I don't know many sports melodramas better than "Million Dollar Baby." So I'm chuffed that the Hollywood Theatre will present it -- in 35mm!! -- on August 21 and I get to chat about it after with David Walker. A rousing, shattering film and good talk.

The New York Times dropped a list of 20 books to read in July, which seems a bit aspirational. But do consider this one, which they really seem to get. (Full review TK, we're told🤞🏼)

New Yorker by birth, upbringing, and nervous system, and although I know I'm not really a stakeholder in the matter, I *do* think this is a legitimate reason to be leery of the soon-to-be new mayor.

On this day 31 years ago, on a train going from Budapest to Vienna, the greatest romance in all of movies began. Happy first date-versary to Celine and Jesse. May we be privileged enough to eavesdrop on you one more time, at least!
