Movies (run video store, physical media, sad takes), coffee (roast, prepare, consume), housing (we need a lot more of it), grammar (huge lay vs. lie slug), unpopularity (few followers, fewer advocates). He/him. Iowan by birth, Bostonian by choice.
Midnight screening of Freddy vs. Jason in Dubuque, IA. In one of the whitest counties anywhere, the crowd was amazingly diverse and felt like a family reunion in terms of participation and camaraderie. No party. No costumes. No spoons. Just reverence and belonging. Think about it all the time.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...

* There's been a lot of conversation about lists like this over the past few weeks, so we (The VU in Boston) decided to throw our two cents in with a few caveats:
- The year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century, not the first year of the 21st century. C'mon.
- Only one entry per director.
- The year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century, not the first year of the 21st century. C'mon.

I walked into an elevator with a couple friends to discover Kevin Nash and another dude. Friend asked Kevin "how he's feeling these days." His response? "(sigh) Drug tested."
I was in West Hollywood having dinner at my hotel bar. I was sitting next to Brooke Shields. Laverne Cox was having dinner at a table nearby.
I got up to go to the ladies room, pushed open the door, and ran right into Salma Hayek. Nearly knocked her over. She is a tiny person!

Boston City Council has done an amazing job of drastically improving long-overdue representation issues among its electeds while still ensuring the city's legacy of wet-noodle corruption and hammy moral bankruptcy remains intact. I will kick a nip bottle into a sewer drain to commemorate this day.
