Three quick notes about the SAG Award nominated, ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ Not all, but most artists, after they establish they can throw fastballs in one genre, want to branch out and prove they do other things. Especially actors. Melissa McCarthy is one of our best working comediennes, of course she wants to prove […]
Last week ended with a bittersweet memory of my Frat brother who passed, let’s start this week on a happier note. My Captain’s birthday was over the weekend. For all the obvious reasons, the number of times we talk in a year you can count on one hand at this point. But birthdays is one […]
The weekend! The brothers reminded me it’s been a year since we lost our Frat Marek Jacobs. Can only speak for myself, but I went through all the emotions again: sadness and grief and reminscing. I think it’s coincidental but maybe it’s not, that in the past 365 days I’ve made quantum leaps forward and […]
Thrillers/Monster movies like this, I don’t consider to be my wheelhouse. But the people (box office) has spoken, this one even has a little Oscars buzz behind it, so I had to see it. A few thoughts… So, is Emily Blunt having a year, or is Emily Blunt having a year? I’ve always been a […]
Full disclosure: this was the song I’ve been working on for my singing reel. Then I saw ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, and, NOPE. My cover isn’t remotely this beautiful. So our musical start this week comes from my fellow Trojan, Kina Grannis. And if you haven’t seen ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ yet, trust me, it’s worth it. […]
I think all the outside stories (Viggo using the n word, Mahershala apologizing to Don Shirley’s family) have already killed any gold ‘Green Book’ might have been up for. I’ll just pick out a few things I thought about while watching this one. While this exact true story is new, the formula (black guy and […]
Some Malcolm in the DNA. Radical love for my base. Laced with silliness so it doesn’t become too preachy. Yep, fully in my karma now. I think I know how some things are going to go in 2019. And with that, let’s segway into this. Enjoy!
Well, this was not what I was expecting to be the first post of 2019, but what can you do? For kids of my generation he was THE interviewer. So iconic he’s been parodied in too many ways to count. I never saw him break when Macho Man or Ultimate Warrior went on one of […]
The story I tell most often when asked for a Hollywood anecdote is when I chose to work with a still up and coming Issa Rae over the fried chicken commercial my agent at the time tried to talk me into. It’s funny, it’s a name my people recognize, it’s a good anecdote. As this […]
I’m not super high on SNL at the moment, but we are STILL out here saying ‘Susan’ and ‘Karen’… Enjoy!
