I just read the new SPINAL TAP book and there’s a moment where Rob Reiner and the rest of the cast ask each other which projects will lead their obituary. Rob was sure “Meathead” was going to be the first line of his.

Tonight, everyone’s teeing off with “one of the greatest directing runs ever”

I love this movie and I love Ethan Hawke, so I hope he just keeps on winning. (He's great in The Lowdown, too.)
The Boston Society of Film Critics votes for Ethan Hawke as Best Actor in "Blue Moon," and it ain't even close. Chalamet and Michael B. Jordan eating Hawke's dust, among others. #BSFC @bsfc.bsky.social

It’s time to talk about my cat. To which you might be saying, “Chuck, I didn’t know you had a cat!” and I’d respond with, “I didn’t know I had a cat either…

What a sad story.

A thing that I hope comes through in this report: the level of organization here — speaking of the various groups and efforts this family is involved with — is something to behold.

Near as I can tell, the average volunteers are regular people — but dadgum are the organizing.
NEW: Earlier this month, I spent the day with the Luhmanns — a family rooted in theologically conservative Christianity.

In the morning, the homeschooled teenage sons tracked ICE.

In the afternoon, the mother aided an immigrant mother whose partner was deported. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...
