“Se7en” was released 31 years ago today. Fincher’s bleak masterpiece isn’t exactly loaded with laughs—but I love the moment when Somerset is taken aback by the absolute unit of wine pour Mills has poured for him.

The final scene in “Vanilla Sky” (released in Dec. 2001) was set in 2151. Cameron Crowe chose not to digitally erase the Twin Towers. He kept the images intact as a tribute. I love that. ❤️🙏🏻

"The Exorcist" is the GOAT of horror films. Even something as simple as Chris MacNeil’s walk home is chilling. Every frame—from the trick-or-treaters to the nuns to a blood-red door and Father Karras’s crisis of faith drowned out by a jet—quietly signals the nightmare ahead.

On November 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank. All 29 souls aboard were lost. When Gordon Lightfoot performed his classic "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" for "Soundstage" on WTTW in Chicago in 1979, the broadcast interspersed archival footage of the ship. 🙏🛳️🎸🎼

Tonight’s midnight movie: Peter Weir’s “Witness” (1985). The reveal scene with the camera tracking Samuel’s POV is a masterwork. No dialogue needed.

Movie Law: Teachers are terrible at clock management. They always seem surprised when the bell rings, and as the students hurry out, the teachers’ reminders about homework assignments or overdue papers go unheeded.

Rest in peace to Roberta Flack. Her cover of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is one of the most beautiful songs in pop history. Clint Eastwood played the entire 5 minutes+ in an extraordinarily touching scene in “Play Misty For Me.”

Movie Law: When just about everyone in the control room celebrates because it appears the crisis has been averted, there’s always one technician who remains at their station—and one savant who realizes the REAL crisis has just begun. 💻🚀🔭🛰️

The powerful, dialogue-free sequence in “Heat” when Chris realizes he can’t come home. Val Kilmer and Ashley Judd are low-key masterful.

Christian Bale once told me he was particularly proud of “Out of the Furnace,” and he wished more people had seen it. Couldn’t agree more. It was No. 2 on my list of the best films of 2013.

You know what bugs me about those reaction shots of Taylor Swift? Absolutely nothing. It’s like 20 seconds total out of a three-hour game. It would be insane NOT to show a massive pop star cheering on her future HOF husband.

RIP to Chicago native Jennifer Runyon, who was in “Ghostbusters,” “The Falcon and the Snowman” and “18 Again!” Jennifer was one of the first actors I ever interviewed — a lovely person who later moved into a career in teaching. Her father was a DJ, including a stint at WCFL. 🙏🏼❤️

I haven’t seen such controversy at an event at the Hilton in Chicago since Dr. Richard Kimble confronted Dr. Charles Nichols about switching the samples back in ‘93.

It’s the 30th anniversary of Ron Howard’s wildly entertaining “Ransom.” Before there was, “But what I do have are a very particular set of skills,” there was, “Give me back my son!”
