Oh wow. It has been 10 years since the last time movie audiences around the world saw OG Screamers Never Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox together again and fighting for their lives up on the big screen in Scream 4…not to mention, 25 years since director Wes Craven delivered the first and seminal Kevin […]
This is the last time I beat myself up. The last time I knew a group of people, it fizzled because time ran out (the time before because I ran out…ish – another story, another time…or not). So I went away to reset unto an unknown time. People wondered where and how I’d be. I […]
Just the other day I was out in MMXXIami, having a daydream of Hollywood – of Hollywood, Fla. Of a chill place I’m calling Hollyweed. I saw green. I thought of hemp, hospitality, and mixology. Of possibility. Then, I woke up the boss of my reality and kept hoping. I just kept hoping. If Madonna […]
Miami, Miami. It struck me, Miami, this last time we visited. The cycle and the churn of the Magic City. And how a small seed can become something big out there. The amount of “Yes” I saw. It has gotten so international. It now feels like a global duty free. And the humidity is the […]
I have been saying – and writing…for the record – that the shit’s like The Day After Tomorrow for a minute now. In print, at least three years, since I became King. Of Cups. Now that we are paying attention, know that the media are gonna go beyond with the coverage, making it seem like […]
The thing about the DaBaby is he said something ignorant. Look it up. DaBaby thought he was being funny/macho/who knows (who cares), when he said what he said on stage at Rolling Loud Miami on July 25, and he wasn’t. And so Madonna took DaBaby to school for it, so what more can I say […]
How lucky am I, to have seen mixed-media work by Ebony G. Patterson on two coasts now. Had a couple of friends in town this month, so we took a hot drive down to San Jose – ’cause we know the way. It beckoned, don’t you know, don’t you know, to the Institute of Contemporary […]
There we were summer of 2018, roaming the cloisters of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal, when news broke that Anthony Bourdain had died. I found solace, reading word of his suicide on my phone, in that we were doing exactly what he had spent the latter part of his life advocating we all do, […]
So tomorrow’s Juneteenth. Ish. Corporate America is giving millions of American workers Friday off, in observance of June 19 on Saturday. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865, when Texan slaves learned they had been freed, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863. I expect that […]
Día 417: Después de más de un año de pandemia, por fin tenemos vacunas contra el COVID-19. Lo que no tenemos es un plan global para repartirlas efectivamente y equitativamente. Qué se hace, no? A seguirla nomas…con buen humor y buena voluntad. Un efecto imprevisto del novedoso coronavirus, que ojalá se vuelva aún más común? […]
