@MarxGasol I've been too proud to ask anyone to feed my social media dopamine habit with an invite, but if you happen upon someone with invites to spare send them my way!

Watching @TomCruise and @chrismcquarrie exhort the gospel of seeing movies on the big screen at a sneak preview of Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1

(what are you waiting for, get tickets to see the movie how it was intended!)

The magic of tv is a room full of writers. Brains bouncing off one another coming up with twists one brain never could. It's a room full of different lived experiences and different ways of seeing the world that give characters an emotional complexity one auteur could never match

As the Beastie Boys said, you gotta fight for your write...rs!

Pretty sure that's how that went. #ScreenwritersEverywhere #WGAStrike #WGCsupportsWGA

Jurassic Park was to a huge swath of older millennials (what we used to call Generation Y) what Star Wars and Raiders were to Gen X--the movie that lit their imaginations and made them want to make their own movies and television.

Many filmmakers have used smartphones effectively. There will always be storytellers drawn to contemporary drama and those drawn to nostalgic.

@scifibulle Just give your storm trooper therapist a quick, "these aren't the problems you're looking for" and they'll give you no troubles!

@MarxGasol Foreign corporations say a country's citizens are out of step with defining their own culture is quite the headline.

My daughter's best friend at daycare, Darcy, had his father suddenly taken from him while traveling for work. Over the last eight months, Nate and I had started to strike up a friendship. Beyond my personal sense of loss, I feel so profoundly sad for his wife and 2-year-old son.

If you cannot, I hope this post just serves as one of those annoying reminders of our mortality and our need to savour every moment we're here ❤️

In times of insane inflation, helping a family you don't know is a steep request, I know. But if you happen to be comfortable enough to donate, it'd be greatly appreciated.
