Writer/Director of the feature film “Save State,” Chicago sports diehard, and all around fun guy.

@Bagodictionary I always put it like this.

Artists you admire sometimes have shit taste in the medium they work in.

[Scott the Writer Guy @OpenRoadOpenMic]

@silvamore That makes sense... Patsy wanted vengeance, Paulie always wanted to be in New York (and knew which way the wind was blowing) and Butchie makes sense as vengeance for Phil.

Chicago doesn’t need comparison. Enjoy the world here without pretense. Old Town was my hang.

@Ciscostime @sportsrage It was this or they spend a ton of money promoting whatever snooze fest Belal Mohammed is going to be in next and well...

@Jason_Floyd Is Aspinall even able to fight?

For all of Hearn's talk, the last time Tom talked about his eye it was "I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to see again" and he hasn't uploaded any training footage, etc, I believe.

he said he thought he'd be ready by now but clearly isn't.

Scorsese is pro-AI for the same reason so many middle aged and older people in creative industries are, and the same reason all those college administrators we saw getting booed were: they are being lied to about something they don’t really understand by enthusiastic rich people.

@Darren_Mooney How much of it is envy? We lived through the era of zero social media, camera phones, etc... they grew up with smart phones, yada yada.

@VampiricLegz Because Kadyrov pays very well.

@JungianTyler @facetedcarapace Depends how the loan is set up... borrowing against assets in that ultra high net worth space is very complicated

[Scott the Writer Guy @OpenRoadOpenMic]

@JungianTyler @facetedcarapace Depends on the interest rate... if it's LIBOR level (the level at which banks lend to one another), then it could just be a nuisance fee that gets paid off down the road.

@peanuthead1467 @FrontRowBrian When you've been saying the same thing for a decade plus, eventually you just run out of ways to say "I hate that I have to cover the UFC."

There's an entire generation of MMA media that's been done with the sport since before Covid... but they're too old to start over.

[Scott the Writer Guy @OpenRoadOpenMic]

@TheAlexSylvian @looksbizarre How many of the 70 plus out there are under option, though? That's where a large amount of money can be for the right author.

@PatrickGBook They don't know how to book a heel in the modern WWE universe... a good heel cheats like hell, etc, but also has a justifiable reason WHY.

And they also have to have diff entrances, music, etc, as well.

It's being a diff character.

[Scott the Writer Guy @OpenRoadOpenMic]

@peanuthead1467 @FrontRowBrian He's an MVP employee ... let's not pretend he can trash talk his boss in public.

Covering the UFC is something he does for fun but Jake Paul is the one writing him weekly checks for good exposure, etc.

Why do you think Jake's interviews are so kid gloves friendly?

[Scott the Writer Guy @OpenRoadOpenMic]

@d4doome It's charming to see this and then that they make Jack Reacher, which is about as genre goodness and violent, middle America appealing as it gets.

[Diante Lee @DianteLeeFB]

If we’re socializing college sports, why are we stopping at NIL earnings?

Cap coach earnings. Build a system that incentivizes/subsidizes post grad studies for athletes. Full ride scholarships for non revenue sports. Health insurance for a short time after graduation, etc.

An excellent article about what truly drives success in indie film (labs, a select few film schools, and money).
