I'll cut off my left pinky yakuza-style if there wasn't at least one draft of this script that had a reference to "mashed yeast." #IYKYK

So, I actually didn't do this (all day, at least) but I did finally catch the film BORN TO BE BLUE (2015) on streaming (a Chet Baker biopic starring Ethan Hawke). It's good, but man I had such a hard time reconciling the stuff in the film with what I've actually read about Baker ever since college.
