“This is a no squabble zone” – LASC Judge Arnold after Lewin-Tacopina Round 862 in the ASAP Rocky trial, as re-cross of ASAP Relli begins.

ASAP Relli has had enough of cross-examination: “I do not wanna stay here. I am not on trial. I’m here for 5 days … dealing with this man. I wanna go," he says, one of several rants he's gone on under questioning from Joe Tacopina.

@meghanncuniff Relli: "Truthfully it was all like a movie. Literally all like a movie."

Society has long needed a blanket ban on the word "literally," and DA John Lewin's use of the word here underscores that. Rocky's lawyer Joe Tacopina was "literally screaming at me" and everyone heard it, but Judge Arnold says he didn't hear anything. Stop saying literally!

[AFTER HOURS] Teri Garr has a glittering electricity; she plays this kind of role better than anyone else ever has—she makes the waitress's nuthead scariness pretty damn scary. (1985)

From @krystafauria, how Los Angeles’ independent theater scene has endured and even renewed amid industry-wide challenges apnews.com/article/hollyw…

The two biggest movies of 2000 both had scenes where Lisa Gerrard sings over Hans Zimmer music while the protagonist contemplates the great beyond during a climactic knife fight

Your favorite celebrity stan account is probably run by a Brazilian. For @AP, I talked to them about why that is and what they're going to do as X is suspended in Brazil. apnews.com/article/brazil…

I think it’s fair to say that O Brother, Where Art Thou is George Clooney’s best performance. Absolutely hysterical. Simple line reads are turned into these sing-songy quips you’ll repeat to yourself for years. Perhaps his most old-Hollywood inspired performance as well.

Saddened by the death of Linda Deutsch, AP's legendary court reporter. I worked with Linda on several stories and trials late in her career, and to say she was a masterful court reporter is an understatement. apnews.com/article/linda-…

My predecessor, whose work I can only hope to approximate. A master, a legend and a friend. apnews.com/article/40b73c…

Was incredibly surprised to find Beetlejuice Beetlejuice a total delight? Zany and weird and very fun.

In light of all the X chatter, re-posting my @AP story from Sunday. #KamalaHarris constantly being told by others she is Black/not Black enough/Indian American/not Indian enough is something just about every multiracial person has to put up with. apnews.com/article/kamala…

@mikesisak Oh they got that? Aww I can’t look.

90s filmmaking was big on match cuts

Let’s do this.
