She did this commission for me, which was a gift for my parents. They (and I) cherish it to this day. Happy Ramona Fradon’s 100th 🎂

Increasingly, Soylent Green serves as one of the best metaphors for AI -- it's taking all that we are, as people, chumming it up, and feeding the slurry back to us. We're told that we need it, it's nutritious, it'll save the world, even as it damns it and us.

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

This is an argument to bring back neighborhood theatres, not kill the very concept of theatrical exhibition.

I feel like this error message from my AMC app has a deeper meaning…

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head. The Haunting (1963) The Shining (1980) The Texas Chain-saw Massacre (1974) The Thing (1982)

Got to see this one on the big screen at last. As usual, it did not disappoint.

Very saddened to hear of Robert Redford's passing. He seemed a man who walked his talk as best he could, and his work both in front of and behind the camera brought much joy. Some favorites, in no order:

Redford in 3 Days of the Condor, about a CIA analyst who inadvertently becomes an assassin.

Redford and Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, one of my all time favorite films.

Redford in Jeremiah Johnson, depicted in his mountain man garb standing against the snow-covered Rocky Mountains.

No TARDIS, DeLoreans, Terminators, or starships named Enterprise allowed, I guess?

To this day, I remain irrationally disappointed that Statham didn’t play a character named Detective Chaos in the movie CHAOS.

Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.

Ill advised for a clip of NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN (a movie they had nothing to do with producing) to be included in the Oscar tribute to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
