- A special movie night on a pile of pillows showing my kids The Princess Bride a couple weeks back was one of the best film experiences I’ve ever had. Devastating news. Rob Reiner brought so much joy to the world.
- There are exactly two ways introducing myself to someone goes. 1. “What do you do?” “Film critic” “And people pay you for that?” 2. “What do you do?” “Journalist” “What type of journalist?” “Culture mostly” “Fun…. And people pay for you for that?”
- Apple not providing screeners for Pluribus is just so damn mean.
