On the 39th anniversary of Ferris Bueller’s actual Day Off, here’s your reminder Mr. Bueller apparently had never met his son’s girlfriend Sloane Peterson, though she clearly recognized him.

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.”

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. 🙏🏼❤️

In advance of reviewing the new “Cape Fear” series, I rewatched the original film. (I’ve seen the Scorsese remake a half-dozen times.) Man, they got away with some truly disturbing and creepy stuff in 1962. Mitchum’s performance was so casually evil…

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.

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

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.

This Jeff Goldblum monologue in “Jurassic Park” (1993) could well be applied to AI content “creators” — “You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you…packaged it and you wanna sell it…”

We are watching the greatest and most influential movie to not even be nominated for Best Picture — which in retrospect is absolutely INSANE.

Never forget the 1995 Super Bowl halftime show, with “Indiana Jones” and “Marion” retrieving the stolen Lombardi trophy—and then taking a break as Tony Bennett performs in a nightclub. 🦸🏻‍♂️🥣

Four months apart in 1995, we met two of the most nefarious, undisciplined, violent agents of chaos ever: Kevin Gage’s Waingro from “Heat” and Peter Greene’s Redfoot from “The Usual Suspects.” They both were based in L.A., but they never met because — well. #RIPPeterGreene

SNL’s “Olympia Restaurant” sketches — inspired by Olympia Lunch and the Billy Goat — weren’t punchline-based comedy. They were brilliantly drawn, slice-of-life mini-movies capturing the unique rhythms and chaos of a Greek family diner in Chicago.

One of my favorite early Val Kilmer appearances is in “Real Genius.” Val did something special with a typical 1980s cynical rebel/wisecracker role, giving his character a layer of big brother warmth. It’s actually kind of sweet.

What I’ve been saying for 40 years: It was really Cameron’s Day Off. Ferris was saving his friend. Also: Ferris and Sloane were one of the great romances of the 1980s.

Tonight’s late movie: It’s Chicago in front of Chicago with “The Dark Knight,” released in July of 2008. Arguably the most impactful and enduring film of that year. 🦇🎬🍿
