I made a feature film for less than $250, and it is now available through POV Horror! It’s called .ask, it’s a found footage movie, and I made it as inspiration/proof of concept for hopeful filmmakers. Learn more here:

Quick note to all screenwriters: the more you “polish” and “structure” your script to fit the needs of script courses and gurus, the easier you make your job replaceable by AI. It’s your weird, idiosyncratic, fucked-up, unconventional stories that machines can’t easily duplicate.

Don’t much enjoy wrestling as an entertainment. But I have to say overall, it’s great to see progressive politics and LGBTQ-positive stances so actively and openly represented. One of the few sports that feels like it leads with that unashamedly.

All I’m saying is that if people started to Mangione the Epsteiners, we could all agree as a society to just find not guilty every time. THAT would be closer to actual justice.

IDEA: an Uber alternative where you hire white guys dressed like ICE to drive at-risk people to their destinations in black vehicles, walking them safely inside by pretending to have them “in custody.”

I think it’s fun that both the showrunners of LETTERKENNY went on to create hockey shows that cleverly observe or critique how masculinity interacts with the sport.

MOVIE TALK TIP: if your thoughts about a movie/show are what you think should have happened rather than what you think about what did happen, you’re not reviewing; you’re rewriting. And since the movie/show already exists, your rewrite is worthless.

I see a lot of HEATED RIVALRY discussion all over the place, but not enough mention that creator Jacob Tierney was showrunner of (and played Glen on) LETTERKENNY! I can’t be the only one who finds that hilarious and awesome.

Devastating news about filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, who were killed yesterday. Rob Reiner was the man responsible for popularizing the mockumentary format with THIS IS SPINAL TAP in the 80s. Remember him fondly by enjoying his work and honoring his legacy.
