I've seen them twice live, myself. I'm sure it's going to be a very bittersweet tour. I'm hoping to drive up and see one of the shows, though. The closest one to me is Winnipeg, which is nine hours away, but I'm willing to drive up the day before the show and get a hotel. Since I won't get another chance to see my…

Sending love and support to your family. Gord Downie is to me, what Bowie and Prince were to their fans. The Hip are my favorite band and they're music has been the soundtrack to my life for almost a decade now.

Saw the Hip on my 21st birthday in Chicago a few years ago. I waited outside in the cold after the show and I was lucky enough to meet Gord. He was such a cool and nice guy.

Agents of Shield got renewed for a fourth season about a month ago.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 will always remain the best to me.

I really wish that Inside Llewyn Davis had gotten more nods. It was one of my favorites of last year. I've seen all nine of the best picture nods, so I guess I'll share my thoughts on them.

The World's End was my favorite film of last year.

I write for a newsletter that goes out to a lot of people each month in Madison, WI. I write movie reviews for it. Not many famous people deaths upset me in the way that Ebert's one did. He is the sole reason that I started writing movie reviews and he will always be one of my biggest influences.
