The weekend is here, and I’ve been blown away. The Gram, THE GRAM! of all places put this cover on my radar. 3000 is one of my all time favorite lyricists, and I’ve always loved this song. As a singer though, I say with no arrogance we’re in the same league: ‘actor singers’. People […]
The Shuffle put me into a romantic place on the way in this morning, so here we go: I can’t say I’ve ever been the biggest Maxwell fan, but this song, in lyrics and vibe, just speak to me, and always puts a smile on my face. Enjoy.
It’s been said but it’s worth repeating: there’s a lot of ways ‘Straight Outta Compton’ could have gone way wrong, but it’s still a supremely watchable movie. And I know I’m not the only one who was all in when this instant classic scene started. You have he’s now known as ‘Chad’ from Insecure […]
It occurred to me today that this will (probably) be the first year in at least a decade that I don’t hit up Vegas. Two things: At this point, I’ve done ‘Vegas Birthday’, ‘UFC Fight Weekend in Vegas,’ ‘Hangover in Vegas’, ‘New Year’s in Vegas’… there’s not really any all new variations I haven’t […]
Taking you into this weekend with one of my favorite scene stealing performances in recent memory… I rewatched ‘No Country for Old Men’ last night and forgot Margaret Bowman played a motel clerk in that one. Not a hugely memorable role, but it made me go back and look up her one scene in […]
Ahead of the the 1000th episode of ‘Smackdown’, WWE is putting out a lot of content related to the show. This video today is one of the best pieces. The Rock is literally a movie star of course, but as far as that show’s best wrestlers, Eddie Guerrero is almost certainly number one on […]
And, another weekend… Anyone who was a young man in the mid 90s who tells you they didn’t try to harmonize to this is a damn lie. A DAMN LIE. Have a good one gang.
One of my favorite Golden Age stories I took to heart comes from Karl Malden. When Brando was putting his directorial debut together, he called Malden to see if he would be interested, and Karl just said ‘Yep’, without knowing what the part was, let alone seeing the script. I’ve heard it repeated in […]
Happy Birthday John.
Caught the trailer for the new Elton John biopic. I don’t know. I’m still a little more interested in the Freddie Mercury biopic, but that’s just me. Anyway, the Elton trailer did put me in the mood for one of my favorite (sad) love songs. So lyrical. Enjoy!
