John Hughes passed away yesterday. Holy shit! He was only 59! Double shit! “I can’t believe it. They fucking forgot my birthday!” I am not embarrassed to admit that I have watched Sixteen Candles something like three zillion times. That’s a conservative estimate. And not just on-in-the-background watching, but with rapt attention. Just a perfect [...]

I just watched this documentary, Man On Wire. No doubt you’ve already heard of this fine piece of film, but we just got around to checking it out via that magic that is Netflix. Philippe Petit is a young tightrope walker in the 1960s who chances upon an article about these towers being built in [...]

I don’t like scary movies. I’m easily upset by brutal violence, can’t handle realistic gore, have nightmares at the slightest hint of supernatural activity, and didn’t even really like the scene in Borat when the antique store gets all smashed up. I was unprepared, however, for the terrifying ride that is Grey Gardens. What could [...]

I was in the middle of a session when I saw that a Facebook friend had posted this Leonard Cohen article discussing and rating some of Cohen’s most depressing songs. I’m in a really good mood here — the tune I’m working on is going great, and working on one of these tunes (Larry Banilow) [...]

Yup. It’s true. Colbert, Carell, Smigel (triumph the insult comic dog and those crazy SNL cartoons) and Carvey all in one sketch comedy show. Only problem is happened 12, no wait, 13 years ago. On ABC. For 7 episodes that actually aired. Yeah, I remembered hearing about it, but never actually caught it before it [...]
Young At Heart

Young At Heart is an incredible and lovely movie about the Young At Heart Chorus, a choir whose members’ average age is about 82. It will uplift you and break your heart repeatedly in the most endearing way, and it will forever change how you hear every song they sing. Watch the preview right here, [...]
