Filmmakers say they won't watch a finished product after post production and move on to the next. I like it because it helps me see what I need to be better in.

Unconditional love from dogs is amazing. When they give you the loving and trusting look is an amazing feeling first thing in the morning.

Writer-types: what's a franchise you were born to write, but you never will? The Twilight Zone. Mostly for the twist endings.

After a full day of writing and shot listing it's time to kick back and watch a movie. Today has been a great day and I hope it was for all of you as well!

Watching Flash Gordon with someone who has never seen it before. This will be a lot of fun! Good recommendation @crobertcargill.bsky.social

Help a beloved Austin treasure. Tony is literally the guy who handed me my prescription sunglasses and said “Try these. I think they’ll look great.” One of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. If you can, toss a little in the hat or share. Thanks! gofund.me/22bbe0fa0

Met and talked with a "film person" who hasn't recorded anything in the last 2 years. I asked him if he needs any help on set even PA..."I use all my own people" is the answer I got. I bet half of them aren't near as passionate as me!

@thejoelynch.bsky.social I know it's been many years, but will there ever be a directors cut of Knights of Badassdom?

A place in Austin I will always promote is Juan in a Million. Juan is a very charismatic and nice guy. His son now runs the place and is one of the nicest people I've met. Support their business!

Some of the best and kindest people have the darkness inside of them. That's why we can write, record, and edit fantastic amd emotional things.

Yesterday, because it would have been Roger Corman's 100th birthday...I hope many people thought of him. I made sure to watch one of his that he directed.

Is all the AI just another fad like pogs were back in the day? Seems like most of it has been a failure.

@mikeflanaganfilm.com When you were making The Haunting of Hill House was there any inspiration from the movie Frailty especially dealing with the character of Theo?

When it's good the biggest point of a film is to get lost in it. The story, the acting, writing, editing...you live it!

On a rainy morning and home alone (sort of) decided to re-watch the phenomenal Bill Paxton and McConaughey move Failty. The dog can't stop staring at the screen. Proof on how amazing it is!

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

So completely heartbroken about the passing of the absolutely iconic Catherine O’Hara. Thank you for a lifetime of laughs and unmatched character work. The ONLY reason I have to smile today is that I know somewhere up there John Candy is about to give you the biggest hug ever. #RIP

I absolutely love the show Landman. Being from Fort Worth I just have to ask one thing...why have they not filmed Billy Bob Thornton at Billy Bob's in the Stockyards??? And no he is not affiliated with the place.

Goodnight everyone! It's cold here in Austin. 1 day left before the new year and hopefully this one will be better than the last!

@kumail.bsky.social Night Thoughts came at the perfect time. Some of the things he talked about resonated with me personally and he made light (but not disrespectful) on some serious things.

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas Eve. My only wish this Christmas is truly good will on earth. Please be kind to one another...people desperately need it at this point.

Watched Misery with someone who had never seen it before. I always have fun watching it, but it was even more fun this time seeing how much they were enjoying it!

This time of year is fucking hard. The holidays are a fertile ground for dark thoughts. Loneliness can drown you, even when you're surrounded by people. Take care of yourself. If you feel like you're drowning in darkness, please talk to someone. Friend, family, stranger. Anyone. You deserve love.

James Cameron can't lose at the box office. On a 400 million dollar budget (I'm sure things such as marketing doesn't go into that number) He almost made that number back the opening weekend. 88 million domestic and 345 million worldwide it will almost no doubt be in the top 10 of all time.

Generally I try to not mention when people pass except when talking to others in person because it's hard to deal with the hate filled comments of some online. The span of 5 days last week was rough. Rest easy to Rob Reiner and James Ransone who both brought me countless hours of joy watching film.

Let a close friend read a script I wrote. He looked at me, eyes wide, and asked "Who writes this kind of stuff?" I said "Me"

On a rainy night in Austin, finally got around to watching Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein. Out of all of the movies this year (which it's been a good year), this is hands down the best of the year!

Roofman was so much different than the trailers showed. Much more of an emotional piece than expected.

Even though it doesn't get talked about like it used to the saying was "work hard, play hard", but people like myself are different. It's work hard, then chill with a good book, movie, or TV Show.

Sinister, Halloween, Trick 'R Treat...anything else?

Happy Halloween, everyone! Best time of the year! Tonight will be a movie marathon.

So many terrifying and awesome movies released this year, but one of the ones I personally expect to be the best is the new Frankenstein from the brilliant Guillermo del Toro! That person will go down in cinema history as one of the best ever.

Black Phone 2 topped the box office this weekend. We'll deserved! @crobertcargill.bsky.social

If you're not learning, you're dying.

This has been a fantastic year for film! So many good ones, so many emotions. I believe we are going into a true creative renaissance again.

Holy shit...holy shit...I'm trying to digest Black Phone 2. @crobertcargill.bsky.social and Scott Derrickson and anyone else involved made a film which had so much more depth than a lot of people may realize.

Countdown 1 hour until Black Phone 2 from Scott Derrickson and @crobertcargill.bsky.social. couldn't be more excited. Been feeling like a kid going to the theaters again!

Black Phone 2 tonight! Been looking forward to this! South Lamar Drafthouse is the place to be!

Got my ticket. Get yours!

@mikeflanaganfilm.com put of curiosity, how long did it take you to film Oculus Chapter 3: The Man with the Plan?

Fucking amazing movie!

I have seen The Life of Chuck in 2 different phases of emotion. It hits different in both of them. It's amazing how artful that film really is! @mikeflanaganfilm.com @rahulkohli13.bsky.social

Tickets are on sale now!

Going to see The Life of Chuck from the fantastic @mikeflanaganfilm.com again in theaters tonight! Got tickets for Black Phone 2 from the fantastic @crobertcargill.bsky.social opening day! This is going to be a great month!

One of my favorite movies of the year. Do it for yourself. Do it for Pop Pop.

Saw at a gas station in Del Valle. @crobertcargill.bsky.social

I know I'm late to it, but They Look Like People is pretty amazing. The intensity it keeps throughout. Every writer, director, and editor should appreciate.
