His fellow arts school Canuck landed the role of Anakin in #StarWars, a character who turned to the Dark Side... but Dr. Ibrahim WOULD NEVER! No way the heart and moral compass of (and closest thing to a Jedi on) #Revival — much less the lovely Andy McQueen himself — would ever stray from the Ashla.

Happy 5-0 to the movie that changed the movies— a flick that really did make people afraid to go back in the water— a picture w/ one of the all-time great monologues & jump scares, w/ maybe the most iconic score & one-sheet ever— arguably the greatest film by arguably our greatest filmmaker— #JAWS.

Attended #AEWDoubleOrNothing tonight, marking my 5th #AEW PPV, 3rd #DoN, & 2nd #AnarchyInTheArena match — & was easily the best of each I’ve witnessed. Start to finish, a solid show that’s hard to even nitpick. Didn’t hurt that I got to be up close & personal with Moxley(’s sweat) & Hobbs(’s blood):

Took a pause midway through our #Andor rewatch—which I’d been waiting (im)patiently to do for a couple years now, in an attempt to roll it right into the new season—opting to revisit showrunner Tony Gilroy’s directorial debut, the 2007 legal thriller ‘MICHAEL CLAYTON’, last night… & boy howdy, lads:

On 1st watch, I had a similar hangup w/ #Nosferatu as w/ the old ones… in that I’m moreless watching DRACULA—nearly beat for beat—for an hour. That said, the 2nd half picked up when it veered & Dafoe entered; craft & cast were A+; etc.
On 2nd watch tonight, I let all the way go of my B.S., & mannn…

Struggling w/ promoting my pods & Paper Street stuff on other social platforms this week because... well, mostly because I hate said sites' Trump-sucking owners w/ the fire of a thousand suns. I'm kinda down to only being active here anymore.

When unsure whether to use an Oxford comma, assume you should. Please. A sentence won't be ruined by its addition, but many can be wildly misconstrued when you do not. Don't believe me? Ask Peter Ustinov, who was pals with Mandela, a noted (::checks copy::), uh, collector... and ancient demigod!

If it’s out of venture capitalists’ hands, at least they won't shutter its doors the second their debt’s paid (à la Toys “R” Us), but still — the track record of stuff I like (especially Austin-based stuff I like) being absorbed by bigger stuff is... not great. Here’s hoping Sony keeps their pledge…
