I don't know why people criticize the electoral college. In this century, it only reverses the will of the people 40% of the time.

- So grateful I got to do this story on actor Tim Curry, who faces his considerable struggles with minimal bitterness, and with his thriving sense of humor. (Didn’t make the piece, but he enjoyed making The Hunt for Red October and he adored Sean Connery).
- The IQ bashing of Harris is particularly revolting. She may not be your candidate, but no one who’s worked with her thinks she’s dumb. It is, of course, steeped in racism and misogyny. Curious if guys like Gibson were troubled by George Bush’s intellectual depth…(they weren’t).Mel Gibson voiced support for Donald Trump and said that Kamala Harris has a "miserable track record. No policies to speak of. She’s got the IQ of a fence post." bit.ly/40eYxf7
- I know people are upset, but name one movie where the music or the editing made a difference?The eight #Oscars categories that will be awarded off the air are... - Documentary short - Film editing - Makeup and hairstyling - Original score - Production design - Animated short - Live action short - Sound bit.ly/3JGNX4S
- This is really something. A memorable moment with Gene Hackman from Inside the Actor’s Studio.
00:00 - Today on @CBSSunday Morning, my talk with one of our time’s signature characters - and character actors - Tim Curry. 11 years after a stroke, he’s still charming, funny, and entirely fearless.
00:00 - Thank you, Mark. You have been so supportive of @tcm. And you don’t have to imagine it. We’re not going anywhere.
- In these uncertain times, your commitment to justice serves as an inspiration to North Americans all over North America.It’s the 4 year Leak-iversery. UPDATE: Still searching for the bastard who leaked our test footage onto the internet causing Deadpool to receive a green light. Taking over the investigation myself. #Angry.
- I’ve met and interviewed more directors than I can remember. Good ones and great ones and ordinary ones. No serious filmmaker says something as repugnantly self-promotional as “my films are easily the most influential documentaries of the decade.” I don’t know. Maybe it’s you.Replying to @MattWalshBlogOne thing I’ve learned after getting into filmmaking is that the Left truly believes it owns the art of filmmaking. Any conservative who makes a film is an intruder, a sinister usurper showing up in a place where he doesn’t belong. The truth is that the success of my films — and
- I do not mean to overstate my friendship with Michael Brooks. So many others knew him better. But his death has shaken me...I recorded this to remind myself - and anybody who cares to listen - about the value of respecting friendship.
00:00 - I once caught a car crash from my best friend, who already had car crash and didn’t tell me and we went and shared popcorn at Every Which Way But Loose and then I got car crash bad and Dr. Phil isn’t a medical doctor or an economist.Dr. Phil appears on Laura Ingraham and says we don’t shut the country down for automobile deaths, cigarette related deaths, and swimming pool deaths
00:00 - Robert Redford stands as one of the best - and the most under appreciated - actors of his generation. I’ll add this: No one was better at talking on the phone in a movie (3 Days of the Condor, All the President’s Men). If you can act on a phone call, you can act, period.
