Big news: I’m working on my next book. It’s about the “Frat Pack” era of Hollywood comedies.

I’ve dreamed of writing a book about movies for years and years and now I finally get to do it. I’m so excited.

The first Valentine’s Day my wife and I spent together we watched Annie Hall while sitting on the floor of a friend’s door room. La dee dah, la dee dah.

RIP Diane Keaton.

The plot synopsis that’s on there now is significantly shorter than this one.

But subjective opinion aside, there’s A LOT of reading into the text in those paragraphs! Like, sure, some of that is thematically what’s intended, but a lot of that stuff is straight-up head canon.

I have never read a Wikipedia plot summary that involved more florid and subjective interpretation of the film the last few paragraphs of the one for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
