I do stuff. I'll tell you about it here. Founder of @TheMovieGuysOnline, The @LALocationsTour, Digital Mind Productions, and co-host of The Ford Fiesta podcast. The bit, above all things.
The Academy won't show Oscar-nominated films to members on the big screen, only at-home screeners (due to low attendance). C'mon voting members. You can't complain about the slide of theatrical releases if even you won't go to them. I went! (see pics)

It's a day when America comes together, gathers around the T.V., makes a great spread of food and enjoys a national tradition - celebrating that on this day in 1985, WITNESS was released in theaters!

Love these lunatics and had a damn fine time bowling with them last night. Hadn't bowled in a while, but I still got it! We used bowling names so that's me - Mitch - with the 211. It is. Stop that, that was me. Also, death metal (DEATH METAL) in the alley's bar 'cause why not?

Big week for Susan with the show & the book. We celebrated at Nava Rooftop Bar & Lounge on the final night of DineLA! The DineLA program has meal deals all over town, we finally squeezed one in with flatbread, cheeseboards & gelato. If you've never taken part in DineLA, don't miss out next year!

GOOOOOO Susan! As the understudy for Meredith in KID GLOVES last night, she rocked! So proud of her, she was laser focused, sang like a champ and was FUNNY. It'd be terrible if something bad happened to one of the actors she's covering, like they get into some kind of accident...

FINALLY got to the JAWS exhibit at The Academy Museum! Simply one of the greatest movies ever made, and it has kept millions of people from swimming for FIFTY YEARS. Perhaps the movie with the most social impact ever. If you've never done it, I recommend taking the guided tours. Free with admission!

Now that I'm a homeowner, I'm taking advantage of things like going to Burbank City Hall and trying to make improvements to the landscaping of the neighborhood. I could get used to this.

This was the craziest stuff I've ever seen. I could only watch 2-3 minutes at a time when it was live, my nerves were going berserk. These are great recaps, and I think the commentator speaks for all of us when he says, "Oh no, no, no.....".

Saturday I cashed in a gift Susan got me: high tea at The London Hotel in West Hollywood! If you want a classy afternoon with good food & drink, I can recommend this in a big way. We did high tea last spring overseas and she paid attention to how much I enjoyed it. Well done, Susan.

I’ve watched/listened to this every day 5 days straight. 10 years gone is hard to believe. The command that band has over the audience, the trance Bowie puts the fans in, and the SOUND that Ronson puts out in the finale. Some of the best rock and roll I can think of.

Sights from recent Ghostbuster parties:
- Look at the disrespect shown poor Slimer.
- In the ECTO-1, people honk at me and give me a thumbs up. On this day, I got out-honked-at by a newlywed couple!
- I support the kid who created marshmallow people roasting marshmallows. Dark, but awesome!

Susan's in a show! She's the understudy for the female roles so who knows when she'll go in, EXCEPT - Feb. 5th! That show's guaranteed to feature her in a musical about a reality show about children's entertainers who are mostly horrible people.

Last week I got to tour Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank and it's a whole campus (doesn't look that way from the street)! You'll need to weasel your way in with a special event or screening but if you ever get in - worth it!
They've got a movie theater! How have I not been here yet?
