A literal skeleton in my closet. I had more metabolism than talent

I shamelessly glommed onto a rare, pro Hudson Hawk post. Where were these expressions of joy in 1991?

Went to bed last night knowing nothing could taint my love for Shohei Ohtani and Late Night With The Devil

I don’t throw the word “masterpiece” around lightly—okay maybe I do, but still, every cut in this film elicited a laugh or a gasp

Pulled a Luise Rainer with back-to-back Razzies for Ford Fairlane/Hudson Hawk. Criterion Channel series inclusion would have turned my Lemons into Tragedy+Time=Comedy Lemonade but no, a snub on top of a snub

Loving the rancor behind this “Stop calling entertaining action movies stupid” discourse, but man, saw The Beekeeper last night and it really is great and really is bad

Oh man, I thought my bawdy Batman Returns Q&A was just between us American Cinematheque indiewire.com/news/general-n…

I try to avoid these time sucks, but perfect album released when you were 16? That’s 1978 for me people and at least 36 perfect albums came out then. Just one….

When I’ve had too much to drink, I Google “Daniel Waters Underrated” and enjoy the fireworks or at least the flickering sparklers. Happy 30th birthday to the rather adorable, Nostradumbass, Stallone Sleeperization Demolition Man movieweb.com/demolition-man…

The scaffolding is up on MY 500 FAVORITE FILMS 1903-2025 list and I need you good folk to tell me a movie you think I may not have experienced yet. Yes, I’ve seen Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Capricorn One, and Bykov’s Soviet masterwork, Scarecrow

It seems as if 10 years of the entire industry training audiences that they never have to directly pay for a movie has been bad for people paying for movies, who could have foreseen this

Life’s a bitch, now so’s this podcast.
It’s the PiP season 8 finale w/ very special guest Daniel Waters talking about the very special Batman movie he wrote that is really a Catwoman movie: Batman Returns!!

Going into surgery tomorrow. I’ve always been pretty cool about the prospect of death….but not during Succession and Barry’s final seasons. Don’t take me yet, Lord!

What did I do to deserve this? Thank you….but a shared writing credit with Stanley would have been nice. Sorry Michael Lehmann

34 years ago today, Heathers was hatched. Janet Maslin said “Legitimately Startling” and Pauline Kael said “the writer has a malicious ability in pinning down psychological cant.” How cool would it have been if I died in a helicopter crash the next day?
