He also really elevated and empowered many of those voices early on
When I think of his movies, I think of many other voices: Nora Ephron, Stephen King, Aaron Sorkin, Christopher Guest, Kathy Bates, William Goldman. To me that speaks of generosity, of a spirit of collaboration, of understanding that filmmaking is not a one-man operation. I wish we had more like him.

I've noticed that among movie lovers here, lately there's a renewed appreciation of the craft and polish of '80s/'90s studio movies--their pleasure and polish, their entertainment value.

We are devastated and heartbroken by the shooting this weekend at a Hanukkah gathering in Sydney. We mourn with the victims and their loved ones, and we hold our community close in grief and fear. May the memories of the 15 people killed, the 15 universes destroyed, be a blessing.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

LAPD can continue to use military weapons, foam bullets and tear gas after City Council vote.
The LA City Council voted 8-4 to let LAPD keep using foam bullets and tear gas despite documented misuse during this summer’s anti-ICE protests and over $50M in civil rights violation payouts last year.

Want to write a long appreciation of one of the greatest American actors, Leonardo DiCaprio. He’s once again delivered what would be career-defining work for most. But even the deserved praise he’s gotten has the undercurrent of a shrug. We are sadly taking him for granted. (I’m not. But many are.)

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
