I just saw Boyhood. Seemed like a gimmick in need of a script. Not bad by any means, but not worthy of all the accolades that have come its way. The Imitation Game is my pick for best picture.

And Frank Turner's new CD should be out my summer. Lots to talk about. And there should be an enormous pack of angry, white guys heading my way soon i.e. GOP presidential contenders. Lots of things to chew on!
