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…

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.

Now watching: “Poltergeist,” released 44 years ago today. Nothing like a good old-fashioned slice of the suburban American dream turned into the great American nightmare. 👻📺

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. 🙏🏼❤️

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.

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.”

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.

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…”

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.

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

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

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. 🦸🏻‍♂️🥣

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.

One of my favorite scenes in “The Godfather Part II.” The compromised Sen. Geary now sucking up to Michael, and Michael then setting the table for Fredo to reveal his betrayal. He KNOWS Fredo has met Johnny Ola. The confirmation comes in the next scene.

Now watching: “Hard Eight,” the feature debut of PTA — with early “Core Four” actors Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Melora Walters and Philip Seymour Hofmann. The Mamet influence on the screenplay is unmistakable.
