“‘Gladiator 2’ is a sequel, not a remake.” Sure. A sequel with a one to one casting/character breakdown as the first film. It’s just the same story with new character names, people. The only difference is that Denzel didn’t drink himself to death in the middle of production.

Uh oh. Weird Al just said he’s glad Biden got Covid. Guess that’s the last we’ll hear from him. #TourCanceled

(Lou Dobbs walks up to Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates) “Uh… hi. I’m… Bob Newhart.” “Nice try, asshole.”

I love this film. We just read the fan-fic novelization on the Authorized Novelizations Podcast. It dubiously comes up with a new ending that over-explains Mary’s fate. A real hatchet job & sexist to boot, but a fascinating read nonetheless. #MutantFam #TheLastDriveIn Diana “Darcy the Mail Girl” Prince 🤠💌 Joe Bob Briggs

Is it symmetry or laziness that Scar sings about “a warthog’s backside” and then 20 minutes later there’s a whole other song about the same subject? #TheLionKing

It's the middle of Summer and the movie charts contain 10 films that I haven't seen, nor do I ever intend to see. What a profound bummer. Quite a different story 30 years ago. boxofficemojo.com/weekly/1994W30…

Kind of endearing that the IFC Center is still run by a bunch of Greenwich Village hippies who literally have to be reminded that the movie was supposed to start 15 minutes ago.

When someone says to you“why don’t you just kill yourself?,” it’s almost too tempting not to curse them with crippling guilt for the rest of their life.

Colleen Camp constantly calling Seymour Cassel “George” is all fine and good, but her repeatedly calling John Ritter “Charles” in “They All Laughed” is what made me fall in love with her forever. #TheLastDriveIn #TheMutantFam Diana “Darcy the Mail Girl” Prince 🤠💌 Joe Bob Briggs

"Where are his glasses??? He can't see without his glasses!!!" -what Anna Chlumsky should be saying about the poster of her own fucking movie #MyGirl #Authorized

Putting this in writing just so there’s a record of it. Please do not prosecute the people who sold me the drugs that killed me.

The only thing that would improve this poster is if it featured Byrne in the audience himself, maniacally laughing at a film that was decidedly not a comedy. This occurred for real at IFC Center one evening when I witnessed Byrne go full Max Cady at a humorless dramatic thriller. x.com/filmlinc/statu…

“If only my co-star, Ray Liotta, were here to see how friggin’ warm and good hearted my friend Vin Diesel is. Where is Ray, by the way? He hasn’t responded to my texts in months.” #Tyrese #Cryrese #VinDiesel #SexAssaultiesel

You know what is my favorite text to receive from a friend? “Hey! Look at this photo of this ugly fat guy. He looks just like you! Twinsies, am I right?” We were even wearing the same shirt.

Just secured 33 tickets to screenings at this year's NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL. Festival Booking Day is my most anticipated event of the year, and it makes my heart pitter pat like it's Christmas morning. Looks like a pretty exciting slate! Film at Lincoln Center #NYFF62
