Jo Biden was just diagnosed with aggressive cancer. 1. F*ck you to all the vultures who have fixated on his health while ignoring both Trump's current mental condition and dismembering of democracy. 2. Even at 50% capacity, Biden was 100 times the President Trump will ever be.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Maybe let's not play partisan games with a cancer diagnosis, okay?
Joe Biden is a public servant. He’s served his country proudly his entire life. He deserves an opportunity to rest, be with his family, and have a fighting chance at recovery.
Just be normal, and pray for him.
Football, according to our 3 year old son:
“You go ‘two, forty two, HIKE!’ And then you run so fast! And then you get a touchdown and you know what happens? You win and you get a surprise!”
Which is close enough to the mark, especially compared to what he thinks leprechauns are.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. The Biden I remember from those days always seemed to enjoy the give and take with reporters. Of course, he wanted to be president. But he sat out the 2016 campaign after losing his son Beau to cancer. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campai…

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

Please take note of my nephew’s place in the CLE half marathon this morning. 444th. Incredible.

it's really, really good to have you pause for a few minutes (or, in this case, a little more, I'd wager a little more) and indulge your VOLUNTARY passion for OUR benefit (although I more than suspect it feels pretty good for you as well). one of those odd little--and very minor--coincidences is that I re-watched the 1938 "Dawn Patrol" a few days ago. I've never seen the 1930 version that Hawks directed, but I bet you have. it's been a shitty day here for entirely personal reasons, so reading this was even better for taking my mind off my own shit for awhile. and, because of your Eisner story, my best friend of 6o years just left ten minutes ago, and he was the most-used orchestrator on a bunch of Disney features. he has nothing good to say about the assholes who run things there. and it's inconceivable that ANYONE could prefer Mickey to Bugs. in fact, I've always thought that Mickey has always had something kind of Nixonian about him, quite aside from Walt's incredibly vindictive, lying union-busting and (at the very least) borderline fascism. thanks, Tom.

Ha! Very good!
The 1930 version is better. Interestingly, it was actually started several years earlier, after "Wings", and a lot of the flying sequences were done earlier. There's a moment in the movie where you see a silver airplane and if you're an airplane nerd for WW1, you know it's a Hanriot, and what only a few people know is that the guy flying it is the great French WW1 ace, Charles Nungesser. He had come to Hollywood to make his fortune but hadn't, and considered himself lucky to get hired to do thi…
I figured that was the case, mostly because of Hawks's well-known flying mania. there's pretty large bunch of people who'd say Hawks was THE great director, although I actually think his westerns aren't as fabulous as some of those folks believe they are. for me, it's Peckinpah, Ford and Anthony Mann. but Hawks and maybe Wellman were the best guys for airplanes. I'd love to get a look at that first "Dawn Patrol" and will search for a copy, since I'm gonna have to be in bed for awhile. and y…
Yeah, Peckinpah is Da Man. I don't know how many times I have watched the director's cut of The Wild Bunch (there's a great book I can't remember the title written in the past 5 years about making the movie). Nobody is ever going to come within 20 light years of the first 20 minutes. To me, that is The Perfect Movie. Ford yeah - Stagecoach will always stand up, along with Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Wellman was good with flying because he knew what he was doing - he flew with the Lafayette Escadrille in WW1.
I also watch the Director's cut of "The Wild Bunch" at least once a year. funny thing is, I actually saw it (the Director's Cut) BEFORE I saw the other cut. I was in London in 1969 and it's the last thing I did there. I saw it again in NYC a few weeks later and it had been butchered...virtually no scenes between Holden and Ryan (the latter being one of the great Hollywood actors the studios had no idea how to deal with, and I think "The Setup" is THE best boxing movie). I'm also a huge fan …
Loyalty is the whole story.
