Thinking about Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise pitch to Ethan Hawke on its 30th anniversary

Cassavetes ass answer (the highest compliment)

That was solid gold, buddy

Love the Mel Brooks/David Lynch friendship so much

Charles Bukowski gets cable, first thing he happens to see is Eraserhead, assumes all things on cable will be that weird and wonderful, then never enjoys another program again

David Lynch runs into Steven Spielberg at a party

Shakespeare must have been strutting around town like Tony Manero after inventing the word swagger

Had to give Alex Jones the Layla Montage treatment

Grizzled thief in a movie looking at all the pieces of a heist coming together and saying out loud to no one, “Son of a bitch, it just might work,” except it's me looking at Bluesky tonight. This really feels like the first Twitter alternative that just might work.
