The cat was the greatest part of Caught Stealing, a film I enjoyed. At a certain point in the film, I leaned to my partner and said, "I'm disappointed he didn't turn into Peter Capaldi this time." 🤔😅😔
According to Darren Aronofsky, the cat in Caught Stealing, called Tonic, is one of the best actors he's worked with. Tonic would always give them what they needed or respond to the scene in ways that made it better 🤔

It's certainly not me.
We like what we like & respect where it's due, but if you ask me the criteria for World's Greatest Playwright is 'Who has pushed the form most?' While Beckett was alive it was Beckett, then it was Pinter, & since his death it's been Caryl Churchill.

In an act of deep-cut revenge, Heathcliff played Garfield. Such a bitter cat...
Gumby's film LASAGNA: A BRENTWOOD STORY - in which Garfield is reportedly tried, convicted, & put to death for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson - has been suppressed by legal troubles since 1997

A screening of The Muppet Movie this afternoon. It remains a charming, lovely family offering, but it's also Henson's peak achievement. That final shot with every Muppet is a triumphant moment.

I love Michael McKean, but it's kind of a shame Edie didn't get higher billing. Also, using Kevin Bacon & William Windom & giving them no lines is a Big Move. I think a person could watch the whole film with the sound off & get all of the story right, including most of Del's secret. It's that good.
Edie McClurg improvised the phone call. You know the one. Steve Martin’s speech was written, hers wasn’t. Hughes told her to make Thanksgiving plans. He was stunned how perfect it was & asked her how she did it. She said, ‘I do what you do, I take from my life.’

Reading the Candy bio by @pulmyears.bsky.social Del was very toned down in the edit. It's worth noting that PT&A was edited by Paul Hirsch, who came up with DePalma, and edited Star Wars with Marcia Lucas. The edit is perfection and a big reason people will love that film forever.
Remember, Planes, Trains & Automobiles closed with a long speech by Del about his dead wife. It's right they cut it. The movie works better putting it in our imagination. The footage may or may not still exist. It wasn't released with the remaster. You can read it.. but still, can you imagine?

The one everyone wants to see will be part of the Christmas 2026 special. You don't make soup of the good bits.

Dick Van Dyke, everything about him, is a one-off. He learned by watching others, but he wasn't taught by those people. A star is natural, honest, and totally themselves.
I got a free ticket to the Mary Poppins musical when it came out. I liked it fine. Richard Eyre did it, & it uses a lot of old-time theatrical tricks. I forget who played Bert, I smiled, but this man was a trained dancer & he wasn't a drop on DVD, who TAUGHT HIMSELF TO DANCE & is just beautiful.
Mary Poppins came out when I was three. Those were the first British accents I ever heard. DVD’s will always be the gold standard for me of how to do it.

You can feel ancient, too.
Whenever I want to feel old, I look up how many guests of the Muppet Show have died.

Saw it tonight. I endorse the statements of Mr. Sherin. Don't think anything could have prepared me for the dogs, though.
Jennifer Lawrence reminds me of Gena Rowlands in A Woman Under the Influence. Pattinson is good - he's always good - but he doesn't have much to do. Credit him for again seemingly wanting nothing more than to work with a great filmmaker.

I would just hire Steve Coogan, should we ever be found lacking.
Michael Caine, previously coolest Londoner who ever lived, has sold his voice to AI 😑
Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day
