@OscopeLabs @BilgeEbiri @QuadCinema Wish I was there! Really liked Going All the Way in 1997 and went on to read Dan Wakefield's sharp, bittersweet novel. Such a tonic to the corrosive 1950s nostalgia that I grew up with in the 1980s. Excited that it's getting a second life.

@mattzollerseitz One of the best episodes of the original British version of Ghosts is when ghost hunters visit the mansion.

@ststerling Took my sister to that Hart Plaza show - it was her first concert. Even wrote Marshall Crenshaw a fan letter telling him so, and he replied that he was honored, and that his first concert was Gary Lewis and the Playboys.

@ststerling I just hope with the restoration of the bandshell that someone is putting together an exhibit or book about the amazing musicians who performed at the Michigan State Fair. Every genre and the stars of their time.

@mattprigge This could be an amazing life-long Cindy Sherman project: from his protestor days to the mitten meme.

This is disgusting… Who tricks the most vulnerable? We ended up in the Bronx because a real resettlement office opened in the local Synagogue. The amazing people who worked there helped us in all ways: understanding bills, getting clothes, plates, etc. donated from community. 💔

Don’t let them take Tilda Swinton back.

It's Joe Strummer's birthday, and it's a happy surprise to be reminded of the time we spent together at Lili's in Detroit, singing in Lee Dorsey's hotel room, and talking for this Creem story I did.

Just rebrand your campaign as The Lubitsch Touch.

@rarefilmm I highlight the text, copy and paste onto a word document. Just have to do some reformatting.

Watching the Rankin/Bass Easter special for the thousandth time and only just now realizing that Antoine the caterpillar is a nod to David Niven in A Matter of Life and Death

Physical media fans, come and bid against me! Massive collection of Criterion titles, mostly brand new. You'll also be helping Rob help his friend's family.

@mattzollerseitz Presumed Innocent is one of the best movies shot in Detroit, making great use of downtown buildings. Although I always laugh at the fictional commuter ferry because the other side of the river is Ontario, Canada, not the Detroit suburbs.
