I had a great time last night, talking baseball cards, baseball art and baseball card art with @bowman53.bsky.social and artist Tim Carroll on Card Room Live. If you weren't able to join us last night check it out when you can. Fun stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRvo...

Time to gather the kids around the living room television to traumatize them the way this traumatized us in the 80s!

Spooky Season is officially here! A few times a week I'll be posting a simple illustration of my favorite haunted/spooky houses in cinema. First up is the ghostly suburban home that gave me chills as kid back in the '80's. Tobe Hooper's 1982 classic. #thisoldhaunt

Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” was released on this date in 1982.

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

My favorite Peter Sellers scene.

My book “Movie With Balls” published one year ago today! Had an incredible time bringing this to life. No sequel in production yet, but can guarantee that Happy Gilmore 2 wouldn’t be included.

Trump is full of 💩

To my brothers and sisters in the US, I can understand that you are embarrassed, please do feel the need to apologise (unless you voted for this numbskull). Not so long ago we had our own International embarrassment, you might remember him, Boris Johnson. So we know how it feels.

It's Springsteen's birthday, so take some time to watch a rarity: he and the E Street Band doing a flawless version of "Purple Rain" in the wake of Prince's death. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAYh...

Happy birthday, Bruce Springsteen!

When Trump was asked about the best book he’d read…

A whole room drowning in the color of piss.

a few of Caleb Deschanel's astonishingly beautiful shots of Robert Redford in The Natural

Watching The Sting tonight, and while Robert Redford (rip) is great in it, it's really Newman's movie. He moves in and steals the film from literally everyone else.

For anyone beating themselves up over something as random/subjective/irrelevant as a contest "miss": #scriptsky #writing #Screenwriting youtu.be/4wtIKdoo1x8?...

Rest in peace, Robert Redford - THE NATURAL - 1984 - Japanese release poster

Farewell to a man who epitomizes the word “legend.” I could gush all day about my favorite of his films (SNEAKERS, THE HOT ROCK, SPY GAME, THE STING), but better tribute is to acknowledge that the entire landscape of modern film would be vastly different were it not for Robert Redford. RIP

An image I created for my book on THE NATURAL. My all-time favorite Redford film and possibly the greatest sports movie ever made. RIP, Legend.

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

Watched Interstellar with the kids and if you were wondering, that movie and score still absolutely slap. The kids deemed it one of the best movies we’ve seen.

The upcoming documentary on John Candy had me searching for some of his SCTV clips, and this one where he plays a "food repairman" is pure silliness, the sort of thing that Monty Python used to excel at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCxs...

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

He's right that after he's gone all the political journalists who cover for him today will laugh about how bad it was and how "everybody knew"

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... HARD pass. #TheLongWalk
