So, did anybody else watch Barton Fink? It was… different. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I was a professional writer or part of the Hollywood scene. Full of arty symbolism and allusions that mostly went over my head, I guess. Some fine acting all around. I particularly enjoyed John Mahoney (...

I only found out myself a couple years ago. There’s a video somewhere on the internet of Martin Sheen talking about Bonnie’s uncle. I met him once. He died of a heart attack in the 90s. Good guy. I’ll try to find that video. We’re in fairly close touch with his daughter.
