You have to love Loew's

What a grand building and shame on our mayor for behaving like a ten year old in a tantrum over the way he treats it. It must be saved, preserved and in local, caring hands.

Word Bookstore continues a string of great guests brought to Jersey City including Stephen King, Amy Schumer and last night Bryan Cranston.

First off, if you are a fan, he is one of the most delightful, sincere and funny guys Johnny has ever seen give one of these talks. In the Q & A afterwards there were questions from the crowd and some from actors. He spent maybe TEN minutes each answering young actors questions with what, if Johnny were an actor, he'd have appreciated. He's kind of an everyman as explained in his new book, A Life in Parts. He didn't just set out to be an actor, he's had several regular guy jobs which may help ground him. You'll find out in his book he was even a murder suspect for a while (he didn't talk about it other than to bring it up, then he tapped the book LOL).

Couple things -- Johnny has not watched Breaking Bad so if you have he hopes he's relaying a couple stories correctly. #1 the hardest scene he said he ever ever did and it messed with him for a few days was a scene where a young lady was having an heroin OD on a bed and Walt was watching it all unfold and he said for about 5 seconds he could picture his own daughter, about that age, in that situation. Not that his daughter did drugs but that's SOMEBODY'S daughter and as a father he saw her as his for a quick moment and said it put the zap on him.

The pizza on the roof scene. He told them there was no way he was getting it on the roof (They had one pizza) so they told him to do what he could. He said it wasn't like a regular pizza either, it was a super large pizza and he never thought it would land on the roof. NOW, that being said and fanbases being fanbases you can imagine what STILL happens to the house in Albuquerque New Mexico, people film themselves throwing pizzas on the roof. The couple who owns that house is older (they didn't tell them what EXACTLY the show was about) but they can't go up on ladder everyday to pull down last night's pizza. So it sits. And sits. And rats come. The city has been working on a solution about putting a security guard outside because the neighbors, they do complain.

Such a wonderful evening all around. Thanks Loew's and thanks Word!
