jcpe: Last Thursday, in the middle of our second blizzard this year, Hawkes and I went to the Character Approved Awards down around the art galleries in Chelsea.

It’s snowing yet again! I’m aware that the weather varies from year to year, but sheesh what a hard winter. Someone told me that the Chinese Almanac said we were going to get round-house kicked by snow this winter, seems to be on the mark.
1. Oh, speaking of China and kicking… I cried a little at the… Read More

In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that Martin Scorsese is the reason I worship at the altar of Cinema. I find his manic love for film completely adorable and believe his finest works are timeless and uncompromising testaments to the integrity of American cinema.

I do not “do” the Twitter. I don’t lead, or follow, or Twit, or Twat in 140 characters or less. In fact, I generally think of the service as nothing more than yet ANOTHER venue (first came “pop culture” blogging) for jobless vainglorious idiots to express their pathetic existences (with some notable exceptions).

Matt Ellsworth and I met while making Second Skin, a documentary I directed on virtual worlds. He’s one of the boys from Indiana who loves to game. Our conversations over the years have led to a few things, one of them was finding a common love for Johnnie Walker Black Label, and the second was a penchant… Read More

1. MUSICAL A Little Night Music
The near three hours of this musical are pure delight and over too soon, filled with incredible wit and humor of the plight of humans in love. With stripped down orchestrations, Sondheim’s all-waltz score is still as sumptuous as you remember it, but now with the added bonus of truly… Read More

Happy Friday Dear Friends!
There were only 4 days of perusing the internets for me this week (Seriously, I didn’t even open my laptop on Monday, which is so super out of character. Here’s the buzz from this week (Juan’s pressuring me to find ten things, I’ll get there eventually!)
Let’s begin, shall we?
1. There are… Read More
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and… Read More
