Spending my time in Courier 12 or making you laugh. Find my movies on YouTube. Find my prose on Amazon & Audible. New novel: Turning Corners out now!

Love the variety of answers. I do think the late 90s-early 00s produced some masterpieces though. Saving Private Ryan. Minority Report. Catch Me If You Can. All fantastic movies.

In honor of Steven Spielberg’s @disclosureday arriving in theaters this week, @colliderfrosty asked some of your favorite stars a very important question:

What’s your favorite Steven Spielberg movie? 🤔🍿

From Jack Black and Paul Rudd to Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and the cast of Stranger Things, the answers range from all-time classics to a few surprising deep cuts.

What’s YOUR favorite Spielberg film? ⬇️✨

It’s ok to feed the (pregnant) stray cat, she said. Nothing will come of it, she said.

Not to go all Nicole Kidman on you, but 35 years into this job, I still treasure the shared experience of watching a film with an audience that is absolutely lost in the story and barely moves for two hours or more.

For every good panel discussion on a cable news show, there are about 15 bad ones. Amazing the format that (on paper) should generate the most robust discussions has such a bad track record.

personally I love the "the stupidest elected official I have ever seen in my life is also an evil genius capable of anything" conspiracy theories

@katrosenfield I think that’s why context and distinctions are so important in these conversations. Most of what keeps popping up in my feed the last 24 hours are folks using the same words/phrases to mean radically different things.

Friends Divided was a fantastic book, and his impact as a historian was immeasurable. Terribly sad. RIP.

Gordon S. Wood, the eminent historian of the American Revolution, has been identified as the pedestrian struck and killed in the parking lot outside Shaw’s in East Providence on Sunday. He was 92: https://t.co/r098x6i1fD

@BovyMaltz Ouch, expecially after just hearing the podcast.

[Mike Smith @mikesmithwriter]

Rapidly approaching and I’m still nervous about this.

[Mike Smith @mikesmithwriter]

I am an in-person guest at an upcoming ladies book club who are reading Turning Corners next week and I can’t put into words the anxiety I’m feeling 🤣

[Mike Smith @mikesmithwriter]

@katrosenfield As one of the OG 2k followers, this was really tough to read. Kudos for putting this out there.

[Kat Rosenfield @katrosenfield]

A bunch of people asked me to write about being canceled in 2017, so for the first (and hopefully last!) time, I blogged about it at LENGTH

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Seven properties, a Mercedes G-Wagon, sneakers worn by Kobe Bryant and a Mickey Mantle rookie card worth $1.5 million. All of these things were bought with taxpayer money.

Paul Randall pleaded guilty in one of the largest Medicaid fraud schemes in the California history – diverting more than $270 million in tax dollars.

Good movie. Like a 2 hour episode of The Twilight Zone

[Mike Smith @mikesmithwriter]

Now watching: Backrooms

[Mike Smith @mikesmithwriter]

Disappointed in myself for not realizing a new Gus Van Sant movie dropped on Netflix. With an amazing cast! Fun thriller. Def recommend. Kudos @AustinKolodney on a great script.

@BovyMaltz As a self published author I can say it’s much more likely I end up in the NYT than my mom figure out how to write an Amazon review.
