Possibly I'm wrong but I believe this is one of the earliest onscreen appearances of a toilet in American cinema. (Trivia.)

This can't be talked about enough. "President Donald Trump's move to cut most of the US funding towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump's aid cut risks causing 14 million deaths, report finds

The figure from the Lancet, a leading medical journal, includes 700,000 child deaths globally a year.

I do hope you'll make it to ROY'S WORLD. I'm biased perhaps but it looks amazing on the big screen--and the 18th is Barry's birthday!

The only prejudice I support: outside of rewatching MAGNOLIA, I never want to see another movie with Tom Cruise.

I'll be there on October 18 for ROY'S WORLD! Hope you can make it. It's extra special because that's Barry's 80th birthday!

Ray Bradbury and I were both born on August 22. I've always felt a kinship with him. Read this.

No one except the soulless criminal who's president of the U.S. would say Canada is "one of the worst countries in the entire world." Trump uses China as a good example and Canada as a bad example because he loves dictators and wants to be one.

Fellow GenXers: remember how often we were bombarded with images of late-period USSR? Old, decrepit men in charge, clinging to an ossified ideology. Political repression, nakedly false propaganda, empty shelves, food shortages, inadequate health care, deep-seated cynicism, crumbling infrastructure

Brolin / Kraus / Abrams (Not pictured: Duffield, Beaky, Whale) Go see WHALEFALL on Oct 16. A truly rare thing: an intensely unusual & risky & original big-budget production.

We think life is in the rooms. It's mostly in the hallways.

CC0 PHOTO. A long, symmetrical hotel corridor stretching toward a single vanishing point in the distance. Rows of warm dark-wood doors line both sides, each separated by panels of deep ochre-gold wall. The cream-toned tile floor reflects the soft, even glow of recessed ceiling lights, which repeat in a rhythm that mirrors the doors below. The coffered wooden ceiling deepens the sense of measured order. No person is present. The space holds a quality of unhurried stillness — each closed door a pause, the far end of the hall dissolving gently into dim, amber light.
