in your opinion, completely subjective, no metrics and no judgment, what are the best written movies of all time? I don't care if you have never seen a screenplay in your life, just which story itself is the most moving and complete and perfect to you?

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

With Doctor Who, James Bond and the Pope all about to be recast, is there anyone you think would be ideal in all three roles?

I have not seen all Best Picture winners but can honestly say - if it wins it will be the worst best picture ever.

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

I had measles as a little kid. It’s one of my earliest memories, probably because it was such a long and miserable experience.
And measles are dangerous. So antivaxxers who subject their own and other kids to it are not my favorite people!

25 years ago Measles was officially eliminated from the US.
Take a bow, antivaxxers.

This may be the hardest line Albini ever wrote, and it's one we should remind ourselves of whenever anyone says they're anti-woke or uses woke as a perjorative.
