The passing of James Van Der Beek at just 48 hits hard. Has it really been 28 years since Dawson's Creek premiered? More than 23 years since The Rules of Attraction? A sad day all around.

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/02/07

On February 6, 1967, fellow Heavyweight Champions Muhammad Ali and Ernie Terrell fought a unification bout. Nearly six decades later, Ali's one-sided victory is almost an afterthought, as Ernie's stubborn insistence on calling his opponent "Clay" sent the normally affable Ali down a dark path.

2026/01/27

30 winters ago, my 53 y.o. dad suffered a full groin tear while sledding after a snowstorm. Although he made a full recovery, that fluky injury opened the door to other issues.

Carlos and Andruw's Hall Call ⚾️🤔

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/22

Fellow CF legends Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones were just elected to the MLB Hall of Fame. Jones' inclusion makes sense and is (IMHO) well-deserved. And just on career stats/WAR, Beltran is a worthy pick. Unfortunately, Beltran's case is a lot more complicated.

How Movies Inspire Real-Life Fitness Transformations

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/21

Seeing a performer transform him or herself for a role is often shocking... and often motivating. For me, Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 and Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear served as inspiration for me at the start of my own fitness journey, while still in high school.

A surefire 2026 Oscars contender, Ryan Coogler's Sinners has many obvious parallels with From Dusk Till Dawn, which turns 30 on January 18th. Join me for a deep dive.

My #2016Challenge

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/17

2016 was something of a "best of times/worst of times" type of year. What did I learn from it as it was ongoing, and what do I take from it in 2026?

"Three Essentials": Clint Eastwood

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/15

The first in our new series titled "Three Essentials" centers on Clint Eastwood, and why I think The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Dirty Harry, and In the Line of Fire are the three movies to watch/rewatch to understand how and why Clint Eastwood became "Clint Eastwood."

The Wedding Singer Turns 28 😫😭

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/13

OTD, 1998: The Wedding Singer premieres in NYC. Adam Sandler is solid, but the immensely likable Drew Barrymore makes the movie. Also, I literally can't believe that this movie is 28 years old.

OTD 1991: Van Dammage in Manhattan

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/11

Happy 35th to Lionheart, released 1/11/91! Jean-Claude Van Damme is a laugh riot as a lethal kickboxer who shows up in NYC and beats the crap out of everyone.

"What's in a Name?"

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/09

A 1991 Miramax production starring the late Robbie Coltrane opened in the U.S. as The Pope Must Diet. Alas, that was NOT its original title...

Resolutions for 2026

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/07

It's true that the first days and weeks of January see an influx of new gym members. IMHO "New Year's Resolutions" should be retitled "Resolutions." Change doesn't happen overnight. Stay the course long enough for a mindset shift to occur, to where fitness becomes a part of your life, not something you're trying out in January.
