Mooseport isn’t great but it’s inoffensive and nowhere near his worst. I always wondered if finally getting to work with Dustin Hoffman on Runaway Jury felt like a good note to start to wrap things up. Loose Cannons is legendarily bad but maybe he just looked at it as another paycheck.

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.
