Today is the birthday of video game director, David Cage. Though Cage is a controversial figure, I’ve always enjoyed his games. Detroit: Become Human is one of the most replayable films that I’ve ever come across. (During the COVID lockdowns, I discovered how much fun it was to overthrow human society.) Heavy Rain’s mystery was intriguing and any player who says he didn’t feel a sense of accomplishment after winning the sex scene minigame is lying.
Here are four shots from four games!

A lot of my favorite actors and celebrities were born on June 7th. I picked out a few of them, based on how much I have enjoyed their work over the years. I may have even created my own movie marathon for the day!!
On Jun 6th, 1944, Allied forces invaded Normandy, France, in the largest amphibious invasion in military history. This action laid the foundation for the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control.
There have been some incredible cinematic portrayals based on and around that historic day. Here are some of my favorites.
Pat Garrett, the man who shot and killed William “Billy the Kid” Bonney, was born on June 5th, 1850. He’s become a legend of the old west based on that fact, and he’s been portrayed by many different actors over the years in movies and on TV. I love westerns so the stories of Billy the Kid, and thus Pat Garrett, have always been fascinating to me. As such, on the anniversary of the man’s 176th birthday, here are “4 Shots from 4 Films” featuring some notable portrayals of Sheriff Pat Garrett.
Bruce Dern has made so many great movies that it was pretty tough for me to pick out just 4 shots from 4 films. I ended up picking out the movies that he’s been in that have affected me the most personally, for a variety of reasons. I’ve noticed that Bruce isn’t the “star” of these movies, but each film benefits greatly from his presence. While he has had his share of starring roles over the course of his 6-decade (and counting) career, many of his best performances have come in supporting roles. The man just makes everything he’s in better.
Today, I celebrate the work of a living legend, Bruce Dern!
Today would have been actor Tony Curtis’ 101st birthday!
With a career that spanned almost 60 years, Tony Curtis starred in a whole bunch of classics, especially in the 50’s and 60’s. I’ve always enjoyed watching Curtis, as he could be suave and debonair, hilarious, or even a murderous sociopath, depending on what the role required. Thanks for the memories, Tony!
And one bonus shot…
