can't think of anything more likely to put people off cinema than that numbnuts Letterboxd promo that asks (in gratingly insincere American voice) "Do you *love* MOVIES??" and ends "Join Letterboxd today!" sounding lobotomised throughout.

He also spoke (at some length) about wanting to reprise the role in part 3 as a half android version of Hitler (lower half), with a giant robot penis. I kid you not - he was having a very good night.

Saw Udo Kier on stage in Berlin in 2019 at the premiere of ‘Iron Sky 2’ (a film I am happy to defend). He played Hitler riding a T-Rex called Blondie, and was having a whale of a time at the premiere being a) very drunk and b) pleased as punch about the line ‘Sieg Heil, Mutter Ficker!’ Total legend.

Rewatching Shane Meadows’ Made Of Stone for a thing. It’s more love letter than documentary and works within those parameters but, man, that 2012 Heaton Park version of Fool’s Gold is utterly astonishing.

While unsurprisingly not like the greatest film ever, you know what’s far more fun and entertaining than it has any right to be? PRIMITIVE WAR. It’s a kick in the pants. Kinda wish I’d have watched this at the theater.

Probably worth pointing out Warner has also had the best year of any studio, creatively, gambling on non-IP projects from adventurous directors -- SINNERS, WEAPONS, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER -- and reaping the rewards.
(Gunn's SUPERMAN represented a different sort of gamble, but it also paid off.)

There’s no way around it—Warner Bros. being bought and sold is bad for theatrical exhibition. Consolidation is about cost-cutting, which means fewer movies in cinemas.

62nd anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, which is ONE focus of Edwin "Bud" Shrake's terrific 1972 novel STRANGE PEACHES. Author, steeped in numerous strata of Dallas society, was pals with the star stripper at Jack Ruby's nightclub!

Not a criticism of Mamdani in particular, but as long as we allow massively funded, heavily armed right-wing paramilitaries to have veto power over every aspect of public policy, it will be impossible to enact even the most basic social democratic reforms that a lot of liberals say they want.
Before his election, Mamdani was adamant: The CCRB should get final say in NYPD discplinary cases. Now, after retaining Tisch as NYPD commish, Mamdani's changing his tune, saying he's mainly focused on ensuring CCRB's "recommendations" are "taken seriously." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/20/m...
Mamdani softens hard line on role of NYPD watchdog in discipline after Tisch agrees to stay on
in the wake of announcing Wednesday that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch will stay in her post under his administration, Mayor-elect Mamdani took a step back.
