Goes by fast but the third film looks to be Joan Darling’s FIRST LOVE starring William Katt, Susan Dey and Beverly D’Angelo.

All I can think to say about the Cliff Booth trailer is I enjoyed seeing the LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR and BLACK SUNDAY billboards in front of Paramount.

The question shouldn't be who should host The Muppet Show but who should do it who also hosted it back in the day. Rita Moreno and Paul Williams probably go at the top of the list.

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

On this day four years ago I was walking around Santa Fe and spotted this photo of old timey cowboys in a store window.

The new Muppet Show catches the right spirit and is good enough to think it'll get even better when/if they make more episodes. I enjoyed spotting long unseen characters wandering around backstage.

Haven't seen this one mentioned but the way Catherine O'Hara uses a Southern twang to say things like "Thelma Rice is having an affair" in HEARTBURN is something that does enter my head on occasion, I have to admit.

RIP Catherine O’Hara.

The thing about ranking Sam Raimi films is I've seen some so many times but not in years since I got burned out on them. I guess I like all of them (even FOR LOVE OF THE GAME) except for OZ. EVIL DEAD II is no. 1, not a unique opinion. My preferred ARMY OF DARKNESS is the theatrical.
