🇨🇱 Rest well Patricio Guzmán (1941-2026), the great documentary filmmaker whose films included THE BATTLE OF CHILE trilogy and NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT.

Crying 🤣….Back in August, South Park writer Toby Morton anticipated that Trump would add his name to the Kennedy Center so he purchased the domain names for https://t.co/HUrFGJkHrY and https://t.co/qJYh1ucyli with plans to troll Trump like he did with his Boebert site https://t.co/pLWcXV8xcb

RIP the legendary Tom Stoppard. Among his more famous achievements, he radically rewrote Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (under the pen-name Barry Watson), adding most of the thrilling beats and hilarious gags.

One of my favourites: the cut to Brody, after being hyped up as a master of spycraft, lost and blithering in a Turkish market.

For those unaware of how amazing Tatsuya Nakadai was, here's my favorite quote from Akira Kurosawa himself about how he nailed one of the greatest shots in film history in a single take. What a legend

[Variety @Variety]

Cliff Booth is back! Brad Pitt is set to reprise his "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" role in a new movie at Netflix directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino.

The Cliff Booth movie came together after Tarantino scrapped plans for what would’ve been his 10th (and allegedly final) feature, “The Movie Critic.” A script had been written and Brad Pitt had been cast in the lead role. The story was said to take place in the '70s and follow a film critic who wrote for a porn magazine. It had been rumored that Pitt would be playing some version of his “Once Upon a Time” character, who in Tarantino’s novelization of his own feature was revealed to be quite the movie buff. Now, Pitt will officially reprise the role in a film that reunites him with his "Seven" and "Fight Club" director.

This is possibly the most insane national security story in the last 50 years. Includes a massive text chain between senior members of the Trump admin gaming out foreign policy and war plans on Signal, and they accidentally added a reporter to the group chat.

Journalists jailed for an article they published. In America. How was this allowed to happen?

RIP to the 10th world champion, Boris Spassky, here looking over my shoulder at my match with Hübner in 1985. Boris was never above befriending and mentoring the next generation, especially those of us who, like him, didn’t fit comfortably into the Soviet machine. (He emigrated to France in 1976.) It was a pleasure to tell my stories and those of others about him in the third volume of My Great Predecessors. His rise as a prodigy, conquest of the crown against the invincible Petrosian on the second attempt, and decades of elite play are too often lost in the shadow of his dramatic title loss to Bobby Fischer in 1972 and the circus Fischer turned it into. But Spassky always wanted to play, and he handled the situation with impressive dignity. While his chess justified the "universal" label that frequently follows his name, his aggressive gambiteering style produced countless masterpieces. (Photo by @larsgrahn)

[Judit Polgar @GMJuditPolgar]

A world-class player, a true gentleman, and a vivid personality. To be around him was fun. No doubt he is one of the most cheerful World Champions! (See the 2nd pic from 1989, with 4 more world champions.) 🙂
Happy Birthday to the GREAT Boris Spassky! 🥂

RIP Boris Vasilievich Spassky

One of the most talented players of his generation, the 10th World Champion Boris Spassky has passed away at the age of 88.

Spassky was considered a chess prodigy. He attained the Grandmaster title at the age of 18 and made his debut in the Candidates Tournament (Amsterdam, 1956) at 19.

After defeating Keres (1965), Geller (1965), and Tal (1965) in Candidates matches, he earned the right to challenge Petrosian but lost the title match (Moscow, 1966). Spassky made it all the way up again in the next cycle and won the crown in his second match against the ninth world champion.

Spassky played seven times for the Soviet Olympiad team (1962–1978). In 1976, Spassky immigrated to France; he competed for France in three more Olympiads (1984–1988).

Gene Hackman has passed away at 95
A Legend and an Icon, Gene was one of the most powerful actors to ever grace the screen. You didn't mess with Hackman. I can't tell you how devastated I am by his passing. This one's hit me hard.
RIP Gene Hackman

@DiscussingFilm Incredible sad news. I hoped my favorite director would direct one last project. However he will always live through his art. Let's all raise a cup of black coffee to this legend.
