Wet Hot American Summer is one of my all-time three favorite comedies. Not to mention Stella, The State, Wainy Days, the list goes on. So, I am thrilled to share this reflection of meeting David Wain!
One of the harder songs to write about because of the time, place, the impact of this songwriter but this remains my favorite Nirvana song for a reason.
This was the very first horror movie I saw in its entirety in 88', from that moment on, I was hooked. Not to mention, grateful that the mom-and-pop video store nearby would let me rent horror movies!
It's been tricky to write once a week but have no fear, this project will continue and let's get back to music with a song that means the world to me. 2002 was a rough year, dad. But this band helped.
One of my absolute favorite films that is a key inspiration for what I hope to achieve with a short work myself someday, only having no characters and no voice-over... here, it works wonders.
There will be other Anderson films to come but somehow this has crept into my top five favorites and it's one that I keep thinking about more and more. If you've seen it, comment with your takes too!
Van Morrison is now a despicable human being, but his music remains potent, timeless and stunning in ways that I can't dismiss. This was another game-changer.
It's hard to keep up with new films & music while working a day job, not to mention a podcast, writing reviews, visiting an aging parent, but there are reasons in 2023 to remain in the light
A movie where I just want to post nothing but images that stick with me - in fact I might opt for that from time to time since I respond to that even more so than words. But, this is Pinter!
Sorry it's been a while again, but life... finds a way to get in the way. Nevertheless, what popped up in the random number generator this time - one of my favorite screenplays ever written.
Why is this song called Mayonaise? The world may never know. But it remains my favorite Pumpkins song along with their poppiest hit "1979." Though I could do a whole write-up on great B-sides too!
CW: Suicide. A lot of personal thoughts emerge either with this film or the inevitable write-up for Allan Moyle's Pump Up The Volume. One is definitely "better" but both hit me hard.
