    I shit you not, the Secret Service just completely locked down Mar-a-Lago in a frantic movie to protect Trump after a popping noise was reported. Turns out it was a neighbor shooting Iguanas with a pellet gun on his own property. Florida is going to Florida.

    Just saw an ad for 60 minutes tonight. It look like garbage. They have one of those movie announcer voiceover guys talking about the amazing work of the Secret Service. No mention of the corruption or the failures. How sad for what was once a great show.

    Awarding the coveted David Roth "What A Picture" status to The Secret Agent (2025). Another really humane, inventive, and nicely nasty movie about trying to remain human in very bad times that is also a blast to watch pretty much from start to finish.

    Also, because I am a film journalist after all: this new generation coming up has not lived under Brazil’s harrowing dictatorship or felt its terrible after effects in the 80s and 90s, so recent films like I’M STILL HERE and THE SECRET AGENT have been key in helping educate this new crop of voters.
