I originally made this tribute to Star Wars for my friend Coleen.

I had made one earlier, but I never mentioned Coleen. (Though I don’t even know if she reads my blog!)

The Tonight Show (Jimmy Fallon & the Roots), as well as the cast of The Force Awakens, takes on the Star Wars theme.

Thank you to my sister Kathie for turning me on this.

Philip Seymour Hoffman played legendary rock critic Lester Bangs in the classic film Almost Famous (2000), written & directed by Cameron Crowe. This video is a compilation of Hoffman’s scenes with William (Patrick Fugit), a stand-in for Crowe, who became a music critic for Rolling Stone when he was 15. These scenes are searing and true. If you’re uncool, you’ll understand.

Wow, Joss Whedon & Geoff Johns are real asshats. I’ve heard rumblings about Whedon for a while (on Buffy, Firefly, Avengers), but not about Johns, who started out as a comic book writer. (He’s still one today.)

At least the 4-hour Zac Snyder version of Justice League erases the foul taste of Whedon’s sugar pops version.

Ray Fisher Opens Up About ‘Justice League,’ Joss Whedon and Warners: “I Don’t Believe Some of These People Are Fit for Leadership”

Over the past year, the actor has assailed the filmmaker and studio in harsh-but-cryptic tweets for what he says was racist and inappropriate conduct: “I’m not so indebted to Hollywood that I haven’t been willing to put myself out there.”
