If I were Lawful Evil, I would write a tome debunking the QAnon connections with the Star Wars mythology and, thus, cement the QAnon connections with the Star Wars mythology.

The Mohonk Mountain House rising from the fog atop the Shawagunk Ridge in the Catskill Mountains looks just a liiittle too much like the Overlook Hotel for me to feel entirely safe.

This public bathroom in St. Moritz looks straight out of a John Wick movie.

My dad loved movies.  We never knew what to get him for birthdays or Christmas so we all, independently, seemed to converge on giving him movie tickets and passes.  When we sorted through his stuff, we found a cache of … Continue reading →

Continental

Posted on June 10, 2019 by d4vid

Wandering around the Financial District with my friend Gavin in the (much more Lond0n-like) fog & drizzle, we rounded a corner and I asked, “Is that the Continental?!” Apparently, it’s known as the Beaver Building or the Cocoa Exchange and … Continue reading →

Phoenix

Posted on June 9, 2019 by d4vid

Okay, yes. I saw Dark Phoenix in the theater. More out of resignation and for a sense of closure more than anything else. However, this Chinese poster almost makes up for the movie itself. Hope that’s a comfort to Chris … Continue reading →

Brand

Walked to a bookstore, bought a book. Then walked to a movie theater, saw Booksmart. Because I like to stay on brand.

Assemble

Posted on April 28, 2019 by d4vid

Much like recent Oscar nights, I can trace what I was doing in recent years by where I saw each Avengers movie. The Avengers (2012) in Banff, Alberta. The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) in Shanghai on my first terminus adventure. The … Continue reading →

Passive

Posted on April 2, 2019 by d4vid

This essay by Anna Borges really resonated with me.  (No one freak out, please.  Like her, I’m trying to explain a feeling here, not express an intention.) The notion of “passing driftwood” was something I particularly identified with.  Looking forward … Continue reading →

Carly

My oldest friend Eric was in NYC for work. One of the days we were hanging out, we took the Staten Island Ferry. Because free. Please note that neither of us sang Carly Simon.

Homesick

Posted on March 17, 2019 by d4vid

Finally had a chance to see How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.  Like the first two, it’s pervaded with a sense of wondrous beauty and aching loss.  The villain, Grimmel the Grisly, is a dragon hunter.  As a boy, … Continue reading →

Mad

Posted on March 10, 2019 by d4vid

My friend Debbie & I went to see a stage adaptation of Network on Broadway starring Bryan Cranston (in the Peter Finch role) and Tony Goldwyn (in the William Holden role.)  Only afterward did I remember that those two had already … Continue reading →

Holy

Posted on February 24, 2019 by d4vid

I used to refer to Academy Awards night as High Holy Day (although it’s lost most of its luster for me over the years.)  Thinking back to where I’ve watched the Oscars has been like a roadmap of the last … Continue reading →
