So, Diddy is probably never getting out of jail. Wow!

This Soprano’s documentary on HBO Max is goooooooood!

Pretty much gives you everything you need to know about working in television, ngl.

“Being a man is how you treat the people who expect your love.” -Industry, HBO

*faints*

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

Industry on HBO is INCREDIBLE!

When the “MIST” hits. I just wrote this line in a script —

“Love is the question, but you have to work hard to find the answer.”

Welp, I’m done!

What’s a favorite line of dialogue that you’ve written before? #writersaresexytoo

So y’all know how everyone has a podcast, right?

Well, the Kevin Hart podcast with Kerry Washington is literally one of the best celebrity interviews I’ve seen. It’s hilarious and awe-inspiring. Just when I think I couldn’t love them both more. So good!

Fun fact: I have an attitude when I don’t have a haircut.

I love my ppl, we make any & everything funny. We are very unserious 🤣🤣🤣 #BlackJob

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

My #BlackJob is literally starting any line dance when I’m at a party! 😂

White folks get reallllly mad when we use the tricks they invented on them. #BlackNepotism

@Variety Ok Will, calm down now. Let us ride the Bad Boys comeback a little longer. It’s giving arrogance now… smh.

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

@Variety Why can’t the headline just celebrate the victory. It’s because it’s black. Come on, y’all.

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

Well, since Bad Boys and Will are crushing it at the box office this weekend, I guess we will keep Jada name out our mouth! 😂🙏🏽 (jokes)

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

I’m THRILLED that #BadBoysRideOrDie is coming out. The movie business, generally, needs this boost, but this movie will OVERPERFORM - and I need the business to put a focus back on making high-quality BLACK CONTENT. Will Smith has always lead the charge for black entertainment!

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

This, um, Netflix docuseries on the TikTok cult. OMGGGGGG!

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

Based on the trailer alone, for REAGAN, let’s go ahead and give Dennis Squad his Oscar NEOWWWWWWWW! He IS Ronald Reagan. My god!

Hey my Los Angeles-Entertainment peeps, I have an AMAZING mentee who recently graduated from USC’s MFA program in Writing, and who is looking for an Assistant gig within the industry, across all areas. If you know of anything, please let me know. Thank youuuuuu! -BCJ

Said to me yesterday:

“You too fine to be gay.”

Okay, I’m logging out of life. 😂

[Ben Cory Jones @BenTheWriter]

Not gon lie, I am actually a little more into football now that the whole Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift romance is going on. Everything needs a “love storyline,” including sports!
