Congrats. Did I remember right that you were shooting on Orwo stock?

No, we are owned by Zeb the dog that played Jeb on Saban's VR Troopers.

Ah, but that is because Shadow Wilson's first was actually… Rossiere Wilson! Also a great name, btw.

Pre-1960 jazzmen were born with some of the most beautiful names. Illinois Jacquet, Phineas Newborn Jr., Coleman Hawkins, Bismark Beiderbecke, Tadley Dameron, Cabell Calloway, Albany Bigard, Adolphus Cheatham, Milton Hinton. And yet Monk is still the winner.

Here's every film theorist's all-time favorite story about Niels Bohr. It comes from the memoirs of Hendrik Casimir, a Dutch physicist who was one of Bohr's grad students in the 1920s and early '30s.

I can check a few more times, but I'm pretty sure this review doesn't open with a question, rhetorical or otherwise.

Irma Vep, his breakthrough. I'm pretty big on Late August, Early September as well. I think there are only a few great Assayas movies, but no bad ones.

Since about 3 years ago.

Bale has repeatedly stated that he isn't Welsh, though he's often incorrectly presumed to be because he was born in Wales.

Yes they are, as a matter of fact.

St. Andrew you're thinking of. St. Peter was crucified upside down.

Because they don't maintain great continuity and everyone involved with the films hates X3.

Classic '50s Westerns, actually. They're the apex of the genre.

Cool story, bro. Last I checked, Chance doesn't live in Wrigleyville or Midway, so he isn't one of their constituents.

I admire how much this movie asks the audience to put together on their own. Remember when they go to fix the Munsons' water? The discussion of corn, the implications of agri-business as ominous and in collusion government and other industries? It was in the food.

Here are "biases": I was baptized by Alexander Men, I used to teach Sunday school, my kids both have saints' names, and, when I can, I go to a lovely old church in my neighborhood. Unknowability and doubt have been cornerstones of Christian faith since the start. Logan is a better depiction of religious faith than…

One thing I appreciate about this movie is that it doesn't over-explain or force information into the mouths of characters who wouldn't know it or have a reason to say it out loud. So you only get a partial picture of her origin from the Elizabeth Rodriguez character. (What an affecting performance, by the way.)

Penguins Of Madagascar was the first movie my son saw in a theater. (I reviewed it for AVC, was also surprised by how much I liked it, and thought he'd like it too.) He was stupidly independent even as a 2-year-old and refused to sit with us, which was kind of adorable in its own way.

Though on The Bad Batch. No secret I hold a dissenting view on Amirpour's debut, but wonder what genre-buff types think of her work.

At the height of my son's obsession with trains, I actually worked at length on a piece on the subject of Thomas (called "At least the trains run on time," of course) which I was never happy with and decided to kill. Several condensed paragraphs from it made it into our parenting guide to Trains. http://www.avclub.com/…
