Getting word that the new Will Gluck movie is bad, impossible as that may be to believe

Pepper has never had to read a Donald Trump tweet

The fact that this drooling pants-shitting whitewashing dipshit thinks these two things are remotely comparable really tells you who the fuck he is, doesn't it

'sex, lies, and videotape' was released on this day in 1989. A deep dive on why it was such a groundbreaker:

How ‘sex, lies, and videotape’ Changed Indie Filmmaking ForeverIt began with three brief items in his notebooks. “A film about deception and lost earrings,” went one. “Everybody has a past,” went another. And finally, “Friend on the couch. Affair with the wife.”…flavorwire.com

Trying to keep in mind all the fun stuff I get to do this week as karmic counterweight while inching closer to the moment when I have to reach out to WBD for comment on a piece

Happy birthday to Hitch's horniest, released on this day in 1954:

Classic Corner: Rear Window — Crooked MarqueeAlfred Hitchcock’s 1954 favorite (out now in a gorgeous new 4K transfer) remains one of his most effective movies – and one of his kinkiest.crookedmarquee.com

Billy Bob Thornton was born on this day in 1955. I interviewed him for the old site:

Flavorwire Interview: Billy Bob Thornton on Returning to Directing in ‘Jayne Mansfield’s Car’It has been 12 years since Miramax Films unceremoniously dumped Daddy and Them, the third film written and directed by Billy Bob Thornton, into a straight-to-cable release and, it seemed, put an end…flavorwire.com

Very proud to say this is the kind of thing you'll only read on @crooked-marquee.bsky.social!

Em-dashes are a gift to writers who value rhythm and tempo in their writing, and who like to sweep the reader up in a continuous stream of thought. Quitting them because of AI is very much a Michael Bolton "Why should I change? He's the one who sucks" situation.

It's such a self-own for a one-time giant in a political party to admit that he's roughly as relevant as a fucking YouTuber

New clip! Dan Aykroyd can be somewhat divisive, and Mike has some thoughts on why his persona doesn’t really work in NEIGHBORS. Watch the full episode on YouTube: buff.ly/UKMD7DB Listen on Apple podcasts: buff.ly/3M05pFK Listen on Spotify: buff.ly/3xzwcWQ

Wes Craven was born on this day in 1939. When he passed in 2015, I wrote this piece about his place in the history of horror:

Remembering Wes Craven: The Gateway Filmmaker for a Generation of Horror FansWes Craven’s Scream wasn’t supposed to be a smash. When it opened in December of 1996, in the midst of a particularly crowded holiday movie season, it was only on 1400 screens; it came in fourth for…flavorwire.com

What's funny about doing them simultaneously is that they're entirely at odds with each other. "Hey remember when I was in charge during the most miserable and traumatic year of all of our lives? It's absolutely impossible that you didn't re-elect me at the end of that!"

Not sure how spending all of their time re-litigating Trump's monstrous failures of 2020 is going to help people in any way, much less motivate anyone to vote for his party, but I’m just a simple country film critic
