Legally Blonde would be fighting for "bend and SNAP benefits." I'm so sorry.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Just thought of really really good idea for a short film and now I’m so annoyed that I have to actually write and make the thing.

But the real baseball was the friends we made along the way.

The important thing is that it's over.

del Toro's "Frankenstein" is so beautiful and gothic and lavish that the production more than makes up for any scattershot faults in the story.

Sweet Jesus this is real. What the hell are we even doing anymore?

I'm late to it, but I wanna say that if anything, the hype on "One Battle After Another" has undersold how good that movie is. Go see it in a theatre – not for the size or format or whatever, but to just turn the world off and be immersed in something incredible.

America having a really normal time arguing about whether poor people should ever get to eat a cookie while billionaires literally ransack their whole country. Great country. No notes.

Turned in stuff so I get to treat myself and see two movies in two days in a real theatre. Living the dream!

Alberta kids just getting school supplies and anti-UCP literature for Halloween.

Don't know where this pic came from but it's on IMDB, so I'm calling it the first official look at my new movie: "ALL NIGHT WRONG" – coming in 2026. I assume. They don't tell me things.

It's not possible and it's unfair, but I would love to see parents keep their kids home from school. Strike the other way. Let the government send teachers back to empty classrooms until they agree to properly fund education, to stop unfairly subsidizing private schools and lower class size.

I literally won an award for "Comedic Genius" from the Chatham-Kent Film Festival, so I guess back up the money truck or something?

The Jurassic World movies are funny because each one is predicated on the idea that people are so bored of dinosaurs and no one wants to see them and then the movie is like... "And now let's all go look at dinosaurs, the thing I just told you is boring!" What other franchise hates itself this much?

I keep calling the Alberta premier's office and it keeps hanging up on me before anyone answers, I presume because NOTHING WORKS IN THIS PROVINCE. #abpoli #ableg

<intentionally walking myself to bed>

A province with no sales tax, low corporate tax, who constantly bails out oil companies and subsidizes bullshit saying THEY CANT AFFORD TO FUND SCHOOLS is basically a criminal admission of incompetence. #ableg #abpoli

This game is now as old as Wilford Brimley in the first Cocoon movie.

It’s good that instead of pre-covid “the before times” can now mean prior to this game starting.

The important thing is that no one is happy.

Oh you like baseball, well how about you smoke A WHOLE PACK OF BASEBALL!

I like that Twitters thing now is just racism and fascists and Bluesky is just nerds and sports nerds.

Holy shit I’m so furious at how the Alberta government is treating teachers. Using the notwithstanding clause to force a union to accept a collective agreement the has rejected is absolutely abhorrent behaviour. If they can do this to teachers they will do this to everyone.

I am moderately Hitch-obsessed, so I'm going to do Top 3 Underseen Hitchcock films: 1) Foreign Correspondent 2) Waltzes from Vienna (seriously) 3) The Wrong Man also Secret Agent, Young and Innocent, and The Ring

exactly

I wanted to like House of Dynamite way more than I did because it’s exactly the kind of movie I want more of but it just ran out of gas on me.

Quoth the raven, “A lot of good stuff here!”

Folks, when a producer calls you brave it means you did something stupid.

Republicans were never against fascism, they just wanted to do it first.

I'm going to beat this drum until my career is dead, but when 13 out of 17 projects for the "first time filmmakers ultra-low budget" program are all from Ontario or Quebec (13/17!!!) then we don't have a "NATIONAL film funder," we have an "Ontario and Quebec film funder." That is a problem.

Petition to keep Alberta in Canada is really close to collecting enough signatures, but we need to have a “comfort margin” in case some signatures get rejected. PLEASE, continue signing the #ForeverCanadian petition!!! globalnews.ca/news/1148977...

Yet again reminding myself that I don’t need the Wes Anderson box set.

I’m so angry that the 5 hour Martin Scorsese documentary is only 5 hours long and not 1,000 hours long.

Telefilm funds 17 Talent to Watch features and manages to not fund a single Alberta film. Did no Albertans apply?

Calgary's potential city council is looking very white and very male. Only one person of colour? 3 women out of 15 seats? Not exactly a representative democracy.

I'm happy for the Blue Jays. As a bird they make the worst noises, but as a baseball club they're cool.

I would trade a dozen Soderbergh / Kylo Ben movies for one Black Bag.

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

Destroying the White House?! That's Canadian cultural appropriation!

Calgary voting took awhile over lunch - but it's always worth it for the smug feeling you get later on when you get to be all like, "Don't blame me, I voted for so-and-so!"

Happy 30th, GET SHORTY and to Bo Catlett's screenwriting 101.

It's so sad now that I see John August post or share something and where I used to be like, "oh he's cool," now he's just "the fucking guy who put AI into his screenwriting program." He's an eye-roll now. "Oh that guy." I'm sure he's nice.

Instead of left and right the new political divide should just be “12 year olds” and “fucking grown ass adults.”

Kids are so lucky. To have someone come along and just TELL ME to go to bed? That’s the dream.

Are you in Charlottetown? Go see my short film “Now, I Am A Bear” on Friday Oct 17th! Search Charlottetown Film Festival to get tix, probably.
