I had issues with Edgar Weight’s latest, but the 4K came out today and Barnes and Noble had it for 50% off. Can’t beat that.

If you’re a rocker complaining that kids don’t want to listen to your music anymore maybe don’t write a 16 minute song about the celestial tides when you used to write 3 and a half minute bangers Billy

Also, Hawke is such a great one that if Jordan wins, Hawke would sprint to congratulate him. He would be THRILLED.

Tell you what, if Michael B. Jordan wins the Oscar, that would be a great thing. I loved Ethan Hawke’s performance in BLUE MOON. Loved it. But it’s a race now, and either one of them winning is an absolute good.

Got mine. The reaction wasn’t fun but I know what Scott’s talking about; I’ve had friends who had it and it’s seriously painful. Get your shots.

Won’t lie, going to Austin next month and I’m nervous about it, with everything going on. But these past few months have been personally terrible. I’m lonely and need to reconnect with friends. It’s my 30th wedding anniversary. We’re coming, and we’re going to have fun.

I feel like Paul Giamatti could be my older brother. So I’m down.

I've seen enough. Clearly this experiment is working. It is time for a Michael C. Jordan.

Watched END OF DAYS on 4K disc. Stoopid with two o’s, as Chris Evans would say. Still fun.

Finding myself buying records and CDs instead of streaming music, watching 4Ks and Blus instead of streaming, trying to disconnect from my phone. It’s not for everyone; it can be an expensive habit. But it makes the media I enjoy feel more substantial. Less choice. More investment.

Mass shooting in Austin, 6th Street, 3 dead. For those who don’t know, 6th Street is the downtown music and bar hub of the city. During SXSW it’s pretty full. Horrible.
