So sad to hear of the passing of Dan Simmons, one of my all-time favorite horror writers. Carrion Comfort, The Terror, many others, and a book I absolutely love, Summer of Night. Gone way too soon. Check out his books!

Schmigadoon season 1 is just so charming and delightful and good

To be honest, I've never been a huge Elvis fan. But EPiC, the new Elvis concert doc from Baz Luhrmann, may have changed that. It is fantastic. Especially in IMAX!

Getting a "good choice!" is my primary goal when ordering.

HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST, streaming on Netflix now, is absolutely brilliant. It's the latest from Lisa McGee, who also created DERRY GIRLS, also brilliant. As far as I'm concerned, she's the best one doing it right now. Check it out!

I mean, I'd love to take credit for writing that song, but I think it was a couple guys named Lerner & Loewe.

Had a smile on my face the whole time I was watching the new MUPPET SHOW. Especially when I saw Schmigadoon! choreographer Chris Gattelli in the audience! (he's choreographing Muppets now) Favorite number: "Islands in the Stream." Can't wait for the next episode! ❀️❀️❀️

You get too many views and suddenly it's like you were having a party with your friends when your parents were out of town but then word got out and all the worst people started showing up.

PAVEMENTS and 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE were both really great.

Oh man, looks like I'm not going to be back in town in time to see this. As you know, I've read it 4 times now. One of my absolute favorites. You should tackle it sometime!
