    My memory of Claudia Cardinale is indeed a blessing. Saw her in a rerelease showing of Once Upon A Time In The West in a big-screen theater in D.C. at the age of 12. Have not been right since.

    I've watched the last hour or so of Once Upon A Time In The West on The Movie Channel and am absolutely hooting and hollering. I've seen it many times before but also it is important that people know how cool movies can be.

    Emilia Perez is one of the worst films ever nominated for an Academy Award...and I Saw the TV Glow (top movie of 2024, imo) is arguably the best to get completely shut out since Once Upon a Time in the West. The Academy voters are the sorriest collection of philistines in all of American media.
