James Arness 1923-2011, forever remembered as Matt Dillon on television’s long running Gunsmoke. Look closely for glints of a resemblance to his little brother Peter Graves (Mission: Impossible) who died last year.

Following Rick Welts, CNN Anchor Don Lemon comes out as a gay man. See this Towleroad link and the NYT coverage where he discusses the intricacies of being black and gay, frank talk we don’t hear as often as we should. Bravo, Mr. Lemon…

It took a special child actor to get Oscar nominated for playing someone named Skippy, but back in the 30s Cooper’s stardom rivaled that of his co-star in The Champ, Wallace Beery (above). Later he became a pretty decent grownup actor (TV’s Studio One in the 50s, Superman as Perry White) and a respected director. Always…

Serpico was the first Sidney Lumet film I saw in a movie theater. It was also the first film to make me cry. The scene that got me was the one towards the end where the title character (in an Al Pacino peak) lies in a hospital bed, a bullet hole in face, the result…

Retrospect: Check out Shearing’s collaborations with Mel Torme, or my favorite, The Swingin’s Mutual, the 1960 stunner with Nancy Wilson. Retrospect: The Producers, yeah, sure, but don’t forget Mars in Woody Allen’s Radio Days and Shadows and Fog–and what a crackup in What’s Up Doc?. A nonpareil in movie musicals until the Hollywood Blacklist killed…

Choose your Hornet… Superheroes are not clowns. They don’t do pratfalls, lack technological savvy, or otherwise behave like assholes. It took a franchise like Christopher Nolan’s to usher in a new era of the comic-book-hero-made-flesh, and to give guys like us (who lapped up the TV serial-versions) grown-up editions compelling enough to rival, and surpass,…
