Lauri, I forget if I shared this with you before, but if you are ever in the Connemara area I can heartily recommend a b&b across the lake from that enchanted Hogwarts castle. Kylmore Lodge. Tell Nora I sent you.

Tim Greiving’s new book about John Williams is a tsunami of love for movie music that pours out of its +500 pages.

When I interviewed screenwriter Brannon Braga about "Star Trek: First Contact," he told me Virginia's performance as the disembodied head of 'Jan in the Pan' was inspiration for the Borg Queen's head being lowered onto her body. 🖖🤓
