So said that this guy left us today. I took this photo when working with him on The Doors—he rarely broke character when the cameras weren't on.

While @bookshop-org.bsky.social supporting independent booksellers is a good first step, it won't have a lasting impact until they get rid of DRM altogether.

It's painful to watch a movie that's trying sooo hard to be something it isn't—and the harder it tries, the less it succeeds. Such a film was Section 31.

I've seen a lot of #Shakespeare First Folios over the years—even held a few in my own hands. Every one of them has given me goosebumps—not because it's a $10 million dollar book, but because it's an amazing relic emblematic of an era that literally transformed the world we live in. Here's number 50.

Sad to say, but Branagh's #KingLear at the Shed doesn't live up to his track record—feels like he's just checking the box on a bucket list of major #Shakespeare roles he wanted to tackle.
There was a time, not that long ago, when the name Kenneth Branagh was internationally synonymous with Shakespeare. He once directed and starred in movies that heralded a Golden Era of Shakespeare on film. But his “King Lear” at the Shed is forgettable.
Remembering Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespearean Heyday (and Forgetting His Recent Lear)
In the nineteen-eighties and nineties, the actor, writer, and director ushered in a Golden Era of Shakespeare plays on film the likes of which we haven’t seen since.
