LAST SUMMER (1969) COMING TO BLU-RAY FROM THE WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION ON JUNE 30th! NEW 2026 1080pHD MASTER FROM 4K SCANS OF THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE AND PRESERVATION ELEMENTS Set during a languid season on Fire Island, Last Summer is a stark and unsettling coming of age drama that captures the disaffection and moral drift of the late 1960s with unflinching honesty. Directed by Frank Perry (Diary of a Mad Housewife) and adapted by Eleanor Perry from Evan Hunter’s provocative novel, the film follows four teenagers—played by Barbara Hershey, Richard Thomas, Bruce Davison, and Catherine Burns (in an unforgettable Oscar®-nominated performance)—whose summer of idle freedom and social detachment gradually gives way to tragedy. Shot in a naturalistic style, Last Summer eschews easy judgments, instead presenting a chilling examination of youthful entitlement and emotional void. Perry’s restrained direction and the cast’s fearless performances lend the film a haunting authenticity that resonates long after the final frame. Last Summer is one of the most powerfully daunting and uncompromising American films of its time. Long unavailable for viewing, Last Summer been meticulously restored on re-constructed especially for this Warner Archive Blu-ray presentation.

The KKK is alive and well in Tennessee. The Sargeant of Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents. FUCKING SHAMEFUL!

Rosie O’Donnell on Trump: “We gotta do something America. He just put out a thing that he’s Jesus. He’s threatening to nuke countries. He’s digging up the White House and putting up a Putinesque meets Saudi Arabia ballroom in our White House. He’s arresting people, putting them in detention camps. In case of emergency, break glass and pull the fire alarm. We should all be pulling the fire alarm. It is beyond the beyond at this point”


Coming out as Republican was harder than coming out as gay. And I came out as gay in 2010 when I was 14, in the deep red south. The backlash I’ve faced for being gay is nothing compared to what I’ve dealt with over politics. But these people insist they’re the “unity” camp.
