Spoiler Alert: It sucked but I'm not dead. So you should watch the movie or set your DVRs or whatever it is you do.

I was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma called T-cell/histiocyte rich large B cell lymphoma (T/HRBCL). It's aggressive and historically resistant to chemotherapy.

…dig deeper and you discover a commentary on the pleasant facade of suburbia and idealism. Also, it announced to the world that David Lynch is bringing a new kind of sound design to wider audiences and you better buckle up, because Frank is driving a ‘68 Dodge Charger of vibe right up your ass.”

I have a lot left to learn, but moments like this set me on the path of acceptance and love for all kinds of people. It wasn't the only one but I am thinking about it a lot today. 4/4

I think just as important as the verbal exchange is Coop looking on, smiling with what looks to me like pride, as Denise leaves the room. 3/4

I don't know what it meant for transgender community, but I feel like a primetime TV show settling this with a simple "Ok" must have meant a lot. If Coop can easily and gracefully accept Denise, well so could I. 2/4

Damn it all I forgot to put #filmsky on this whole thread

Now I feel like ‘Virtuosity’ is probably next. If I can find it.

"On one hand, you could push back and say, ‘Well, was that piece of art worth giving your life for?’ In some instances, if you’re talking about ‘Freejack’, no." —⁠Emilio Estevez

Anyway, I needed this dumb god damn movie today so I'm giving it 3 god damn stars.

It actually has a great concept, but clearly a bunch of suits and reshoots happened because it feels incomplete. Check out this sword! It only makes one brief appearance!

Also there was a directive somewhere to punch up the comedy dialogue to give it bad Arnold Schwarzenegger style one liners.

…so I doubt he gave a shit that it bombed. He recovered to write Nightcrawler and some of the best episodes of Andor.

Look at me, meandering like this movie did...

And, for a moment, I wasn't sure.

The talent involved is insane. I mean: Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Anthony Hopkins (fresh off his ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Oscar nod) and Rene Russo!

It was Dan Gilroy's first screenwriting credit! But he got to meet and marry Rene Russo…

I post this kind of stuff and my activity level goes from thousands to a hundred... A coincidence, I'm sure.

Some of the few memories that exist from that time in my life are in his basement, laughing with friends and giving each other shit.

So many memories. And now... they are just memories. No more swapping stories or reminiscing. That will have to happen with those who knew him. 3/3

The last time I spoke with Sean in person, we ran into each other on a Peter Pan bus back to the Vineyard. We sat together and reminisced about high school and swapped stories. I'd spent days of my life at his place on Boxberry Ave in high school. 2/3
