Robert Duvall… he was a bucket.

RIP Robert Duvall, one of my three or four favorite actors ever.

Him and Hackman gone within a year of one another: two relatively normal-looking guys who could drop the hammer at any moment onscreen. You never didn't believe them.

Viewing the 2026 Chicago Bulls.

Bulls can finally just start handing out guards as party favors.

Depressing return when it seemed like the Rockets were interested.

Did you think you were God?!

Thanks for reading, Katy! Even with its limitations, I highly recommend the movie.

Don't think I've ever reached such a profound level of apathy for the Bulls so early in a season.

CASINO was robbed from the Chicago movie canon, I tell you.

I explained how and why for @chicagoreader.com.

VOOCH!!! Break up the Bulls! Team of destiny!

About time.

Chicago Bulls

I regret to inform you I am earnestly thinking about the Bulls winning the East 4.5 games into the season

Ho hum, just another triumphant Bulls victory.

Patrick Williams playing like the tall, strong human he is.

Hobo Jungle is up there.

Since INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, I've waited for a movie wherein a man wearing a corduroy jacket stares forlornly out the window of a mid-century bus.

At last: THE MASTERMIND. I loved it.

Looks like the old art got overexposed and warped. I kinda like it.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER has by far the best car chase featuring a 2007 Chevy Uplander I've ever seen.

It is time.

Convinced more and more this is Uncle Neil's finest ensemble.

When RATATOUILLE turns 20, I fossilize.

Never thought I'd pine for the primitive CGI of the 1990s, but the opening titles of THE BIG LEBOWSKI—and of GUTTERBALLS—have got me pining.

RE: @letterboxd.social Ethics

What percentage of a movie must one watch in order to log it? I'd put the cutoff around 80%.

For instance, I caught two of three hours of THE SOUND OF MUSIC last night. I adjusted my rating, but I could not in good conscience claim to have done a rewatch.
