A pretty revealing almost 4 hour interview with the late #jimshooter. Just fascinating. Can't think of anyone else that created so many universes.

Heartbroken. Yesterday, we said goodbye to our Hooper. He was the sweetest, sheddiest, smelliest, eat-everything-est dog ever who barked every time someone walked by our house! Becky and I were with him when he left us, & we got to tell him "thank you." Our house feels empty.

Finally saw the #JohnCandy documentary. A must watch! And for those interested, I added 2 links in the comments for two of the most amazing "New Show" sketches he was a part of. Enjoy!

Just finished the new "making of" #SpinalTap book by #robreiner #MichaelMcKean #HarryShearer and #ChristopherGuest. Great stories about how they all met and how the movie came about. And then a bonus book, "Smell the Book" by the members of Spinal Tap themselves. A fun companion to the sequel!

A friend in NYC sent me a little #BarneyGreengrass care package and I'm not going to lie, it was fucking great! (the onions, coffee and comic books were mine)

No kings, except for Leo! #OneBattleAfterAnother at #VISTATheater. Loved the whole thing, and I really really laughed.

Trump will get his second "routine check up" in 6 months, followed by an "everyday defibrillation" and an "ordinary, run-of-the-mill embalming."

Russian 1st Amendment: Freedom of the Press to accidentally fall out a window.

Still seems better than being forced to donate to Trump's library.

A very fun "enhanced" screening of the #Matrix at #CosmLosAngeles. While the Matrix plays on a central "screen" it is expanded with additions that move and react to the movie. Not the same as the Sphere, but not different either. Pretty cool, and now I want to see a sporting event there.

Very fun read. Kind of like one of those old text games— you wake up in a room, you don’t know where you are— but a book, in outer space with all the cool tech stuff that the Martian had. #hailmary #andyweir

From a drink menu in Utah, the "Scotty Doesn't Know":
Rittenhouse Rye, Martell VS Cognac, Grand Marnier, Plantain, Lime, Caribbean Spices, Holy Stone Absinthe. A few of these and you will be making out with your sister. #eurotrip

Tore through the newest #mickherron #SlowHorses book: #clowntown, and now I am sad I have finished it because it was so good and made me want the next installment NOW!!!

Luckily, the new season of the TV show just started and I would watch the first ep tonight.

It was #WilliamPetersen day at @amcinematheque.bsky.social for #Beyondfest's showing of #ToLiveAndDieInLA. Fun Q & A with Petersen who talked about getting his job thanks to Gary Sinise & then helping Pankow get his role, and the strong theater background all the actors had. With #KelvinMao

Excited to grab my copy of #spectators by #briankvaughan and #nikohenrichon -- got a signed copy from @collectorsparadise.bsky.social - NoHo. Loved reading it in installments, can't wait to reread all at once!
