Michigan has produced many fine character actors. Dana Elcar was one. Dana, you are our Michigan Character Actor of the Week. 🫡

I think "This is your brain on drugs" was (and probably is) more famous, but "I learned it by watching you" made a deeper impression on me. It's stuck in my brain enough that I quote it sometimes, whereas Brain on Drugs is more like, "Oh yeah, that was a thing."

USED CARS: When this country was knee deep in malaise, it made comedy films with insane car stunts. God willing, in our new era of shit, we will return to our roots and make rusted out spectacles for the common people.

HOPE: Too long. I didn't like the CGI. But it's a fun ride. It made me laugh. Throughout the end, I was both admiring the balls and sweating in secondhand embarrassment. That means something. Maybe. Three stars.

I highly recommend Icarus Films' set of THE BATTLE OF CHILE, which includes the trilogy and a related, earlier film. I watched them all one Sunday back in May, absolutely great and compelling works.

I already have the Warner Archive of SHOP AROUND THE CORNER… BUT the Criterion 4K would be an upgrade. I still don't have a 4K player or TV… BUT the Criterion would be a great Xmas gift for my wife. She doesn't care about physical media. It would be a gift for me… BUT it would be a gift for me.

I was watching A NIGHT AT THE OPERA while my wife was sleeping on me. She woke up when Billy Gilbert briefly appeared, as if summoned by his presence, and recognized him as Pettibone from HIS GIRL FRIDAY. Then she fell back asleep.

Beyond the Fuck-Harry-Potter-ness of it, I just don't like looking at that new Harry Potter kid. Bad vibes. Like he came pre-haunted by his past as a child actor, but it is still his present.

Hey, if you know anyone in Brooklyn, Sunset Park specifically, who recently lost a cat, I found this very personable (and LOUD) little polydactyl on 53rd and 2nd. She's unbelievably sweet. I would love to reunite her with her people

WAR MACHINE (2026) is a by-the-numbers PREDATOR riff mixed with the Crisis-As-Therapy genre that's still pretty effective. Had the family hooting and hollering when we watched it on a home theater system. Big screen and sound system helped greatly, I think.

I really liked COYOTE VS. ACME, but I think an even higher compliment to it is that my wife (a more general audience member than a film or comedy dork like me) LOVED it. It's a real audience pleaser. They did the damn thing.

ARMY OF SHADOWS is a bleak masterpiece. It shows that resistance usually amounts to killing each other rather than the enemy, with no promise you'll see the other side of it - if it ever comes. The characters know that, and still they continue.

THE ODYSSEY has made me realize what might be the crux of my feelings about Nolan's work. In the Soderbergh sense of macro vs. micro editing, I like Nolan's macro editing but often find his micro editing clumsy. So while I like the general idea and elements, the nuts and bolts keep me from swooning.

My wife & I were in Michigan for a couple of weeks. My parents like the TV on, so we saw 9,000 political ads. Half were for Republican shitheads. Half were pro-Stevens or anti-Abdul El-Sayed. Exactly two were pro El-Sayed. My parents & another friend's mother were both still voting for El-Sayed.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

My wife told me about a trashy horror film a friend had shared on FB called 70MM BEAVERS and I was immediately intrigued. "Show this to me." Turned out she misread the title; it was actually ZOMBEAVERS. I'm not interested in ZOMBEAVERS. But I would LOVE to watch 70MM BEAVERS.

Did Dr. Bunsen Honeydew study Muppet health or human health in medical school? If he was a trainee doctor, like in The Pitt, would he have been limited to treating just the Muppet patients? Maybe that's why he ultimately went into science.
