It’s raining … It’s pouring … The old Gil went in to work today for some reason

Ive reignited my love of classic film this year, and Ive become obsessed with midpoint sequences. Name anything below, and I'll tell you where the midpoint is.

Congrats. You all made it into my Top Ten of 2025. Be safe tonight.

What do you think is the oldest "true story?" Is there a novel, film or even myth that references a true event, that goes back the furthest in history?

… You’ve never seen Ben Vereen and Wolverine in the same place though, have you? I’m just sayin’

Watching The Spy Who Loved Me. When a 007 movie opening titles features fully naked women, is it meant to signal that this is a mature film, or a highly juvenile one?

Hm. Storm's a'brewin... *Sip*

My grandma always used to say "if you have nothing funny to say, delete the post"

I’ll never forgive grief for making me a person who listens to James Taylor.

Sandler calls them ‘skits.’ Skits is fine.

This is the last time Im ever going to address this. So here it is for the whole internet; The best Disney villain song is “I Wanna Be Like You” from Jungle Book. An orangutan threatening an 8 year old unless mowgli teaches him how to make fire, which he has no idea how to do!?

I’m so old that we used to call them “pornographs”

Last night I dreamt that I taught a Stand Up class. And I woke up with a pretty solid syllabus tbh.

DID YOU KNOW!? Americans celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving in November! Happy American Canadian Thanksgiving everyone!

The funniest part of Predator: Badlands is the confirmation that every previous Predator was experiencing male pattern baldness.

Freedom's just another word for the stretch of road between traffic jams.

As Ive reignited my passion for the classics of cinema over the course of this year, one of the most important lessons that I find myself relearning over and over again, is that "Marathon Man" and "The Running Man" are two very different films.

Difficult Pificult, Lemon Squificult!

I shouldn't judge myself until Ive walked a mile in my shoes

If a news report dropped tomorrow, that revealed all pro sports are as scripted as pro wrestling, would you bat an eyelash?

My Halloween Costume is, If you see me at the party and I'm having a conversation with somebody, I want to you come up and ask them who they're talking to. When they say "I'm talking to Gil" You say; "Gil Baron? But he died on stage 15 years ago..." Thats it. Thats the costume.

Not enough credit is going to Jeff Lemiere and Chris Condon for how good JSA and Green Arrow are right now. They have such clear voices and directions. I feel like GA has been in a 'rebuilding' phase since New 52, or maybe Archer's Quest. Its now the book I've always thought it was.

As a comic book person, it’s baffling to me that there’s a Star Dodger named Freddy Freeman, but there’s no captain marvel/ Shazam signs, memes or a nickname. Nothing. That would be like if there was a Met named Clark Kent, and nobody cared.

There’s a Blue Jays player named Boba Shett?? #worldseries

I have a headache. But pronounced like “Jordache.”

I know could never stand up to torture. I can barely stand being comfortable.

True Life: Told too many people Im not into scary stuff and now my friends dont text me all October.

Okay, now I know everyone lives in studio city. #NoKings

The only evidence I have that Kirby intended his name to be pronounced Dark “seed” is that in one issue, Orion fights a member of the Deep Six named “Shark-seed” and it’s the only thing that could possibly be referencing.

“Start every day with a smile and get it over with” -WC Fields

This is the last time Im ever going to address this. So here it is for the whole internet; No. The Ghostbusters would never fight Godzilla. Godzilla is a living animal and by virtue of being ALIVE, is outside of the Ghostbusters' jurisdiction.

Lots of people experiencing cell phone outages this morning. Jealous.

The ceasefire is officially official. Ceasefire… now??

Driving home to my mostly-orthodox block. Saw chabadnik kids on my corner dancing, holding peace signs for the ceasefire and hopefully the end of the war. These are beautiful people, and there are people in our world with a vested interest in painting them as bloodthirsty.

Oooh, guys! Actually it’s supposed to be Raptors. Raptors… Sry for the misunderstanding.

Not a Bit; I was just at a friends bday dinner, across from his cousin-in-law who is a physicist. I told him I work in comedy, and all he wanted to talk about was Perfect Strangers, Balky and Larry, was Balkys accent real… etc My brother, it was 35 years ago! Let it go. Also, I never worked on it.

If you’ve never seen it, do yourself a favor and watch Butch Cassidy, and the Sundance kid today. Learn yerself something about filmmaking.

“A word to the wise is infuriating.” ― Hunter S. Thompson

Nobody ever calls it a Mr Spacely mustache…

If toothpicks have taught me anything, it’s that I have no idea where my teeth are in my mouth.

The opposite of Funyuns isn’t Sadyuns, It’s Indifferent-yuns...

I bet you're the kind of person who says "Sure is hot today." So go ahead. I know you want to...

Go take an old walk off a young pier!‬

Hey cinephile friends. I watched Gilda this week. Is it considered a great film? A foundational noir? A camp classic? What’s the sense of this one’s place in film canon?

Well, you know what they say… because you’re a better listener than me.

Its Friday! Name one good thing!

Spent yesterday applying to #jobs, but I fear the only thing I accomplished was adding my email address to several million spam lists.

I was thinking about Billy Wilder, as I often do. And I realized that he's had 3 films turned into musicals; Sunset Blvd, The Apartment into "Promises, Promises" and now Some Like it Hot.

It's Friday. Name one good thing.
