goes without saying hackman was a titan of cinema, and maybe it's because i'm a millennial (and because i too had a useless father) but his portrayal of royal tenenbaum is one of my favourite performances of all time. wrote about it a little bit in my first ever lwl byline lwlies.com/articles/wes...

I already knew his big hits, but it was watching Gene Hackman in ANOTHER WOMAN that made me realise, quite calmly and in real time, that this was the greatest, the most complete, screen actor of all time.

Why did it become a selling point that actors do their own stunts? It means the stunts have to be less crazy. Give stunt-performers the work and make stunts crazy again. So Daisy Ridley, Tom Cruise etc - You ain't Jackie Chan, give stunt work to the pros so I can watch them nearly die on screen.

Of all the ridiculous trends I’ve seen come and go in my 55 years, cruelty is the stupidest. But I am here to attest: ALL TRENDS GO OUT Like the tide. And puffball skirts. And over-tweezed eyebrows 💚

2024 was the deadliest year for journalists, and nearly two-thirds of them were killed by Israel. The silence about this isn't negligence. It's a calculated decision by our leaders to let authoritarian regimes know that killing reporters is a permissible tool of repression.

I have seldom been more grateful that we stopped reviewing MCU garbage than I am this morning. I will say that a good portion of the issues w/these things is the complete lack of insight at the top into the inner lives of women and minorities. This is the exact programming Republicans want to see.
