Aslan would admire it-- whilst moaning slightly about being middle-aged.

It'd be curious now if you could ask Mr. Kind if he has any memories about one of his (brief) costars: David Ellison as his mayoral flunky on LEVERAGE... (IMDB screws this up, BTW: it mixes up Ellison with a young ginger actor playing a cop.)

The secondary tragedy to the current massive tragedy in Erie is the instantaneous realization that absolutely nothing will be done to prevent further such tragedies.

Imagine if we could go back in time and ferociously bitchslap every one of those fatuous fuckwits who shrugged off "Russia, if you're listening" as some chuckleworthy quirk of personality.

R politicians have always defined 'liberalism' and 'socialism' and even 'communism' in any which way they liked, and largely succeeding in get a plurality of Americans to use all three interchangeably.

It is a bit sad that with Eva Marie Saint's passing there are no real "famous people respond to recently-deceased person's passing" articles. Olivia de Havilland and Norman Lloyd didn't get them, either. A shame, really.

Gotta say, though, Colin Hanks nails miming your speech patterns perfectly. He didn't even miss half a beat.

It's so obvious, but Two Cathedrals-- in part b/c of Martin's soliloquy, in part because of Kathryn's perfect return, in part because of the imagery and music of those final moments.

I guess the news had to come sooner or later, but still sad: Eva Marie Saint was such an icon of the 50s and a better actress than she was usually credited for. An amazing life and a figure of great grace and style. RIP. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

Eva Marie Saint, star of North by Northwest and On the Waterfront, dies aged 102

Landmark roles were in 50s classics directed by Elia Kazan and Alfred Hitchcock, before going on to play Superman’s adoptive mother in later life

Oldest living Oscar-winner, but surprisingly quite a few still living who've had their Oscars much longer, including Sophia Loren, Julie Christie, Barbra Streisand-- and Joanne Woodward is very close to having had her Oscar for 70 years.

And I didn't even mention Reeve's Superman, Stamp's Zod, Boseman's T'Challa, Kidder's Lois Lane, Hackman's super-cartoony Luthor, Cliff Robertson's Uncle Ben; Dafoe's Goblin, Molina's Doc Ock, Snipes' Blade or even Strormare's Lucifer from CONSTANTINE. Not even in the same ballpark.

Just to buttress this, using only older material, in no particular order: Evans (somehow salvaging Cap); Nicholson, Ledger and Cesar Romero (so mad for 1966); Keaton's Vulture; Pfeiffer's Catwoman; two Penguins (Farrell and Meredith); Simmons as J. Jonah; Hiddles' Loki; RR's Deadpool. Like, cmon...

No. Don't get me wrong: Chandler was fine, no complaints; no disrespect to him. But nowhere near the best superhero casting choices of all time, not even remotely close.

Two questions: 1. Is there still anyone who gives a tinker's damn what Rahm Emanuel thinks? 2. Has anyone ever looked more like a beleaguered mafia consigliere going through the Richard Nixon sweats?

Jeremy J. Sharp @jeremyjsharp.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Overall, I'd say LANTERNS ended reasonably well, but the show definitely needs some tightening (the finale could've lost 10-15 minutes) and to stop relying so much on momentum-breaking flashbacks.

If you thought Joss Whedon's JUSTICE LEAGUE was bad, wait 'til you see Cheetolini's "Super Intelligence Force."

Nice Top 2% result on today's Cinematrix, with five 1% answers (three for the Fondas, two for the Hustons) and two 2%ers for Elia Kazan, but got lazy with the remaining two and did better with them than I should have (John Wick 3 & Streetcar). But it's rare I get to pull LOVESICK out for anything.

Listings ad for LOVESICK (1983) with Dudley Moore, Elizabeth McGovern, Selma Diamond, Wallace Shawn, Ron Silver, John Huston and Alec Guinness as an imaginary Sigmund Freud.

A bit accidentally misleading above: Cochrane (and Sarah McLachlan) landed earlier than the others, Jordan in the late 80s, etc, but it was in the early 90s they all had huge hits, at least in terms of Canadian sales and airplay. / also: huge returns of Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, too

Such sad news about Sass Jordan. 63 is way too damned young. For non-Hosers, she really struck big here in the early 90s with part of a small wave of CanCon pop-rockers which included Tom Cochrane, Sue Medley, Mae Moore, even Barenaked Ladies. Seems like ages ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL7Z...

In a way, it's so fitting that the expiring Warner Bros. will likely lose more just on promotion of DIGGER than the whole budget of COYOTE VS. ACME. And, Zaslav, yes: you deserve for that to be how you're remembered, with a cultural monument to your greasy fuckwittery.

You do have to find it funny that Bluesky has to tell us what its "trending" memes are. / but, to be fair, still rather here than any of the other joints

Well, on the first point, it's probably even-stevens between Alito and Thomas. After all, has there ever been a case where Thomas hasn't sided with partisan-R position?

It's pretty impressive what a good actor Johnny Flynn has become, esp. for someone who's principally a musician. He's been acting for quite a while now, but he's increasingly leaning towards a Nicolas Cage-y quality and he's just nailing it.

Way, way back when "this tired old man that we elected king" was referring to a corrupt and addled former TV-star who used foreign entanglements to distract from his disastrous record at home... / er, well, the one who was once married to Jane Wyman.

Considering the record-breaking streaming-licensing deals the creators got away with, I suspect you can surmise how the show "feels" about wealth.

I genuinely cannot remember the last time I was even mildly curious about a new episode of SOUTH PARK. Feels like ages ago.

Aside from Buffett and Gates (and that's a long while ago, for both), the current crop has no sense whatsoever of noblesse oblige and will not be moved by shame, responsibility or even fear of the public. The Robber Barons and those who followed have nothing on this lot.

Jeremy J. Sharp @jeremyjsharp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

SLOW HORSES really is trying my patience. Its latest episode, a tedious exercise in nothing but prattle and wheel-spinning, wasn't worth the time wasted to watch it. Who looked at the script for this episode and thought, "Good, run with it"? Egad.

I followed DD on Tw*tter well before he started the fact-checking project and when he started on that beat, he was pretty much alone in doing so. US outlets rarely, if ever, did so, and WaPo and Politifact checking was dubious at best. Still amazed the project didn't drive poor DD mad.
