What does closing the Amity beaches and every news cycle for the past 25 years have in common

Cool, THE BRIDE! opens this weekend. I've read enough (both positive and negative) to convince me to see it. It seems like it takes Big Swings, and we need more of that in our studio movies.

I like being old (except for the physical stuff). It’s exhausting trying to keep up with β€œit.” Enjoy what you want.

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.
