RIP, Tom Sizemore

Welcome to March!

Only one more week to go until the Oscars!  I’ll be glad when they’re over with.  Don’t get me wrong.  I love the Oscars and I love keeping up with all the Awards Season precursors.  But, once the Oscars are out of the way, 2022 will be officially in the history books and I’ll be able to concentrate on 2023!

Tom Sizemore died this week.  He was an undeniably talented actor.  Most of the talk on twitter centered around his work in 90s films like Heat, Natural Born Killers, and Saving Private Ryan but I’ll always remember him for his performance on Twin Peaks: The Return and the scene where he breaks down and confesses that he’s been ordered to kill Dougie.  Rest in peace.

This was a long week!  On Wednesday, I have an early morning doctor’s appointment.  On Friday, I had to drive my Dad to an early morning doctor’s appointment.  (Fear not.  Both appointments went well!)  I have to say that I may be reaching the point in my life where my famous habit of getting 3 hours of sleep a night is going to start catching up with me.  I’ve been exhausted this week.

That said, I have much left to watch before I can unveil my picks for the best of 2022.  So, that’s what this upcoming week is going to be all about!
