“Killers of the Flower Moon” (Trailer)

Heard about this book after seeing a mention on a FB music group that Jason Isbell had a part in an upcoming Scorsese/DeNiro/DeCaprio film which was going to be based on the book. Picked it up and it was a pretty good read, not least because it’s set in Oklahoma but talks about a lot […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I’ve Always Been A Fan of The Grey Area of Copyright (circa 1990?)

The struggle was real – do you record in SP and get the maximum quality, LP for a balance of quality and quantity, or EP and get the most on the tape (I think the answer below is obvious – VHS tapes were expensive when I was in high school and making $4.50/hr at a […]

Secular Sunday – First Ever Oscars Award Show Where No Winner Thanked God?

According to r/atheism (who helpfully post links to videos/transcripts of all speeches as proof), no winners thanked God in their acceptance speeches at the Oscars last Sunday – the first time that’s ever happened!

Friday Fun Link – 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony

With so much focus on the UK and the meaning of the Queen’s death, I’m reminded of the amazing opening ceremony from the 2012 Olympics in London which captured so many unique aspects of British life and culture (while also being a real thumb to the nose to the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony!)

Music Monday – “When a couple of guys who were up to no good/Started making trouble in my neighborhood/I got in one little fight and my mom got scared/She said, ‘You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air'”

So, anybody watch the Oscars last night? 😉 “Fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme Song” – DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Why Bo Burnham’s “Inside” Is So Good

Maybe because, like “Nanette” by Hannah Gadsby, it totally deconstructs what a “comedy” special is? Or maybe because it’s one of only a handful of truly reflective, unique artworks created during Covid that capture what this past year has been like? Or maybe because I’m pretty sure he does this by not mentioning Covid once […]

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw

  Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]

Music Monday – “But I don’t need no friends/As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset/I am in paradise”

Watched “Juliet, Naked” this weekend with Shea (who thought the tale of an obnoxiously nitpicky music obsessive hit a bit too close to home for her!) 😉 Anyhow, this song played a pivotal part of the movie… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyh__QQD2js “Waterloo Sunset” – The Kinks
