UCLA takes down Southern Cal in basketball! And if you'd like to see the Trojans lose again, you can watch Chris Nolan's "The Odyssey" in theaters this summer.

Rewatched "Phone Booth" (2002) tonight. It's amazing to think that five years after the movie came out, you could have watched the entire movie on an iPhone.

Unreal. Thank you to everyone in @asifahollywood.bsky.social for their support of the series! Much love to our entire cast and crew!! Go Pickles! #pixar #disneyplus #winorlose #disney

This morning I got to watch Hoppers in 3D this morning, and this evening I got to watch Win or Lose win some Annie Awards!

It's been fun seeing people's reactions to the new Toy Story trailer today! It's only a few months away, and in the meantime Hoppers comes out in two weeks!

Today I realized Billy Dee Williams's name is William Williams. Then I went and looked it up, and it turns out his full name is William December Williams Jr.

I've noticed a strange trend lately of directors somehow negotiating to share the "edited by" with their actual editor. What's next, a shared "costume design" credit?

Hard to believe California Adventure is 25 years old. I was lucky enough to see it a couple weeks before it officially opened. So much has changed since then, as you can see from this panorama I took back when they started building World of Color. Photo originally taken: 2009-10-28 #DCA25

Watched the new Muppet Show and I ended up doing the Leo pointing at the TV meme when I recognized Griffin Newman in the audience.

Tonight I watched a director's commentary for a fairly big film from the early 2010s, by a relatively big name director. I'd say about 20-30% of the commentary was the director just describing what was on screen, as if it was the descriptive audio track.

When I was in film school I got a $25 general admission ticket to attend the Annie Awards. 12 years later and I got to work on one of the nominated shows!

Thinking of all the poor dyslexic kids waiting for Satan to come down the chimney tonight

Rewatching "Avatar: The Way of Water" and it got me wondering. There's got to be a list of movie sequels that contain footage from the previous film as a diegetic element. Not a flashback, but something where characters are watching footage on a screen.

Spent the evening watching "The Muppets Christmas Carol" and "Muppets Family Christmas"

@robyeodesign.com A couple pictures of "Toy Story Mania" at Hollywood Studios from last week for your #emptyqueueproject

We found a typo on a poster in "Battle at the Ministry" in Epic Universe. Item 3 should read "Agree on security questions..." The book text is correct, but the movie poster at the link below is also wrong. Both book & movie also include an extra item 2. harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Protect...

Back on dry land, and tomorrow we head to Epic Universe!

Heading out on the Disney Destiny today!

Today marks the end of my 18th year of attending every UCLA Football home game. It's going to be very weird if we're not back at the Rose Bowl next year.

"Wake Up Dead Man" is excellent! Thank you for another wonderful film @rianjohnson.bsky.social!

This is so cool and still feels surreal!

#WinOrLose is nominated for 7 Emmy's! www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/2...

Glen Powell's voice sounds eerily similar to George Clooney's.

I wish prestige tv shows would stop using jump cuts to speed up a character doing something mundane. Audiences don't need to see someone tying their shoe, and we certainly don't need to see both the start and finish of the process.

Went and a saw the 40th Anniversary of Back to the Future in IMAX earlier today. One of my favorite things about rewatching movies on an large screen is how your eyes are drawn to different parts of the frame you might not normally notice.

@33wonderland.bsky.social I saw a 9VK license plate on my commute this morning and thought of you

Go Bruins! After four straight losses to start the season, UCLA is now tied for 3rd place in the Big Ten! #Rover And Southern Cal lost, which is even better.

Another pleasant surprise for UCLA Football! #GoBruins #Rover

What a cast! I processed dialogue from every single one of them, and they were all amazing! The casting team really hit it out of the park on "Win or Lose"!

Well I certainly wasn't expecting UCLA to win today, but that was a lovely surprise! And it was the first game of the season with a full marching band, which made it extra special. #GoBruins #Rover

Spent most of today setting up my new phone. It's unfortunate how much stuff just doesn't transfer between devices, and how many new settings there are with a new OS. I haven't even tried out any of the new features yet.

Despite an initial hiccup, I managed to order my phone through the discount webpage and get a delivery date of Friday. Now back to bed for a bit.

This is my 18th year with the UCLA Marching Band. I joined the band when I was 18 years old. Which means I've now been doing this for half my life!

I'll be there!

I've been at the airport for less than 15 minutes and already ran into 4 coworkers.

@parklore.com It was nice getting to hear you on Epic Universal Podcast. Keep up the great work!

His name is Tom. See him in Pixar's Hoppers, March 2026

@tvaziri.com I'm reading Paul Hirsch's book and noticed this paragraph about the "shooting star" in "Jaws." I thought it might interest you.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Pixar’s WIN OR LOSE for their Television Critics Association Award nomination! A big thank you to all of the critics and fans for their support of the series!! #winorlose #pixar #disneyplus @pixar @disneyplus #tv #tvshows #reviews #comedy #parenting #disney

This one's gonna be hilarious! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJnA...

Decided to rewatch Jaws last night. I'm still blown away that Spielberg was 27 when he made it. Photo originally taken 2024-07-05 at Universal Studios Hollywood

I work with such lovely people. Twice in the past week, a coworker has seen me waiting for the bus and given me a ride so I didn't have to wait.

@tvaziri.com I watched "Speed Racer" for the first time tonight and caught a familiar name in the credits. Nice work!

I usually watch Jaws around July 4th every year, but this year I decided to watch "Inside Jaws, A Filmumentary" by @filmumentaries.bsky.social It's a lovely combination of clips from the film, behind the scenes footage, interviews, and trivia, all expertly put together. vimeo.com/68400837

Pixar's Elio is out in theaters today! In a summer full of sequels, remakes, and franchises, this is a chance to support an original film, so please go see it.

TIL that "Jaws 3D" includes this rather unusual writing credit: Suggested By The Novel "Jaws" By Peter Benchley

Now I can finally reveal why my phone was filled with voice memos of me recording my cat last year. www.thewrap.com/gatto-pixar-...

Pixar’s WIN OR LOSE S1 premieres on the Disney Channel 8PM tonight! (June 7)! Check it out! #pixar #winorlose #disneychannel

Some days at work there are delightful things that I never imagined I'd experience. Yesterday: Watched animator Glen Keane draw Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Today: Played an impromptu game of HORSE on the basketball court with a director.

And if you liked it on YouTube, there are 7 more episodes on Disney+ waiting for you!
