The world lost a genial man, a genius communicator and a supreme artist. I lost a friend - beloved Drew.

One of the amusing things about living in a hilly area when it rains: garbage cans get washed down the hill on garbage day…

Drew Struzan drew a poster for each GOONIES kid with each of them at the top of the chain holding on.

Got to meet Drew Struzan at a showcase of his work back in 2016 at Creature Features in Burbank, CA. He was so pleased by the recognition, love, awe, and admiration of his work by multiple generations. RIP.

One of the most influential artists in the history of Hollywood has passed. Thanks for everything, Drew Struzan.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

I love vintage jazz & swing, especially Halloween-themed tunes from the ‘40s & ‘50s. Then I find this song. How did I miss this before? Well, I didn’t. It’s AI generated. There’s hours of this kind of stuff for background listening, and it’s enjoyable music. I feel so conflicted.

Shane Black’s PLAY DIRTY is playful, fast-paced, relentlessly unpredictable, over-the-top, and a full-on Christmas movie, as one would come to expect from Black. Check your brain at the door and be entertained.
