2023 Academy Nicholl Fellowship finalist | Black List Recommended. I'm just here for the cat videos.

[Leonard Johnson @BumpyNight]

THE FUNNY HE-SHE LADIES! was a 2023 Academy Nicholl finalist. A dramedy based on the Boulton and Park crossdressing scandal of 1870-71. Their trial became a cause célèbre that implicated London’s high society and marked the first recorded use of the term “drag.”

She was just like the others, cold and distant, and many people are like that. Women for sure. They're like a union.

Thank goodness you stopped yourself before you said that.

@Naturalphilosy One of the books is by Soupy Sales.

If you know, you know.

Maybe we should turn this into a straight up red vs. blue vote, with the losing side getting exterminated. You know, just wipe out millions of people based on arbitrary color preference.

[MrBeast @MrBeast]

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

[Leonard Johnson @BumpyNight]

@MrBeast If 100% of people push red, everyone survives.
If 50.0001% of people push blue, everyone survives.
Which outcome is more likely?

[Leonard Johnson @BumpyNight]

@MrBeast Everyone needs to push blue and stop with the psychopathic Thanos fantasies already. JFC.

Wishing a very happy 80th birthday to the genius filth maestro himself, John Waters! 💋🎞️💜

Which of his perverse cinematic pleasures will you be enjoying today?

[Leonard Johnson @BumpyNight]

Archuleta's book--about a famed bank robber and his improbable transformation into silent-film star--is a must-read for anyone interested in that period of movie history.

@DocOnco All the comedians here making fun of the "playing cards" bit have clearly never experienced Razz.

[Leonard Johnson @BumpyNight]

@sovietsoleri Judging from the movies listed on the marquee on the right, this must be 1981.

@thescrewballgrl Not quite accurate. He died the next morning.

EVERYBODY at the New Bev knows about the phone policy. They mention it in every pre-show intro.

@johnzaozirny @franklinleonard I've gotten this advice first-hand from several industry pros, including, oddly enough, a writer of mediocre but highly commercial screenplays.

[Leonard Johnson @BumpyNight]

@johnzaozirny @franklinleonard I've always thought that one of the functions of a manager was to help writers sort out which of their ideas are worth pursuing. It's easy to bumble around in the dark in that regard.

@theepicmap This looks like Risk played by mean girls.
