Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein.

I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

Shadow of a Doubt: The Enduring Mysteries of Exit Through the Gift Shop — Crooked Marquee Banksy may finally have been unmasked, but the ambiguities of his Oscar-nominated documentary remain as entertaining and intellectually stimulating as ever.

Back on the Marquee, this time exploring what makes EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP so damn rewatchable.

The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face:

Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences.

For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.

I can't recall a time when more talented reporters and writers on movies and culture who have real skill and knowledge are struggling to find a foothold. We live in an "Everyone's an expert" era. But everyone isn't. Editors: Please take a chance on folks you haven't tried before. Read their clips!

Great week of new movie releases for people named Grace.

If you didn't watch all eight LEPRECHAUN movies to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, you're doing it...right.

Bilbo baggins after all why shouldn’t i have it meme when he’s contemplating taking the one ring Caption says “there will always be some doubt that you deserve it but there is some pleasure in having it for myself”

Kraushaar is just a straight up bigot who gets off on the idea of bombing Iranians

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

How Stupid are 'Americans'? This stupid:

No president or defense secretary in modern memory has been less qualified, less knowledgeable, or more emotionally unfit to wage war than Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

A Matter of Time: L.A. Confidential and the Art of Aging Well — Crooked Marquee Nearly 30 years after its release, Curtis Hanson’s adaptation of James Ellroy’s corrupt cop thriller remains a riveting, intelligent watch.

Back on the Marquee, this time writing about one of my all-time favorite films and why it remains eminently watchable.

Wild way to find out MAGA hasn't seen THE LION KING.

The Goal Must Be Removal Putting all eggs in the basket of winning elections is a dangerous decision, when Trump's plan is to cheat in those elections.

In 2019, the thing that got Dems to stop avoiding conflict and fight Trump directly was that he got caught corrupting foreign policy to cheat in his own election. Self-preservation made it impossible to ignore. Whatever Trump has planned for 2026 is already underway. So Dems need that mindset back.

This is what embodying the American spirit looks like.

Alex Pretti is America.
Renee Good is America.
Liam Ramos is America.

We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us.

The deputy AG said they’re done reviewing the Epstein Files because jelly bellied cuntwaffling is exhausting & they’re tired of redacting Trump, who was never on the Island & is completely exonerated after being mentioned thousand of times by ppl he never ever ever knew. Ever.
