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 […]
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!
I think this has been forwarded me to about 20 bazillion times in 2 hours, and I still can’t get enough of it. Can’t wait. Can’t wait… Have a good weekend!
First song this week is a Hall of Famer. A filmmaker friend is trying to recreate the sequence from ‘500 Days of Summer’ (what triggered the song in my mind). But I’m old enough to be connected to this song to this cheesy ass video. 3 minutes of perfection here, I smile wide every […]
First song of the week. The Shuffle took me back to an underrated Al Green song (just saying that seems a little false). Anyway, my ‘gospel’ collection isn’t terribly deep obviously, but (as I try to emulate in my own way), I dig stories that can reference spirituality without being on the nose about […]
The weekend is upon us. A little bit comedy, ridiculous flow and lyrics. Marshall Mathers, ladies and gentlemen. Have a good weekend gang.
I don’t think I’ve done a wrestling related post in quite a while, and I had NO idea until recently they actually cut a video for this alternate theme. If you didn’t know the ‘why’ this was put together, I still think this is a damn good rap-rock hybrid (from the Kings of the […]
Back in L.A., back into my routine. The trip to my hometown was the best one I’ve ever had. Long overdue conversations with family, reconnecting with friends there I hadn’t seen in years. It was a perfect holiday, right up to the point my asshole iPod decided to segway into ‘You’ve Got to Hide […]
Still buzzed from watching an IMAX print of ‘the Dark Knight’. Tenth anniversary and on a weeknight the place was still packed (well played Warner Brothers.) No film is perfect of course (the ‘Heat’ and ‘Se7en’ influences feel heavier now), but that film is still a quick 2 and a half hour ride. Adapting […]
I’m from the school of ‘use humor to point out foul shyt’, so I obviously liked this piece. From the Brits, have to laugh and shake your head at the same time. With a nice little bit of racism and ageism and body shaming thrown in. Enjoy!
