This is me with “Return to Paradise” today. (The four-word one was tough because I spent the only one I could think of on the Stiller square and was stuck still I started thinking in terms of uncredited cameos.)

Man, wait till he shows up at the convention and discovers his former OMB chief Russ Vought helped draft both Project 2025 AND the RNC platform.

Oh, I'm just operating under the assumption that he's going to insist that you meet the cat, because once you do, his determination to get back home will all make sense.

If you didn’t already know this, I think it is vitally important that you know the name of Jason Mranz’s ranch is “The Mranch.” I hope when you go there he does that to all words starting with r. “This is the Mrefrigerator, that’s the Mroomba, here’s the Mrec Mroom.”

The new “Beverly Hills Cop” movie is reminding me that there supposedly exists a completed 2-hour version of “Another 48 Hrs.” that was almost released, and then the studio panicked and cut a half hour out of it a week before release. Someone should restore that while Walter Hill’s still alive.

Lmao they just changed the title of the piece from “Why I don’t vote” to “Why I won’t vote” rather than tell readers that the guy actually does vote

For about the millionth time, I’ll just say — having a public editor who could ask people how this happened and lay it out for readers would actually make the paper look better than fucking up this badly and then walking away from it without saying a word.

I get that you have to rationalize things however you can, but I like that Michael Rooker — a man who has been in multiple Marvel movies — is somehow still under the impression that all movies nowadays are 90 minutes long.

On the off-chance that you may be wondering what Joe Biden sounds like in a full-length back-and-forth interview these days, this radio interview from this morning — albeit with an extremely friendly questioner — may be of interest! (You have to scroll back to the start of the live broadcast.)

I say this having gone through periods of depression, suicidality & self-harm. Hopelessness is something I can’t avoid but I can choose to believe that it will pass, especially if I work with other who struggle with the same things. Hopelessness and community can’t exist in the same heart for long.

(20 governors watch as Biden does one-armed pushups while singing “Yakko’s World” from “Animaniacs”. Later they all express regret at not having brought cameras.)

Oh man, I don’t think I knew he did “Without Limits”. I remember catching up with in as an in-flight movie after it basically disappeared from theaters in a single weekend and being blown away by it.

Thoughts and prayers to the person whose livelihood depends on routinely listening to the plot of “Dressed to Kill” being confidently recited as scientific fact before they can get to, like, discussing Butterbeer licensing in Croatia or whatever.

I sometimes think about how He Gets Us spent millions on a Super Bowl ad that was just AI artwork of people washing each others’ feet and the words “HE WASHED FEET” and we all went, “huh, that’s weird” and just moved past it instead of treating it as one of the most bonkers ads ever.

Every time I get a text or a call inviting me to take part in a poll, I think “this is a scam” and ignore it, and I’m thinking (a) polls might overrepresent people who never have that thought in their lives, and (b) that might vastly benefit one candidate over another.

After years of reading rave reviews we’re watching “Evil” and four episodes in — and I’m asking this as someone who likes it just fine—is… is this the whole show? Is there another gear that it kicks into or…?

It’s a small act of resistance but every time I get a glimpse into the atmosphere on this issue in the UK I think about how Russell T. Davies made a deliberate choice to give Donna Noble a trans daughter and put her front and center in one of the most beloved British TV series of all time.

I do the Box Office Game quiz where you have to remember/guess the top five movies from a historical weekend, and yesterday's was from the summer of 1999, and the image they used for a certain Hugh Grant romcom has guaranteed I'll never think of it by any other title.

"Jonathan Chait, a full-time columnist for New York Magazine, was lightly criticized by a person posting for free on Twitter. This shows that the scale of public debate has tilted too far to the left, and you can take that from me, a person with a column in the New York Times."

Just the other day I was looking for the "Behind the Behind the Music" sketch and realized it's gone now because that site was all QuickTime. I'm just glad that someone rescued the Jewel parody "Wolverine's Prayer" and put it on YouTube.

It's funny -- that was the standard photo for the show for such a long time. I think it was taken for the TDS 2004 Indecision DVDs and the network chose not to spend money on another photo shoot for years after that.

Separately but — his claim that he spent the last 15 years protecting everyone on set is a weird claim from someone who was almost never at the top of the call sheet on any movie he’s been in.

Voting in New York is fun because your ballot has the races you’ve heard about nonstop for months and then a list of 30 names for delegates to the state judicial convention, of which you have to choose 16, and the top results when googling their names are obituaries of people with similar names.
