If you ever read his columns, please watch this…I promise it is not a Spielbergian tearjerker.

Firstly, I am thankful that we even have a holiday that inspires us to think about all the good things in our lives. I do find it tiresome when some people argue that it’s a celebration of genocide — you can make that argument about Columbus Day, but Thanksgiving commemorates different races getting along…even if, [...] LYT on November 26, 2009, at 1:12 pm | Permalink | One backtalker - (Comments are closed) | Category: Announcements, Personal |
[Like 2Pac, he be dropping new joints even after he dead. Pretty sure this really is the last one, though. -- LYT] Don’t I know you? “Of course I know you. We met at a conference 20 odd years ago and I remember you well.” What sort of knowledge is that? The claim to know someone [...] LYT on November 25, 2009, at 9:25 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: My Grandfather's Column |
[written and delivered by Luke Y. Thompson, Nov. 20, 2009, at Sherborne Abbey in Dorset, England] Not long before he died, Peter Graham started a Facebook page. Probably not everyone here knows what that is, so let me explain: Facebook is an Internet social networking site originally designed for college and high-school students to network with each [...] LYT on November 25, 2009, at 6:51 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Family, My Grandfather's Column, Personal |
This past August, I passed the ten-year mark as a film critic. My, how times have changed. When I started, it actually seemed like a more pragmatic career move than acting. And I made a good living at it. The paper ran as many as six full-length reviews a week. I didn’t especially have much desire [...] LYT on November 18, 2009, at 12:10 pm | Permalink | 7 backtalkers - (Comments are closed) | Category: Chat, Movies, Uncategorized |

Following the Thursday closing night of AFI Fest in Hollywood – and let me give them major props for keeping the free booze lounge going on that day, when normally one expects it to shut off completely on the final stretch – I stayed home all day Friday, recouping and forgetting what day it was.

Initially, I was a little disappointed not to make the cut for the “closing night” (held two days before the technical actual closing date) screening of A SINGLE MAN. I was also surprised…are people that enthused for A SINGLE MAN? More so than the stuff at the other galas that I did get into? I’m [...] LYT on November 8, 2009, at 9:28 pm | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Fest-blogging, Movies, Reviews |
AFI Fest’s biggest scheduling dilemma this year was THE ROAD versus BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS. On the one hand, an acclaimed novel brought to life and starring Lord of the Rings guy. On the other, an insane German director and bugfuck actor in a name-only remake apparently about total insanity. I’d have been [...] Wednesday began with a look at Argentina’s submission for this year’s Oscars, THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES (El secreto de sus ojos). Courtesy once again of our emcee, R-to-tha-Koehl, we learn that the director of this film, Juan Jose Campanella, has actually directed several episodes of Law & Order, and that this informs his film [...] LYT on November 8, 2009, at 12:48 am | Permalink | Comments are closed | Category: Fest-blogging, Movies, Reviews |
