If you're not familiar with his "Izanami" yacht cruising Bay Area waters you should be.

So said that this guy left us today. I took this photo when working with him on The Doorsβ€”he rarely broke character when the cameras weren't on.

For some, it's because of egoβ€”they think they know better. Or worseβ€”their manager does because they cling to anecdotal information or only serve the "squeakiest wheel".

While @bookshop-org.bsky.social supporting independent booksellers is a good first step, it won't have a lasting impact until they get rid of DRM altogether.

It's painful to watch a movie that's trying sooo hard to be something it isn'tβ€”and the harder it tries, the less it succeeds. Such a film was Section 31.

I've seen a lot of #Shakespeare First Folios over the yearsβ€”even held a few in my own hands. Every one of them has given me goosebumpsβ€”not because it's a $10 million dollar book, but because it's an amazing relic emblematic of an era that literally transformed the world we live in. Here's number 50.

Sad to say, but Branagh's #KingLear at the Shed doesn't live up to his track recordβ€”feels like he's just checking the box on a bucket list of major #Shakespeare roles he wanted to tackle.
