David Letterman was a genius for retiring when he did. Perfect timing.

I won’t pretend to have any Big Thoughts about Robert Redford, but his last movie, The Old Man & The Gun, was really cute. I felt good when I left the theater, and that almost never happens. (Plus, Tom Waits in a supporting role.)

It’s okay, I’m sure you can watch it on DVD someday.

A moment of silence now to commemorate the tragic loss of John Ritter, who died this day in 2003 and should have won the Oscar for Sling Blade.

I’m almost positive that the new Spinal Tap will be terrible and it bums me out so bad. Reminds me of the Zoolander sequel that was just a string of celebrity cameos.

Also: one of those movies that shows the weaknesses of streaming. That movie was a huge deal but it’s almost impossible to find.

Rewatched Sling Blade. What a picture. John Ritter and Dwight Yoakam are so damn good in it.

Yes. I’ll have nothing, but the TV is good. It’s like Dick Cavett is jumping right out at you.

Any woman who stays with me needs to know that I have Dick Cavett reruns on twenty. four. hours. a. day. And I'm gonna try and talk about every single episode, even if I was in the other room.

Sidebar: I was recently offered a sit-down with Robert Plant--how about you guys just hang out!!--but I could not sell it. I think editors thought "this is gonna be about that bluegrass shit, isn't it. They're gonna talk about Blind Willie Johnson aren't they."

Kaleb Horton @kalebhorton.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

I know this is old man stuff, but it's so funny that Robert Plant does one reunion show with Led Zeppelin, it works great, they threaten a tour that would make a billion dollars, he says nah, then he promptly runs away to make slowcore bluegrass for the rest of his life.

My review of the very good King of the Hill revival is that it needlessly makes me miss Tom Petty again. I was right there at the Hollywood Bowl and then snap. It was like ten minutes ago and it’s always gonna be ten minutes ago. Probably how people felt about Elvis. I get that now.

Sidebar: it’s amazing how many of critic John Simon’s negative reviews were just writing around “this has Jews in it.”

I see the point definitely. Get Smart is funnier than most 80s comedy. (I know this is kind of an extension of The Producers sort of, but never mind.)

Kaleb Horton @kalebhorton.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I have not. I’ll investigate.

Kaleb Horton @kalebhorton.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I know I’m the second or third person to say this, but the script to The Producers is one of the funniest I’ve ever seen, and it boggles the mind that it came out in the 60s, an unfunny decade.

The real stupid one with what sounds like a xylophone or a keyboard and the choppy guitar rhythm that just loops every 15 seconds.

Need to cheer myself up so here's the best Twitter post ever. It spawned one billion bad ripoffs but it's a beautiful magic trick. You don't just read it in his voice: he said it now. This quote is real.

I mean, I also don’t wanna get too sentimental about a WW2 veteran dying 25 years into the 21st century. He was a hell of a guy though. May he rest well.

This is a career-length fixation for me, because I want production to come back and because it’s awesome. Justified definitely did this if you pay attention but even that’s not egregious enough.

Dialogue’s too quiet, guns too loud. Gotta hold on to the remote the whole time. Bill Murray plays an excellent dramatic heavy but they waste it. Consistently good performances serving a story that’s a stretch even for this kind of movie. Might have been good in 1998. Pete Davidson is underrated.

Huge get, here. I know a lot of people will tell you to "eat shit" and "get fucked" but I think it's a good lesson in why it's important for a science reporter to be sourced up in the Anonymous Twitter Eugenicist community. So you can write important stories like this in the New York Times.

Speaking as someone from California who has never been to any part of New York and probably never will, I hear way too much about the New York Times. It sounds like they’re run by fascist weirdos, but it shouldn’t be any of my business either.
