Roger and me. It's the 25th anniversary of @ebertfest, and it's also the 25th anniversary of Man On The Moon! So, we're showing it tonight!
RIP Joe Flaherty, one of the funniest people of all time! God was he funny on @SCTV! Count Floyd, Guy Caballero, wow, did Joe have unique rhythms and verbal attacks. Comic gold. I had the pleasure of once directing Joe. He was a total sweetheart. Yes, you can meet your heroes.
Congrats to the awesome, supremely talented Da'Vine Joy Randolph!
Massive, Massive, MASSIVE turnout at the @IATSE, @Teamsters, Hollywood crafts rally! WOW. @WGAWest was out in force, to support our union brothers and sisters! Solidarity! #wgastrong

Go Mel! What an awesome night at the Governors Awards! It was an honor to be with Mel Brooks, as he received his honorary Oscar and achieved a Double EGOT! How insane is that? And how richly deserved. @MelBrooks @TheAcademy
Jack Benny adored the Smothers Brothers and considered them the best of the "new" comedians.
We largely take political comedy for granted today. For much of the 20th century, comedy that made reference to foreign policy, ridiculed specific political policy, or which parodied American history - was taboo. Tommy Smothers helped change that.

I'm sad to learn that the great Marty Krofft has passed away. Marty was one of the great showbiz characters -- passionate, creative & utterly crazy. Every meeting with him was an adventure, destination unknown. We had so many laughs with him. My condolences to Sid and the family.

Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors on the planet! French Connection, Superman, The Firm, Get Shorty, Young Frankenstein, Hoosiers, Mississippi Burning, Bonnie and Clyde… the list is endless. You can fuck right off from criticizing this man’s wardrobe.

15th consecutive Ebertfest; the usual mix of great film, lovely conversations and funny, smart, interesting people who are NOT educators. @ChazEbert makes it all happen. Loved meeting @Scottcantype @Brian_Tallerico @nminow and then a warm welcome home from Finn.
And the always wonderful and supportive @nminow!
@Scottcantype @ebertfest So that's why youse guys aren't at TCM. Have fun!
BALLYHOO FIELD REPORT: Last night I made a pilgrimage to Ebertfest 2024, held at the gorgeous Virginia Theatre (opened 1921) in Champaign, Illinois. Before a screening of Man on the Moon, I was lucky enough to have drinks with screenwriters @larry_karaszewski and @Scottcantype
Had a fun time at Ebertfest this year. A special thanks to @mattsinger @thehighsign @phillipstribune @EricRoberts @Karaszewski @Scottcantype and all the people who stopped to chat about movies and life.
@Brian_Tallerico @mattsinger @thehighsign @phillipstribune @EricRoberts @Karaszewski @Scottcantype It was a pleasure talking with you!

@Karaszewski @ebertfest @ChazEbert @ebertchicago @Scottcantype A great movie, and one of my favorite biopics. I've always appreciated how you and Scott presented Andy as a force of nature instead of sentimentalizing him, so that we make up our own minds about his life through his comedy.
Amazing picture. Congrats on the anniversary.
Roger and me. It's the 25th anniversary of @ebertfest, and it's also the 25th anniversary of Man On The Moon! So, we're showing it tonight!

You compete agaisnt the opponent - and your teammates. When I signed my contract in 2019, I was thrust into a harsh reality: There are ~200 minor leaguers competing for 1 spot in the MLB team.
In 2019, I signed a contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. 5 years later, I haven't played in a single MLB game. Here's how the Minor Leagues work (and what it's like to be one):
