Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Thanks to this, I learned there was a Some Like It Hot TV pilot that begins with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon getting plastic surgery to explain why new actors are playing them, and then for... reasons, the guys with new faces still have to dress as women. I'm shocked it didn't go to series!

Vanity Fair has a great hour-long video interview with James Cameron, where he talks about all his films. Love hearing his conversations with Leonardo DiCaprio about his initial trepidation playing Jack in TITANIC.

This is a great list, but it's insane to me that there are no animated movies on it. SOUTH PARK: BLU, MITCHELLS VS THE MACHINES, SHREK, FANTASTIC MR. FOX, WALLACE AND GROMIT, LEGO, CLOUDY, DESPICABLE ME, ROGER RABBIT, there are so many.

SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE is a great standalone action sequel. Elegantly simple construction, joyously absurd violence, mythical escalation, and then somehow it genuinely moved me. Stephen Lang and Richard Brake with Russian accents are the perfect opposition for our Finnish Rambo.

Shocking but true. The cost of 24 episodes of prestige TV cost more than one two hour movie.

I drew a picture of Spider-Man. It was awful. The eyes and webbing were too hard. I decided I’d write things for people who can draw instead.
