Mood: Windy night. I like the crisp air and breeze… been standing outside for a hour just soaking it in. It’s very Lynchian in a “Blue Velvet” way. Matter of fact, I’m parked just a few blocks the #DavidLynch residence — waiting to pick up my son from a pre-pro mtg at a filmmaker’s house.

Tons of heartwarming #RobReiner stories today in the wake of his tragic end. Here's a great one about the making of THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.

Rob Reiner. No words. #RIPRobReiner

Date night w/ my wife to see #THESHINING #IMAX last night. Stunning. Flawless. I practically have it memorized, but I'd never seen it on the big screen--and now I've seen it on the biggest. The #Kubrick /Alcott steadicam shots and zooms still freak me out.

Ethereal, foggy morning in #Burbank. My photos don't do it justice. The world was practically black-and-white. #goodmorning #Saturday #vibes

Last year I surprised the family w/ my own Jólabókaflóð, the Icelandic tradition of Christmas eve book gifting. I included a short write up on the tradition. My daughter likes horror (wonder why) and wants to read #IT by #StephenKing, so maybe it'll be a scary 2025 Jólabókaflóð. 👻🎄📚

Doing another proof of my manuscript and I found the funniest typo I think I've ever made: "He shuffled onto the baloney..." Uh...balcony, not baloney. Must've had food on the mind. 🥪 😆 #writers #editing #writersky #funny

Timeline cleanse: the best of Buster Keaton. Grab some coffee and prepare to smile 😀. #funny #brilliant #comedy #moviesky #stunts #silentfilms

Case in point: I ditched #Twitter -- still won't call it #X -- 2+ yrs ago. I laugh at it now: all bots, incels and MAGAts. #BlueSky is awesome, I check in every day. Nothing but great minds here.

Novel querying observation: Some lit agents can get 100 queries per DAY. Probably a lot of AI slop in the mix. Like panning for gold during an avalanche. #writers #agents #writing #writersky

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. #moviesky #filmsky

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Accurate. #SpotifyWrapped #filmscores #soundtracks

Going to rewatch REIGN OF FIRE this weekend. So original. Great premise, cast, fantastic FX. It deserves reevaluation. #dragons #movies #classicmovies #scifi

The Internet is becoming increasingly unreliable. Buy books and read them.

All those “Pro-Life” folks who spent 50+ years screaming about people “killing babies”sure don’t seem to give a shit about people actually killing babies.

Well, Rob, I’d say this nailed it:

I named my fists Oscillation and Overthruster because I'm about to send you into the 8th Dimension.

9 Vaccine Myths That Won’t Go Away theunbiasedscipod.substack.com/p/9-vaccine-...

A heinous YT video of #AI #StarTrek disco caught my eye. I won't link it. I know it's not a new phenom, but #animation was hyper-realistic in places. This account and others like it are making $ from parasitic buffoonery using the faces and work of others. Imagine it's your face or work here. 😠

I always, always feel guilty for some reason when I have a lazy day. But today is that day. A little touch-up painting prep. Drove my daughter and friends to #Wicked. Now watching the 90s #TheOuterLimits for a bit. I might use the bathroom later. Maybe. I'll think about it. #Saturday #vibes

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: Gustav Holst Yes John Williams Heart The Police: Reunion

This is from a fantastic interview with #JamesCameron: the purity of performance capture acting, existential threats, #Mars, #aliens, #hollywood industry panic, the #WarnerBros sale, studio notes, #vegetarianism, what's next for #Avatar. Listen here:

This #Thanksgiving, I'm thankful my son is still with us. About a month ago, a car accident put him in the hospital for 3 days. Worst 3 days of my life because we didn't know what the outcome would be. He is thankfully OK, and was back on set a few days after. Today: Peace, #turkey, #StrangerThings.

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love... A brilliant debut, a super sexy neo-noir about two lesbians conspiring to steal millions from the mob. A chamber piece that feels much bigger. Great cast. Every scene crackles. Fav line: "It's fuckin' dark in here."

#RIP Spike, a #Burbank #Police #K9 officer killed in the line of duty last weekend. There's a sizable memorial growing at Burbank PD. Going walk over tomorrow and pay my respects. Rest now, hero. Good dog.

Hit up #RunyonCanyon today for a quick hike with the family--always fun. I was people-watching so much I barely snapped any pics. 😀 #LosAngeles #hiking

One of my all time favorite movies. I just rewatched it a few weeks ago — it’s the most realistic depiction of humanity in space ever made IMO. I keep hoping for a re-release or maybe that the NewBev will show it.

Cool.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago. Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

This is a great script. If you've never read a Richard Price script, SEA OF LOVE is a great one to start with. The movie's fantastic, too: a thriller about Al Pacino's NYC cop entangled in a BASIC INSTINCT-type situation w/ Ellen Barkin's murder suspect. #screenwriting #screenplays

Interesting that there are 2 new TV shows with novelists as the protagonists: #PLURIBUS on AppleTV and #THEBEASTINME on Netflix. Both heroines are unhappy, cranky, angry, for different reasons. Hey, #writers are people, too. 😀

Planning to do the Great Los Angeles Walk this weekend. We did it last year and had a blast. This year's path is Pershing Square to Santa Monica. A great way to experience parts of the city I don't normally see on foot. #glaw

Now watching: #CHRISTINE (1983), John Carpenter's terrific adaptation of the #StephenKing novel. I've always loved it. The scene where Christine rebuilds herself is still heart-thumping. Arnie's a great, tragic character. And Buddy...that dbag had it coming.

Loved @realgdt.bsky.social's #FRANKENSTEIN. I avoided all reviews so I could experience it without preconceptions. It's thrilling, meditative and artfully grotesque. Loved the Wrightson flourishes. The creature design + Elordi's incredible performance are an iconic combination, a benchmark. 👍

This is me at 15. I’m a child. I’m a CHILD.
