I remember there was a great episode of SModcast from, I dunno, maybe 2009 wherein Kevin talked about learning about the Six-Day War for the first time. It was during the production of Cop Out. Someone should try to find that. My contribution to October 7 discourse.

Watching Old Groucho on The Dick Cavett Show. He's really upset about the musical "Oh! Calcutta!" and is going off on a long, joke-free riff about disliking dirty movies and plays. He predicts there will be a resurgence of clean movies and plays. Tepid applause from the audience.

A lot of people lamenting the Paramount/Warner merger and fearing David Ellison's control over the media are forgetting that we have three secret weapons at our disposal, currently lurking high up in the Warner water tower.

I've been enjoying Hackney Diamonds by the Rolling Stones lately. Last week I put it on and my significant other said, "Hey, this is pretty good, what is this?" and I'll cherish her stunned reaction when I told her.

This is really important. From a 1970 issue of Screw Magazine, here is a review of an erotic play starring one “Sylvester E. Stallone." Al Goldstein describes Stallone's penis as "not so immense or threatening as to make you insecure readers not take your wives"

Digger looks poised to flop but I don't see what's so notable about that. Movies lose $100 million every week now. Nothing matters.

Very exciting news out of Hollywood today. Warner Bros makes great movies. Paramount makes great movies. Put them together... well heck, it's simple math that movies are going to get twice as great.

Though he bestrode the narrow world like a Colossus throughout the 2000s, George W. Bush is seldom seen or remarked-upon nowadays - a victim of wilful amnesia among the American public. And in the cultural sphere, the exact same is true of Jay Leno.

The New York Times’ coverage of Iraq in the aughts, then Gaza and trans issues in the 2020s has made the world a manifestly worse place anyone who works for it should be at least intellectually honest about that.

Watching Sylvester Stallone's New York Times interview. He comes across very thoughtful, self-aware, and even humble. He claims he's now "anti-war" and that the perception of him as a conservative is wrong! Anyway I'm just going to pretend I haven't seen all the accounts he follows on Instagram...

Simpsons Season 9 is crazy. There are some episodes in there you'd swear were Season 6 or 7. Other episodes you'd have been certain were Season 13. And a handful that feel unmistakably like Simpsons Season 9.

The horrifying revelations about alleged serial killer R. C. Hörsch are upending the cinematic canon. From the offices of the Academy to the living rooms of America, everyone is asking: can we ever watch The Erotic Memoirs of a Male Chauvinist Pig (1973) the same way again??

Got sad seeing a photo of new SNL cast members. That show scoops up TikTok influencers by the dozen and grinds them through Lorne's evil workplace humiliation rituals, but nobody even becomes a star anymore. It's not 1988, just start a podcast or whatever, that's where you're all gonna end up anyway

There are things Trump does that make me sick to my stomach (slaughter in Gaza, ICE raids, detaining random Somalis and sending them to Guantanamo), and then there's stuff like threatening to demolish the Kennedy Center, which gets me less worked up because America deserves it.

Feel like the median Democratic Party voter probably agrees with Hasan Piker that the U.S. has caused more death than Al Qaeda. Probably the median Republican voter does too (they think it's good). How long is the corporate media just going to keep pushing the old, busted 9/11 button?

Some exceedingly rare copies of one of the greatest film books of all time - certainly one of the most consequential in my own life - have gone on sale. The book is Rudolph Grey's Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood, Jr. feralhouse.com/product/nigh...

This is the authoritative underground biography that brought new recognition to Ed Wood and his work. It inspired the Tim Burton film, Ed Wood. “Finally the Ed Wood story told in all its naked wonder....

On day six of the Toronto International Film Festival, one movie has emerged as the undisputed frontrunner for the People's Choice Award. A crowd-pleasing biopic that has audiences laughing and cheering. I refer of course to Mariano Llinás' Life of Jorge Luis Borges.

Watching the "Everything You NEED to Know About SNL Season 29 (2003-04)" youtube video. Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Trump, and the Olsen Twins all hosted. Endless American Idol skits. Gotta be the season that got Aaron Sorkin so mad he wrote Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

We live in an age when government and media elites will fabricate narratives even when there is recorded evidence to the contrary. I thought about this during a scene in I Play Rocky in which it is heavily implied that Stallone has a big dick.
