New York City has a mayor? Wow, I had no idea. I wonder if they have other stuff, like convenience stores, breakfast sandwiches, and thin-crust pizza.

In Jaws, one of my favorite little things Spielberg does is the last scene with Brody and the Mayor. Both are in the frame, but Brody, with full clarity of purpose, remains in focus, while the Mayor breaking down does not. It's a nice subtle effect in a movie of flashy shots (complimentary).

Excited for the Royals sweep, saddened by checking the standings to see them 37-38 and already 11 games back of first place, and then excited again to see them only 1.5 game back of the wild card. Every day is a roller coaster with baseball-induced selective memory.

Looking forward to the High Fidelity sequel where Rob and Laura divorced years ago, he starts to date again after losing his post-Laura girlfriend, his vinyl store is still hanging on, and he hires but struggles to connect with his estranged kid who has moved to Chicago to attend college.

And now, an entirely fictional oral history of the time Stan Lynch pulled a knife on my friend's band's drummer. Aaron Cudahy, friend's band's drummer: When I was 14, my dad took me to see Tom Petty at the San Diego Sports Arena.

I saw Goonies in the theater as part of the target demo, and while it’s not without its charms, this is the most accurate description of the movie ever.
