Video of the Day – ‘You Make My Dreams’

  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 […]

Video of the Day – ‘Golden Slumbers/The End’

  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 […]

Video of the Day – ‘The Dark Knight’

  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.)

Video of the Day – ‘Hallejuah’

  I’m not a ‘gospel’ guy in the traditional sense obviously, but damn this song (and this version) gets to me. And I know I’m far from alone.  First time I heard it was in ‘The West Wing’ I think.  And Kate McKinnon did a nice version on SNL a year or so ago. Lyrics […]

Video of the Day – ‘Moonlight’

  Barry Jenkins’ trailer dropped this week, and I’m about to hop back onto HBO for Issa, and pretty high odds I’ll have some thoughts on Spike’s new movie next Sunday, and Tessa is…Tessa… So this is as good of a video to start the week as any. Enjoy!
