@ebertchicago That just means he’s blocked *you* from seeing him. If you log out and then go to his page, you can see he’s still ranting.

The weather in Portland is so beautiful today that the police have pledged to do all their shooting of unarmed black men outdoors.

Friday movie roundup – Feb. 19

Friday, February 19th, 2010

We have but one new wide release this weekend, but it’s a good one. ‘Tis Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island,” in which a Boston version of Leonardo DiCaprio thinks something sinister is afoot at an isolated hospital/prison for the criminally insane.

This was originally supposed to open last November but was pushed back till now for reasons that vary depending on whom you ask. The prevailing reasonable theory is that if it had come out in the fall, the studio would have been obligated to pimp it for Oscar consideration — what with it being Scorsese and DiCaprio and all — and they just didn’t feel like it was an Oscar kind of movie. It’s good, sure, but not Oscar material. By moving it to February, they effectively take it out of the running and don’t have to spend the extra money on an awards campaign (ads in Variety, screeners to Academy voters, etc.).

Despite all evidence to the contrary, this person is 1) a grown-up and 2) running for political office. http://twitter.com/ZALESKI4CONGRES

Anyone know much about the Sarasota Film Festival? Good, bad, big, small? Only thing I know is it’s in Florida, which is not a plus.
