Pop music, especially when it’s categorized as ”Top 40,” is often derided as inferior to so-called “authentic“ music. But go look at any chart-topping list from any year. There are always really good songs, with a few outright masterpieces sprinkled in.
My essay for the 4K release of TROUBLE IN PARADISE—Ernst Lubitsch's masterpiece—is up at the @criterion.bsky.social website.

Tim Cook is stepping down from Apple to spend more time kissing up to Donald Trump with his family.
The law firm Kash Patel hired for his defamation suit was a major player in the landmark People vs. Foster Brooks case, so he’s not fucking around.
Would You Like To Know More about Patrick Muldoon? There’s plenty to know. He acted in many shows and movies. But he was in Starship Troopers, and that alone is a huge deal to me. Another good one leaving this world way too soon. Rest In Peace.
Happy 4/20 to everyone but especially to @frankconniff.bsky.social
Man, the Strait of Hormuz closed quicker than the musical version of Carrie.
"My soul is humble when I see the way little ones accept their lot. Lord, save little children. The wind blows and the rain's a-cold. Yet they abide...They abide."
That look when you need to get your court card signed at an AA meeting before heading to the Applebee’s bar for lunchtime drink specials.
Kash Patel steps forward to deny reports of excessive drunkenness.
A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Fuck you.
New euphemism for "pure, unadulterated horseshit" just dropped
The Iran War is over if you’re at the White House, still going on if you leave. Kind of a Severance thing.
This is the same Joe Rogan everyone in the media has been telling us is turning on Trump and it means everything? Huh.
Sorry, but this is wrong. If I can rattle off 15 stone cold bangers from artist without even looking at a Wikipedia page, they’re a GOAT.
“Joe Rogan criticized Trump! He’s part of the resistance now!“ — Dumbasses, a couple weeks ago.
Russell Brand walking into a court hearing with a bible. I didn’t know he was a prop comic.
That time on Sabrina when I shared the screen with the delightful Melissa Joan Hart, playing a full-grown baby (type casting).
"I don't even know what that phrase means and I doubt that I said that... How I can I answer something that I didn't say... I'd like to hear the recording."
Okay RFJ Jr. Here you go. Here's you caught lying on tape:

"How can Democrats claim to be the party of change, going into the November midterms and then 2028, if they’re led by someone who always resists it?"
My case for the Dems chucking out Chuck Schumer, especially after his recent arms-to-Israel vote:
I love how The Pitt has subtly but effectively said what needs to be said about the health insurance crisis, anti-vax madness and "free birth" insanity. All while celebrating science. Bravo.
Is It’s Always Fair Weather a movie musical masterpiece, right up there on the same level as Singin’ In The Rain, The Bandwagon, An American In Paris, and On The Town? Why YEEEEESSSSS!
The Pitt season two finale stuck the landing.
Oh, hell yes to this.
Brian Williams already came back from his ”conflagration sin”! He hosted an MSNBC show for years after his lies were revealed. To me an even bigger scandal is he let Generals promote the Iraq War on his show without revealing they were war profiteers who worked for military contractors. He sucks.
“Watch out for snakes.”
Oh, wait, you said wrong answers only. Sorry.
I did a spot check on CNN and saw Scott Jennings on. Wondered how long it would take him to lie. Answer: 30 seconds, at which time he said Trump‘s war with Iran was a chance “to take away their nuclear weapons.”
Fact check: They don’t have nuclear weapons.
Also a fact: CNN pays Jennings to lie.
Netflix is a joke.
What happened here on my phone app, Bluesky? One too many Joe Besser references? Not enough Arnold Stang posts? What gives?
