David Poland on X
It's show time, folks. (retweets can mean anything from an endorsement to “can you believe this f***ing idiot?”)
WWII: A Chronicle of Soldiering
James JonesDavid PolandI've always found James Earl Jones an oddly spiritual figure. Born of The Depression, too young to serve in WWII, too old for Vietnam. He signed up for ROTC & thought he'd fight in Korea, but never got there. A stutterer who became the most familiar & respected voice on earth.

Out of Control
David RussellDavid PolandNo review of Amsterdam. Embargo. But the amount of talent involved, at the heights of their powers, so incredibly open to the work and play, makes this one of the great tragedies of modern cinema. I root for David O Russell. But this thing is agonizingly out of control.
