What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

Irish News: "Palestinians return to ruins as Gaza ceasefire holds."

The Gazans who survived have no home, no work and nothing left of their cities. They rely on our direct donations.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and rebuild. And to others. ❤️

Rewatched "Bring Her Back" with a friend, and she noted that Sally Hawkins in "Aunt Gladys in a different font."

And, while both movies were produced independently, I can't unsee it.

(It is interesting that both movies are about abusive guardians.)

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

Homer in the "Third Dimension." He and everything around him are computer animated. He's standing on a green grid. Shapes and math equations surround him.

Homer: Did anyone see the movie Tron?

Dr. Hibbert, in the Simpsons' living room: No.

Everyone else says "No." in rapid succession.

If we ever take this country back from madmen we will need to prosecute crimes like this. Otherwise we’ll only set up something worse down the line. If they know they can get away with it they will try again.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

You have to be able to legally drink to even have strong memories of seeing the last TRON movie in a theater. ARES was a movie made for my generation and we don't need third spaces the way Gen Alpha and Gen Z do.

I don't know when Hollywood forgot about making movies for teenagers, but come on guys

This isn't rocket science, Hollywood. When you make movies for Gen Z & Alpha, they pay to see them. FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S opened to $80M WITH a day & date streaming release on Peacock. When you make movies for their dads, those dads have a choice between the theater or their bitchin' home theater.

I'm perplexed at watching pundits in the trades struggling to explain Tron Ares' disappointing opening.

Was it covid? Do people just not like science fiction? etc. etc.

The main reason is pretty obvious: Tron isn't a popular franchise. Nobody's interested in nostalgia for a failed 1980s project.

They're talked about enough to keep them at least on the edges of the cultural zeitgeist long enough for people to remember the film's themselves and not the fact that they've never actually been a huge mainstream draw, so they think a new film must have more of an audience than it really does.

Kellen 🎃 @thetrueduckman.bsky.social · 6h

Tron is in the same boat as Blade Runner of having always been one of those cult "your favorite director's favorite movie" franchises. Their actual success is less so measured by how well they do critically or at the box office, but in how they influence the next generation of filmmakers.

IF YOU CARE PLEASE SHARE.

Gaza today is emerging from a war that has exhausted it with no jobs, no homes, and no sources of livelihood. We have lost almost everything, and prices have risen to unprecedented levels.

At such a time, please do not leave us alone to face the cold and hunger.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Aw, man. Keaton was legit one of the greats. The people I know who worked with her all have nothing but incredibly glowing things to say about her. Worked right up to the end. A real loss.

Keaton., gosh... One of the many problems of getting older is that every passing year, the obits feel a little more personal, a little more devastating, and a lot more like they leave a hole where something crucial existed.
