You lot need Dick Van Dyke singing Let's Go Fly a Kite on his 100th birthday more than you know.

Rob Reiner didn't just make great movies. He made different *kinds* of great movies. His best films differ wildly in tone and style but not in quality. Everything from Princess Bride to Spinal Tap came with a palpable humanity, no matter the tack or genre. What a legacy! May his memory be a blessing

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Let us think about Ahmed El Ahmad, a 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah, and hope his lesson in solidarity is what we take from this horrific event

The best Muppet films for my money are the original Muppet Movie and Muppet Christmas Carol. I don't think it's a coincidence that they both feature music from Paul Williams. His songs like "Rainbow Connection" and "Scrooge" are so essential to the tone, spirit, and ultimate success of those films.

I did this completely by accident, but 'Wake Up Dead Man' and 'Fanny and Alexander' make for a surprisingly well-matched double feature: for the great and terrible power of stories and imagination on the one hand, and for the role of religion and spirituality in our lives on the other.

Wake Up Dead Man is a great film on its own merits. But without giving anything away, it also serves as a reminder that Rian Johnson was, and remains, a brilliant choice to tell stories within Star Wars.

I finished Tiny Toons! The last episode is an homage to It's a Wonderful Life, and I love the fact that only is Buster's guardian angel a pastiche of Jimmy Stewart, but in another nice nod, the angel turns out to be a six foot tall white rabbit named Harvey!

Time to fill in my biggest sci-fi blind spot. I am officially starting Doctor Who! This is my next big watch project, and I assume it'll only take me like thirty years or so to catch up.

2015's 'Krisha' is an extraordinary but emotionally brutal film. It reminded me of 'Rachel Getting Married' in its fly-on-the-wall realism mixed with the bracing truths of fractured families. The movie itself is outstanding, but it was probably a mistake to watch it on the day before Thanksgiving!

I wouldn't call the Ironheart series well-written exactly. There's too many tonal problems and rough bits of dialogue for that. But it's...soundly built? Every payoff has a setup. Every major character has a motivation that leads to some kind of emotional catharsis. It's not great, but it's sturdy.

A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.

Donald Trump's policies would be horrible no matter who they came from. But moments where he calls a reporter "piggy" after she asked him about the Epstein files are a reminder that the guy's personally just a piece of shit and completely beneath the dignity of his office.

It doesn't bother me that I made this same joke four months ago. It bothers me that the Mountain Goats retweeted this one.
