It should go without saying, but working with someone on a project is not an invitation to sign them up for your newsletter. Especially when that project was years ago! It's technically illegal to add emails to a newsletter mailing list without the recipients' approval, but no one enforces the law.

The funniest part of this asinine quote is BILL MAHER HAS AN EMMY. He won as an EP of “Vice” in 2014! He’s been on TV for over three decades and all he does is bitch and moan people don’t like him enough. He has 40 Emmy nominations! If that’s not enough to fulfill you, Bill, get some therapy.

This is a great point to which I'd like to add one thing: Carlson's faux-apology tour has repeatedly alluded to Trump being controlled, which is his obvious way of setting the stage to shift into antisemitic blame for the current moment. There's truly no need to platform this man, he fucking sucks!

This was one of my favorite episodes to work on. Alan McElroy and I got really excited about seeing a weapon from the Temporal War, so we dumped a hundred time travel ideas on Sean Cochran. He took all these crazy pitches, honed a few of them, and crafted one of our most fun episodes.

My wife makes some pretty cool stuff. Excited to see what she's been working on for the last two years!

It is my understanding that to be featured in Witherspoon’s popular book club, authors must give her production company an option for film/TV development. It’s understandable they’re pissed about tying themselves to a company now promoting a technology that’s stolen from most — if not all — of them.

Damn do I love “The Pitt”. I grew up around medicine — multiple doctors and medical professionals in the family, close friends that are physicians — and it truly captures all the personalities and pressures of that world. It’s great TV, and we need more shows like it (15+ episodes and shot in LA)

There's some fun stuff in here -- season 5 Breen costumes! Burnham's 32nd Century uniform! Book's billowy archivist outfit from "Labyrinths"! You could take home a whole bunch of (neutered) Tribbles!

I don't know who first said it, but film incentives are the heroin that Hollywood can't shake. The money is just too good. And that drug the CEOs can't deny themselves often destroys the lives of many of those around them. Much love to the crews of Atlanta.

Andrew Tate once said he thought people who read had "slow brains" that paled in comparison to his, which he described as "far too advanced." If you read his words, you're a fuckin' rube waiting to get fleeced.

In the last decade WB has gone through three mergers, all with layoffs. Zaslav, who made no real effort to service WB's debt, stands to make $800M off the deal. Paramount has been laying folks off since the Skydance deal closed; I do not believe this will spawn "more avenues" for work.

The "politically homeless" Joe Rogan smiling and shaking hands with a man he accused -- this week! -- of starting an illegal war to divert attention from his violent sex crimes. Real profile in courage right there.

"Time for the birth of terror" reads like a line of dialogue for Tom Hardy's Bane.

Well, this was an unexpected find in a vintage store. In the 90s, O.J. Simpson was the guest star on Disney’s “Adventures in Wonderland”. After his 1994 arrest, the episode (titled “White Rabbits Can’t Jump”) was‘t released, but this storybook adaptation had already made it to stores.

In honor of Artemis II breaking their record, I rewatched Ron Howard's "Apollo 13" last night. What a spectacular movie that has aged magnificently. I'm not much of a "Braveheart" fan for multiple reasons -- this is the film that should have beat it for Best Picture.

Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.

I’m glued to the Artemis coverage because it is so unlike anything we get to see in the news these days: cool shit done by smart, super competent people working together closely. Positive vibes but not treacly sentiment. Also (probably) a glowing alien god of peace about to emerge from the capsule.

I can’t help but notice that the female NASA commentator keeps using “inflate” as the verb for constructing the “Front Porch” raft, as opposed to the guy who keeps saying “erect”.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

A great write-up about how people are failing to understand great television. Anecdotally, the viewpoint of "this character's actions / beliefs reflects poorly on the creators' morality" is a concerning perspective I've encountered from not only the audience but also execs and colleagues.

Tell me with a straight face that these clowns would support an actual progressive politician over Trump. We've already seen them silently choose to support a sexual predator (Cuomo) over a progressive (Mamdani.) Every call to my reps urges both new Congressional leadership and an impeachment push.

To be clear, I have never hunted human beings for sport, nor for meat. Especially not for meat. I will not be taking any further questions at this time.

I saw this at Beyond Fest last year and really enjoyed it. Very clever filmmaking to maximize the set and adapt the game to cinema. The DING-DONG of the station PA will almost certainly be stuck in your head after watching.

It must be hard working on something and then watching another business steal it for their own gain without compensation and credit. Just imagine, a company -- nay, an industry -- so callous that it believes it can steal whatever it needs to sell its product.

Current mood.

Last night, I watched the 1979 Canadian disaster film "City on Fire". It takes its time getting to the premise, but once it ramps up there's a lot of fun pyrotechnic and stunt work. It opens with this ominous frame:

This whole movie is an insane ride, but I promise you will not be prepared for its ending. It's a Cannon Films classic unlike anything else in their catalogue.

Someone feed "House of Leaves" into this thing and make it explode.

This is doubly frustrating when there are plenty of other EVs on the market, many of which offer similar / better quality than Tesla at comparable prices. If you're in a major city, there are often used EVs in great shape available. I got a good deal on a 2023 EV last fall and love it!

Wait, this is what my wife's been up to all this time?! Making buff Hutts?

Oh man, tonight is the final episode of the final season of THE LAST DRIVE IN. I’ve been a fan from minute one and it was a real bucket list item to be able to take part and guest on an episode in its final season. Much love to Joe Bob, Darcy, and the whole LDI crew. You guys made something special.

She handled this very well, but I was internally screaming when this question was asked. Incredible Q&A otherwise. If you haven't read a book recently, pick one up. If you've been favoring non-fiction for some time, try a novel. I promise you it will likely be worth your time.

It's been a frustrating week with bleak news. Time to recommend some more movies that have fewer than 50k views (or so) on @letterboxd.social.

We're about two months away from RFK Jr. enthusiastically recommending the Grade F Meat from "The Simpsons"

It's incredibly depressing that a studio can come out of a remarkably strong year only to be sold to a company that wouldn't have greenlit many of its biggest critical and commercial hits.

Someone recently uploaded the complete George Lucas’ Super Live Adventure. And what, you ask, is that? It was a short-lived arena show that combined Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Willow, American Graffiti, and everyone’s favorite Lucas film: Tucker: The Man and His Dreams. It’s as nuts as it sounds.

The gulf between a 15 second clip with no meaningful thought behind it other than "what if two A-listers fought in a scene that looks like two dozen movies that'll come out this year alone" and a full-length feature film is much larger than the media or Silicon Valley will ever acknowledge.

It's crazy the amount of writers -- sometimes big names whose work I admire -- that share links to their Substack with no trace of shame. It's a company knowingly making its money off bigotry and has been for years! Find yourself new hosting that doesn't, it's not like they're the only option.

Just four months ago, Discord disclosed that 70,000 users' ID photos and other personal information had been leaked. Now they want a copy of your driver's license or a scan of your face, but they promise it'll be secure! If you have a sub, cancel it. We need a self-hosted alternative to Discord.

Last night's screening of "Never Too Young to Die" at @vidiots.bsky.social was the most fun I've had in a theater in some time. It featured a very memorable intro and Q&A afterwards with fan of the film Johnny Knoxville, star John Stamos, and director Gil Bettman.

I think the mostly humbling and salient truth I was ever given about working in television is “Remember, we’re here to sell bleach first.”

I don't know why they need to make short AI films about the American Revolution when the perfect one was created 18 years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRo...

"Untrained officers" -- no amount of training or reform can fix ICE. The Democrats fear being seen as anti-cop when we're talking about a MAGA paramilitary force executing people in the streets. It must be abolished. Anything less is a half-measure.

holy fuck it’s real
