1/ Absolutely gutted by the passing of Bud Cort. ‘Harold & Maude’ is more than just a film to me. It is a sacred, existential text to me. I bizarrely saw it as a young child as a double feature with Willy Wonka. (Seriously. And this should provide some insight into my psyche)

Dad will be devastated. Sonny was one of his heroes. I went to school w Sonny’s kid but failed to tell dad. Sonny held the door for him @ parent’s night my dad fanboyed, then came home, woke me up & cursed me out for not telling him the Jurgensens went there. #HTTR www.hogshaven.com/general/4005...

WaPo was part of my NoVA childhood in 70s/80s. My grandf worked their presses. Took him 15 min nightly scrubbing w Lava soap getting ink off his hands. Only grade school ed. but read every word in every issue and was world knowledgeable as anyone. So sad to witness the ruination of it.

1/ I’m an absolute nobody. However, it occurred to me that in six decades I’ve put together a rather eclectic, Forrest Gump-ian list of people I’ve been in proximity to, or even interacted with, that reads like ‘The Good, The Bad and the Beautiful’ :

One wonders how many Oscars Julian Dennison may eventually win. He is already an extraordinary, world-class talent at 23. The rest of the world will eventually figure it out.

#truestory I once saw Michael Moore interview O.J. Simpson. After his acquittal. Live. In front of a studio audience. For Fox Television. It happened. Google it. I’ve seen some crazy things, but this is near the top of that list.

#markhamill pulled a similar gag back in 1997 in NYC walking past the 1000s lined up to see the re-release of Star Wars at the Ziegfeld and periodically asking people what the line was for.
Jimmy Kimmel Live on Instagram: "@MarkHamill stood on his star all afternoon to see who noticed and who did not!"
Watch as Mark Hamill attempts to see if the public recognizes him on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. From fame to obscurity, this funny and touching video showcases the highs and lows of celebrity ...

My favorite subset of movies are ones that take place in a single night. Added a new one recently, the 2015 French film, QUAND JE NE DORS PAS (Anglo title ‘Sleepness Night in Paris’). I enjoyed it, but it was far less comedic than billed. m.imdb.com/title/tt3232...
