There are only two kinds of movie scripts.

1. I want to spend two years on this.
2. Others.

Well said.

The Obsession art director post. Man, what a choice.

One year total experience. Only credit pre-Obsession is a single short film. Sign on to a low budget indie. Agree to rate. Movie explodes. You're suddenly the Art Director fo the most talked about film of the year.

If this ever happens to you, let me give one piece of advice. Embrace it. Use the credit to fight off offers, get a BTL agent, turn those difficult three weeks into an incredible career.

Do NOT cut every connection you have to the filmmakers, put out tweets about how you wish you'd shut down their production, and complain about the rate you agreed to (which isn't even like $100 or some student film sketchiness).

Do you know how many indies I have done as an actor for $240/day? A fucking lot. Every single time I know what I'm getting into and I hope to god it turns out well and leads to another opportunity. I cannot even imagine getting cast in Obsession and then putting out a career ruining post about it instead of trying to leverage it into more work.

Hollywood is starting to change their system of talent selection. They are now making big bets on successful internet filmmakers. This is amazing news because the alternative was so political and cheesy and failing. It is a new dawn and I am so stoked about it.

@LukeBarnett @dabongohead Preach.

[Jordan Drake @JordanDrake]

Infinitely rewatchable.

My brain keeps parsing this as 'Paddington: Escape From New York' and I need StudioCanal to know I would pay real money to watch Paddington navigate a post-apocalyptic Manhattan with nothing but a hard stare and a marmalade sandwich.

@LukeBarnett So excited for this one.

[Jordan Drake @JordanDrake]

@LukeBarnett Can't wait to see it!

Galaxy Quest is still pitch-perfect. The screenwriting, the performances, the directing.

It's one of my favorite examples of getting a wide-ranging tone just right.

It goes from comedically outlandish sci-fi to genuine character moments, and it never misses a beat of emotional truth in between.

That is so much harder to do than people realize. A truly remarkable feat.

I love this movie.

LFG.

We’ve got dinosaurs. We’ve got Ewan McGregor doing an American accent. We’ve got Anne Hathaway in a split diopter shot. Directed by David Robert Mitchell. Some movies can’t have everything. This movie does.

@Jebailey United has been better than Delta for a while. The Starlink is far superior to Delta’s WiFi. Makes me very sad as a Delta guy.

@LukeBarnett Love how much traction you're getting with this one - incredible!

A New Hope.

Timothée Chalamet made a surprise appearance, and talked with the audience at a ‘Marty Supreme’ screening in New York City.

“For your information, I’m doing this at every screening, for the next four days. I got 128 appearances in the next 96 hours.” 🩶
