Bob Dylan doing an entire album of Frank Sinatra-associated standards sounds more like a comedy sketch than an actual project. I’m into it, though. In fact, its makes me feel like grabbing a guitar and spending the next hour crooning Sinatra songs in a Dylan voice (Vulture)
Four words: “Boogie Nights” oral history. I’m surprised it took Grantland this long (Grantland)
The companion list of the movie’s best musical moments virtually leaves out my favorite: When the intro of ELO’s “Livin’ Thing” kicks in, right between the karate kick and the end credits (Grantland)
What ever happened to John Waters? David Lynch? Are they retired from filmmaking? No, it just turns out these days it’s impossible to finance the sort of mid-budget films they want to make, as this wonderful piece points out (Flavorwire)
Fox News has taken the “Lego Movie” approach to the release of the torture report: “Everything is awesome!” President Business strikes me as the type who would approve waterboarding (YouTube)
I’m not going to use the p-word, but here’s a convincing argument of why that “hey it’s me your high school friend” meme is, uh… (Fredrik DeBoer)
Thoughts after the ‘Sons’ finale, and ‘Newsroom’ this Sunday: There are a LOT of major, or once-major series finishing their runs, just in the first half of 2015: Mad Men, Justified, Parenthood, Parks and Recreation, Glee, The League, Two and a Half Men and (we learn today) The Late Show With David Letterman. I’m willing to wager none of those shows will end with the protagonist purposely crashing into Michael Chiklis.

Strangers in the night…
