Here's a trailer for AIRPORTS, the feature length mashup I made with the one and only Adam Rifkin.
Anyone who can get me an HD file of Brett Ratner's upcoming MELANIA doc would be doing the world a service, is all I'm saying.

My 9th grade English teacher called it after the 1980 election. She was anything but alone.
This has been a long time coming and don’t delude yourself that Trump is the reason.

Imagine telling someone from the 1980s that America will end up being run by a cabal of dimwitted Nazis led by a fat stupid paedophile

The Batman tv show is 60.
Adam West should have got an Emmy for this scene alone.
I love DeNiro, Washington, Day-Lewis etc but none of them have had an acting challenge like this.

Never understood the line "We can try to understand/The New York Times effect on man," but lately, it seems clear what that effect has been.

This is insane. Brooks says everyone is too blinded by ideology to see the truth of what the video shows. Then the host asks him what it shows and he refuses to answer.
“Left and right are equally to blame for everything all the time” is also an ideology!

Joe and I had a great time talking movies with the one and only Kristen Stewart, whose directoral debut THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER is fantastic. We've wanted her on the show for years, and she was every bit as thoughtful and passionate as we could have hoped.

How much are you going to pay doctors?
Which current hospitals get shut down ?
What happens if doctors opt out of the system ? Who is going to invest in new curative therapies. You ?
How much in taxes pr year do you think it's possible to collect if you took every penny from billionaires?

Half the amount that everyone currently pays could provide universal healthcare. Private health companies don’t need to exist. Eliminate them. And use your collective buying power and economies of scale to get it done. Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.
