I just read the new SPINAL TAP book and there’s a moment where Rob Reiner and the rest of the cast ask each other which projects will lead their obituary. Rob was sure “Meathead” was going to be the first line of his.

I love this movie and I love Ethan Hawke, so I hope he just keeps on winning. (He's great in The Lowdown, too.)
The Boston Society of Film Critics votes for Ethan Hawke as Best Actor in "Blue Moon," and it ain't even close. Chalamet and Michael B. Jordan eating Hawke's dust, among others. #BSFC @bsfc.bsky.social
