Today we honor the legacy and memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose message of unity and hope shines like a beacon in the dark. Dr. King's vision of harmony and acceptance is one we at Goodman Games share, and strive to emulate in our own humble way.

One reason I love my fiancé’s dad: he’s always down to sample whatever I’m pouring.
Me: Tata, want to try some of this 100 proof whiskey I picked up? It’s basically like drinking gasoline.
Him: sure, I’ll have a shot with you.

Rob Reiner has made several of my favorite movies of all time (The Sure Thing, Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, Misery, When Harry Met Sally). One of the greatest adapters of Stephen King’s works. Really saddened to hear this tragic news.

This week, Gill Man and I are reading “It’s Alive” by Julian David Stone: A fictionized account of the making of the movie Frankenstein. If you’re into classic monsters and old school Hollywood this will be a recommended read for you.

Rewatching original Interview with the Vampire. I have new appreciation for this movie with the great cinematography, costumes, and production design. After 20 years of CGI this looks amazing.

Closed out the weekend strong by seeing “The Long Walk” on the big screen with the family. Loved it - strong “Stand by me” mixed with “Hunger Games” vibe. Between this and “Life of Chuck”, Mark Hamill is on a roll in the King adaptations.
