May God bless the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.

I stand with Pope Leo XIV

So proud to announce my friend, Allegra Edwards, will be the lead in the CBS comedy ETERNALLY YOURS, which has now been ordered for a whole season. Allegra will be playing Ms. Hayden in my fictional podcast, PUNCH THE LINE, releasing later this year. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/c...

Pope Leo XIV is the man for the moment, as was Francis. Thankful that God gave us their leadership in these troubling times.

Pope Leo XIV celebrates first Easter vigil, calls for harmony and peace in a world torn by war

Blessed Easter, everyone!

"If I am not in a state of Grace, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me."

The world is made better not by what you take out of it, but by what you put into it. For what you take out of it will return in one form or another, but what you put into it, therein is a unique signature that will most surely vanish from the Earth the moment you are gone.

Sauron is defeated solely because Bilbo showed compassion and mercy to Gollum at a precise moment when it would've been wholly understandable to deny it.

Congratulations to the ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER creative team on winning Best Picture at the Oscars.

Well done, Paul Thomas Anderson. Well done!

Conan on fire tonight. Loving it.

There is a truly great movie within THE GODFATHER: PART III; it's just buried under a mound of poor story choices, production misfortunes, and directorial mistakes. Michael's denouement, however convoluted the path to get there, is poetically just, and the confession is powerful.

Excited to announce that the screenplay for PUNCH THE LINE, from which the fictional podcast was adapted, has been accepted into the Pasadena International Film Festival (PIFF). A tremendous honor. Grateful for this opportunity. Let’s meet the moment.

I'm so proud of all who competed for Team USA. From the hockey teams to Alysa Liu, they represented the flag with honor and grace. On to LA28.

I love this photo. Pure joy. Congratulations, Alysa Liu. A great American for the history books.

Happy Birthday, John Hughes. I am so thankful to The Academy for this tribute to him in 2010. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvmV...

Rest in Peace, Tom Noonan. Best Frankenstein by a mile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Erq...

A legend lost. Age 95 is a great run, though. Rest in peace, Robert Duvall. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Pro-tip for writer/directors: when we initially envision our settings, we tend to see overly lit sets as our imaginations grasp onto the visuals, so always remember to combine VISION with ATMOSPHERE to give the image more depth.

A "culture warrior" foolishly deludes themselves into believing life (culture) can spring forth from death (war). Therefore, the very phrase "culture war" is a nihilistic oxymoron, a disaster continuum bestowing misery and isolation onto those who wage it.

“Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.” ― Schopenhauer

My Confirmation Saint will officially receive beatification. What a holy year 2026 will be for me. www.catholicregister.org/item/3433-ar...

The Bad Bunny performance was full of spirit, life, and high production. I loved it. The Weeknd is still my favorite of this decade, followed by Kendrick Lamar.

A leader’s number one responsibility is to make those subordinated to them feel safe, protected, and secure. Enough that they can do their jobs and live their lives in relative peace. A leader who refuses to honor that responsibility is not only a failed leader but an immoral one.

Let your vocation be greater than your biases.

"No, Biff. You leave her alone." A subtle line in a movie full of quotable lines, but a powerful one, and a great one.

Good for him. apnews.com/article/2026...

Looking forward to Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl. My favorites so far this decade are The Weeknd at #1 and Kendrick Lamar at #2.

Lupita Nyong'o is simply divine, both in beauty and in talent. She'll make a wonderful Helen of Troy.

Wisdom is woven through the threading of life's contradictions.

Believe in the dream. Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The most blessed 2026 to you all. Onward and upward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_6V...

Ours is not an age of achievement through craft, patience, and brilliance, but achievement through rage, clickbait, and narrative algorithms.

Great artists are forged in the fires and furnaces of life's chaos and contradictions.

Brigitte Bardot was beauty personified. May she rest in peace.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I pray God fills your lives with beauty and light this season.

Your power. Your weapon. Your mojo is in your individuality. Project it. Use it. Mobilize it. Light a fire, spread your wings, and fly like a phoenix.

If there's an Edward Rooney in your life, then give as much as you can get... Be a Ferris Bueller.

I am heartbroken and devastated by this. Rob Reiner made some of my most treasured films of the late-20th Century; STAND BY ME being an unparalleled masterpiece. Rest with God, Rob Reiner. I am so sorry your life ended this way. ktla.com/news/local-n...

I pray very much for the well-being of Rob Reiner. Please God may he be okay. Developing reports.

I wish to express my deepest sorrow to my Jewish brothers and sisters over what occurred in Australia. This Hanukkah, may we remember God loves us through the darkest of times and holds true to His promises so long as we hold true to Him.
