Saw a bong at the flea market shaped like Homer Simpson dressed as Freddy Krueger.

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

As we put the finishing touches on Blood & Rust and gear up for a festival run, it's finally time to start spreading the word. Writers, podcasters, and the plain curious - if you're interested, get in touch and we can talk turkey/vampires.

Folks reasonably assume footage from behind-the-scenes featurettes are "truth", but it is now standard practice for studios to alter footage from "making-of" videos. (These gray screens are actually blue screens on the set of "Superman" (2025).)

Couldn't be prouder of the Bacchus Theatre Collective for being voted the second-best theatre troupe in Orlando Weekly's Best Of 2025 poll. Congo pinball machine unrelated.

Honored to announce that GenreBlast Film Festival will be holding a special advance screening of Blood & Rust, the debut feature I've spent the last two years of my life working on. Make your final arrangements for the first look while you still can.

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

A new and exciting way movie theaters aren't doing themselves any favors.

people keep sharing clips from the ice cube war of the worlds movie and I'm fucking dying

This is one of the funniest images humanity has ever crafted.

They should call the next one "The Naked Gun 4."

Central Floridians - there's only one week left to ensure you don't miss my first time acting on the stage amongst many people who are very good at that sort of thing. Get your tickets for Girls Night In at the link below and spend a night out staying in.

I did appreciate the detail in Jurassic World Rebirth that, sometime in the 2000s, InGen upgraded from Jeeps to Halo Warthogs.

No one deserves this. No one. Justice is not torture and indignity. Abolish ICE
