“He feared his dreams.” #traindreams

Books lead on to other books... When I was offered the chance to review Denis Johnson's "Jesus' Son" for Shiny New Books (I'll link when this is live), I was reminded that I had also intended to read his "Train Dreams" for some years. As I mentioned previously, Johnson's "Already Dead" was a book I read and loved when it first came out in the late 1990s (and it's still on the shelves) but for some reason I had never got to his other…

Anybody wanna talk about the #Oscars here?

I loved #OneBattleAfterAnother and #Sinners. #MartySupreme was good and intense. I don't understand why #F1 was nominated. I respect #Bugonia but c'mon. Tried #TheSecretAgent but we were tired. Liked #Hamnet the play. Didn't get to #Frankenstein, #SentimentalValue or #TrainDreams. Should we have?

#Movies . . .

I just finished watching #TrainDreams (2025) which is 1 of the 10 movies nominated for Best Picture at the #Oscars tonight.

It's an interesting, low key #movie about an ordinary man (that is narrated in part) who sees some awful things happen around him & who suffers a terrible loss (much like the characters in #Hamnet) but who otherwise lives a life of little consequence (as most of us do).

I liked it & it has no chance of winning but I recommend watching it if you can still find it at the theater or streaming it online. I watched it for free on my favorite #AltStreaming channel.

Only 3 more movies on the Best Picture list remaining to been seen. I'm watching #Bugonia now. Don't think I'll be able to watch the other 2 -- #SentimentalValue or #Secret Agent before the #Oscars award show tonight but I'll give it a try.
