I can’t imagine being a fan of someone who isn’t an artist. Seems so weird.

oh shit tomorrow is circle back day already

Sorry but I do not like American actors doing Taskmaster. I don’t want to be reminded of your shit country while watching my favourite show.

Authoritarians never use good guys to set precedent. They choose an absolute piece of shit so everyone can go, "well, that guy is a piece of shit" and then next time they'll say, "if it's so bad, why didn't you stop me last time?" It's not that fucking complex, y'all.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

If they thought drug dealers were actually terrorists they’d be treating drug addicts like victims of terrorism but instead they treat them like crap so I guess that clears that up then.

What happens when they want Canada’s water instead of Venezuela’s oil? Who do they kidnap then?

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this

See ya next year, ya fucken nerds!

Nothing comes out of these water jets but lies and insinuations. Why did I buy a j'accuzzi?

2025 was ten years long so how come we're only getting one new years eve?

At some unknown point in the past a service tech replaced the wheel locks on my tires with random non-standard lugs for which I do not have the right sized tire iron... a fact which I discovered only today when trying to change a flat tire. Thus began a five hour inconvenient odyssey. ugh.

Was halfway through writing an insightful post about the nearly successful movie “Fackham Hall” and then was like, “what am I doing with my life? No one cares, just go to bed” So now you get this instead.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

bluesky is where elder millennials enjoying internet retirement meet younger millennials with untreated depression

“We must stop eating!” cried Toad as he ate another.

It is now Boxing Day. All willing Canadians must proceed to their designated arenas for combat. The vanquished will, according to tradition, be pulped into butter tart filling. The victorious will be given a parade through our nation’s capital of Swift Current.

still my favorite christmas post

My daughter saw the trailer for my new movie and started crying and yelling, “turn it off!” - so I guess get ready for that in 2026, everyone!

I’m sure other people will post it but hey

Posting about your successes at the end of the year? Pretty rude if you ask me.

Easy game for #filmsky: Guess which Wes Anderson movie these artifacts are from. (Taken during my visit to "Wes Anderson: The Archives" at London's Design Museum.)

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

On Pluribus, do the hive mind people have muscle memory? Do they share it? I get they share thought and memory... but I feel like muscle memory, just instinctively knowing where a guitar fret or space bar or how to throw pottery is more than just knowledge. It's somewhere else. Do they have that?

"I like writing because you can make things happen and turn out the way they never do in real life." -- Rob Reiner 💔

Rob Reiner on 30 Rock muttering “Rhubarb rhubarb, peas and carrots…”

If I did almost anything else two weeks before a deadline, I’d be a hero - but when it’s Christmas shopping suddenly I’m “last minute”? That’s nonsense.

Muppet Christmas Carol is great but the Muppet Family Christmas TV special is even better. It’s perfect.

"I only use ChatGPT for research." Why the fuck would you want to take the most enjoyable, interesting, procrastinatey part of screenwriting and give it away to a goddam robot?

Do we really have guaranteed rights and freedoms in this country if rouge premiers can suspend them at will, multiple times a month even, with, apparently, zero repercussions? www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

It's December, which means it's time for my favorite post of the year (which will be updated all day), the cinema of 2025 as gags from 30 Rock. Starting with ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

This remains one of my favourite headline-photo combos of all time.

Guys, we have all seen Tarantino's acting. We obviously do not need to pay him any mind when it comes to who is a good actor or who is not. I would think that was obvious.

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

Was pretty cold on “Bugonia” but I’m willing to consider I just missed something.

Hey Calgary! I'm teaching a screenwriting workshop in January with the CSIF called "How To Find Your Story." It's all about the work we do before we type Fade In. www.eventbrite.ca/e/how-to-fin...

My hotel room has a bathtub in the bedroom and I’m not sure what to do about it.

Holy shit. We cannot allow this government to stand when they will happily erase the charter rights of citizens simply to save a few bucks. That is criminal and unbelievable.

We are ALL puke nozzle man.

Wake Up Dead Man keeps getting better the more time passes since I saw it. It’s brilliant.

Vancouver! I am in your city. If we’re friends we could have beer. If we’re enemies we could have a staring contest. Either way, hit me up.

Watched “Sliding Doors” (1998) last night. But imagine if… I hadn’t.

All chess is 4D chess that's why they have that time clock thingy.

Speaking of weird Canadian shows, I once had a show in development at CBC about an inter-dimensional unicorn who granted mundane wishes if you murdered someone. That's true thing.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Apropos of nothing in particular…
