Long read. Difficult at times. Read anyway and bear witness.
I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Rob Reiner, at worst, should have won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. At best, he should have received an honorary Oscar.

It's possible he turned it down multiple times, but this should be rectified.

“Oh you mean THIS gate key.”

“I’m just as God made me, sir.”

“I had some more fried food for lunch.”

Even the throwaway lines by day players in Rob Reiner movies landed. He delighted in everything.

Justin T. Lee, the animator, quickly followed it up with an equally brilliant Voyager animation. He captured the Filmation TAS style perfectly! /2

A House of Dynamite is yet another brilliant thriller from Kathryn Bigelow, and the most frightening "horror" film I've seen in a long time. 🥵
