Bob Strauss @bscritic #ShadowKingdom, #BobDylan's 1st performance since the pandemic began, is a very cool, smoky black&white revisit to 12 of his '60s tunes in a juke joint setting. Best his voice has sounded in a decade, clever rearrangements with a 4-piece combo. Worth the $25 @Veeps today. 3:09 PM · Jul 25, 2021·Twitter Web App

Mason and Martin made quite a team on an episode of Dino's 1960s NBC variety series.

Jackie Mason, the ordained rabbi-turned-stand-up comic and actor, died Saturday at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, according to his attorney Raoul Felder. Mason had observed his 93rd birthday on June 9. “We shall never see his like again. This was a mold that was broken ," Felder said. "We’re going to miss him.” Felder said that Mason had been hospitalized for more than two weeks before his death, Mason, the child of immigrants from Belarus, was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin as Yakov Moshe Maza. The family moved to Manhattan when the boy was 5. Mason made his first of 20 appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1961. But an apparent misunderstanding between the comedian and Sullivan later in the decade led to Mason's banishment from the variety show for a time. Sullivan believed that Mason had "flipped a finger" in his direction during a telecast on Oct. 18, 1964. In 1987, Mason's one-man Broadway show "The World According to Me" was awarded a special Tony. A year later, the performance was recorded for television and earned Mason a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Program. When Rodney Dangerfield didn't return for the 1988 comedy sequel to "Caddyshack" (1980), Mason stepped in as a new character --Jack Hartounian, a nouveau riche member of the snooty Bushwood Country Club. Directed by Allan Arkush, "Caddyshack II" -- which was not as successful as the first film -- also starred Robert Stack, Randy Quaid, Dan Aykroyd, Dyan Cannon, Chynna Phillips, Jessica Lundy (as Jack's daughter), Dina Merrill and Chevy Chase, In the fall of 1989, Mason co-starred with the British actress Lynn Redgrave in the ABC sitcom "Chicken Soup." The series, which focused on the romance between a middle-aged Jewish man (Mason) and an Irish Catholic woman (Redgrave), was canceled after 12 episodes. On "The Simpsons," he provided the voice of Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, the father of TV's Krusty the Clown. In 1992, Mason won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance in the episode "Like Father, Like Clown". Michael McKean @MJMcKean I was doing a show at CBS in 1989. Next door, Jackie Mason was doing his Chicken Soup sitcom, and I encountered him just once. I admitted to using one of his jokes on my friends when I was a teenager. He was very forgiving once I assured him it got laughs. 11:24 PM · Jul 24, 2021·Twitter Web App Sean Hannity @seanhannity Love and prayers for our friend Jackie.

One of my favorite lines of his was, "I have enough money to last me the rest of my life unless I buy something." RIP Mr. Mason. The world is a bit less funny today. 9:36 PM · Jul 24, 2021·Twitter Web App “The Cap’n” @LazlosGhost R.I.P.

Bob Strauss @bscritic #settlersmovie tells a thoughtful, allegorical sci fi trying to make a go of it on Mars with all of our earthly, human weaknesses still in the way. It's provocative, creepy, admirably vague in all the right places and quite boring. 4:44 PM · Jul 23, 2021·Twitter Web App

Bob Strauss @bscritic #AMC series #UltraCitySmiths is a totally oddball, noir musical mystery done with stop-motion animated dolls. Takes some getting used to, but by third episode the surreal satire and complex (for puppets, anyway) characters really take hold. Or will for some -like me - anyway. 4:33 PM · Jul 23, 2021·Twitter Web App

Bob Strauss @bscritic #OldTheMovie made me feel young. Like when people figured any idiotic, half-baked crap could entertain me.

I believe this will be Denzel Washington's second screen appearance as a Shakespearean character. He played Don Pedro, the prince of Aragon, in Sir Kenneth Branagh's 1993 film version of "Much Ado About Nothing." The comedy also featured Branagh, Dame Emma Thompson, Michael Keaton, Robert Sean Leonard, Keanu Reeves, Kate Beckinsale and Imelda Staunton.

He apparently put together the screenplay without brother Ethan, too, although his true collaborator is a chap named Shakespeare. By the way, he's married to the film's Lady Macbeth..

New York Film Festival @TheNYFF Joel Coen's boldly inventive THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH, starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, will have its World Premiere as the Opening Night selection at #NYFF59 on September 24! http://filmlinc.org/macbethnyff59 1:00 PM · Jul 22, 2021·Twitter Web App
