I am here, once again, to let you know that I have curated a fantastic list of over 13 hours of oldies in a tribute to my late father on Spotify.

I can't get over the #WWDC video clips of them showing how amazing it is that on the 18th version of their operating system, we can now move our app icons to the top and bottom halves of the screen (or even to the side!). Like this is some revolutionary concept that they just discovered

I looked it up and this is apparently true: Warren Beatty produces a couple of schlocky, low-budget short form films every handful of years so he can keep the rights to Dick Tracy as a Fuck You to the studios who fucked his beloved project from the get-go

DID YOU KNOW:

In 1990, Warren Beatty made a Dick Tracy movie. But no one would let him make another one, and even tried to do a tv show without him. He got so mad he decided to find a loophole in his contract and get decades of petty revenge.

Every couple of decades, he makes a no-budget 20-some minute tv special where he complains to Leonard Maltin while wearing his old costume, and releases it unannounced in the middle of the night on TCM. This week, at 85 years old, he premiered his new one, called Dick Tracy Zooms In. He didn't even have to show up on set. However, he has gone to court to make sure that they legally count as sequels, and thus renew his rights to the character. He does this solely so that no one else can legally use the character for anything.

This new special will make the character his until 2027, when Dick Tracy goes into the public domain and anyone can use him for free.

This is art. This is some A+ Andy Kaufman-level trolling. I will never watch either of t

Fully undappreciated sequel in my book. Stands up to the original in many ways and outdoes the scale wonderfully. Just as fun as the original too. Really the only thing the original has over this is that it's...the original, and Alan Rickman. But really Jeremy Irons is just as good.
