The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
Interesting bit from a speech Cory Booker gave yesterday at the Michigan Democratic Women's Caucus in Detroit: (Full speech here: www.c-span.org/program/camp...)
A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.
Whatever you do,

"Marvel Studios Moves Film Production from Georgia to UK's Pinewood Studios"
"Reasons for the move include cheaper labor and studios not being required to subsidize workers’ medical expenses, as the U.K. has universal healthcare."
"Nearly the entire department has been let go."
I can't imagine how devastating this is for those who worked at Disney and Marvel.
It should be mentioned in this article that Marvel Studios moved from Georgia to the UK in 2025. .
Across the U.S., the volume of movie and TV on-location production filming slowed in the first quarter of this year, with one state marking an exception: New Jersey.

looks delicious
So cool!
I love all of the scenes shot on location, walking the streets of NYC. Especially the night time scenes. Whatever lenses (or filters) it was shot with created this beautiful halation. I’ve never seen this film before but I assume Scorsese had. It’s scratching a similar itch as #TaxiDriver
This evening I am watching #WhoKilledTeddyBear (1965) by Joseph Cates. TCM called it a “noir”. Sure. It’s an overtly sexual psychological thriller.
Cast: Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray And Elaine Stritch. Watched on @tcmtv.bsky.social #nfotd
