Have y’all seen these AI deepfakes they’re making of me? They don’t have any real attacks, so they’re firing up their data centers and making up fake ones. I don’t need to use deepfakes. The truth about Ken Paxton is bad enough.

My documentary professor described "Triumph of the Will" as being "almost Wagnerian in its mythic significance", the most pretentious thing ever said. Later we found that EXACT PHRASE in our documentary text. For the rest of that semester, we used that phrase as often as possible just to mock him.

I’m saddened to learn about the passing of legendary cinematographer Rodney Charters, ASC. Probably best known for the amazing “24”, his contributions to film and TV span 6 decades. I had the privilege of interviewing him some years ago. What a storyteller. www.camnoir.com/ep14-2/

For those of us who thought Mitch McConnell was dead this whole time, it feels wonderful to have been half-right.

That would truly be sweet. I’d love to have it on Blu-Ray. And maybe even record a commentary. We came out when the vibe was “would the last person leaving physical media please turn off the light?” We all saw the writing on the wall.

DVD yes, Blu-Ray unfortunately not. It was made for the DVD market (hence the dumbfuck title that I was forced to add the week we delivered the final product). a.co/d/08aWesAy

Wow that’s great! I agreed with them then and now about the title.

That’s so cool! I tried to go to all the festivals where it played but I didn’t go to that one. When was it?

I once had a dream that I was working on a TV show called “Glorious Ladies of Bowling”. When the abbreviation came up I laughed myself awake.

Right now someone is on a movie set making a lousy Amityville movie for no money and I just want to hug them, to tell them that they don’t need to do this. It’s not going to be good, and the only reason to do it is if the set itself is fun. Even then, go swimming instead.

Every time I film someone in slow motion I imagine the shot being used in their “In Memoriam” package.

If I've learned one thing about expertise lately: I'm supposed to pay extra attention to anyone who bought a tiny lav mic with a fuzzy windscreen, gingerly held between their index finger & thumb while they dispense knowledge. If Socrates, Mark Twain, or GG Allin were still alive, they'd have this.

Listening to true crime podcasts I always think I'm cooked if my google searches are ever a source of evidence. Case in point, today's search is: "What kind of tires does a bloodmobile need?"

Remember when we used to have interviews with people where they didn't have a giant soda-can-sized condenser mic and a giant black microphone arm in the shot at all times?

20 years ago, Sacha Baron Cohen’s characters blew my mind in how they teased out peoples’ unspoken ignorance and bigotry. Today, @neguse.house.gov just asks people straightforward questions in Congress. How did we get here? (Sidenote: Watch lots of his videos, they’re all infuriating. He’s amazing)
