Wait, they all hated Michael O'Leary and wanted him fired? He probably should've been in the 90s tbh but...

Relevant - chill out, folks.

Still astonished to see Jessica Chastain playing Carolyn in the 2004 pilot. Wow. There's a lot that doesn't work about this pilot but some that does. If nothing else it proves the brand is still immortal and could be brought back at any time. (If I had any energy left for DS myself I'd consider pitching.) I wonder if that 2019 project is still going forward when the pandemic ends. Amusing that this pilot is also using not only the Jennifer Eight score I loved in '90s episodes of Loving (albeit overused there) as a temp soundtrack, but also Michael Small's classic score from Klute. Some music never ages. I'd forgotten it was shot by P.J. Hogan, who is talented, and while the cinematography is obviously fucked up on YouTube, it still is clearly lit like Italian horror, a favorite genre of mine. Gorgeous if a bit OTT here.

I had no idea Justina was on DWTS (with Anne Heche!).

There's more.

Amanda Seyfried plays Marion Davies in David Fincher's upcoming Netflix film Mank, about Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz. From an interview with Collider:

Amanda Seyfried (AMC, ATWT) plays Marion Davies in David Fincher's upcoming Netflix film Mank, about Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz.

I expected this might happen at some point.

Disappointment palpable:

Now trending: "Poseidon"

I understand the concern given how DeJoy is still trying to sabotage the post office, but given the very very bad impact of this story I'm not convinced they will cut the funding before the election.

Is he trying to goad Kelly into going on the record?? Not wise. Caveat, as always, with the authors below: On Stars & Stripes, Trump swiftly reverses himself:

He already recut OFTH once years ago. It was his vision from beginning to end, I believe. I love it.

Not "lost" per se, but interesting vis a vis Coppola's recent restoration and recutting of The Cotton Club into a much better film: I will always have a soft spot for Francis, and I've never found Godfather III quite as bad as some do though it is definitely nowhere near as good as the first two films, and has massive flaws. (Chief among them being Sofia Coppola replacing Winona Ryder at the last minute, though IMO she still has some sweet chemistry with Andy Garcia, and the loss of Robert Duvall) I know a lot about the making of the film though, and I'm not sure how much they could add or change. But given how rapturously Cotton Club Encore was received this past year, I will reserve judgment - I'm intrigued.

He's doing the right thing with that message. I hope it spreads far and wide, so to speak.
