Unbelievably, today, June 4, is 19 years(!) since first day of production on "How To Lose Friends & Alienate People" with Simon Pegg & Kirsten Dunst. This picture taken moments before rolling camera on the first take of my debut as a feature director.

A great Sunday night at Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood, with my two favorite contemp. jazz singers. Stacey Kent (next to me) performing, Kat Edmonson as my guest. Also pictured, Jim Tomlinson -- Kent's songwriter/arranger/husband. Waiting for years for Kent to play L.A. What great company!

What the hell is this?? It says "Phone," but you can't slip it into your pocket, and I couldn't Google anything on it. A little help?

Stephen Miller in 2024. Another Republican Tweet, aging like fine wine, turned to vinegar. Thank you for your service, Stevie. Can't wait for you to choke on your own bile, while facing upward, you ghoul.

Today (Feb. 18) is Linda's 4th birthday in absentia. Fortunately, she loved me so well when she was here, that I can still feel it. 3+ years after her departure, thoughts of her are more likely to bring a smile than tears. But man, what I would give to just hold her again.❤️❤️❤️ lovinglinda.bsky.social

ABIDE-ING MY TIME. Saturday's opening reception at Santa Barbara's Tamsen Gallery for the photo exhibit by my pal Jeff Bridges, who has been documenting behind-the-scenes moments on his film sets for decades, shooting panoramic images with his Widelux camera. Great night. Great exhibit. Great Dude!

28 years ago tonight, New Year's Eve, 1997/98, I had a lot to drink and asked Linda Bates to marry me. Apparently, she said yes, because in July of '98, we went through with it. Best decision I ever made. Christmas Day, 2022, she left this world. But the love remains undiminished. xo

Trump is not worthy of licking dog sh*t off the bottom of Rob Reiner’s shoes. Trump is “the worst of the worst” and I will celebrate the day he gets deported to hell.

I was so pleased to be an early guest of my friend Phil Rosenthal at the opening of his fantastic new L.A. diner, Max and Helen's on Larchmont. This is genuine Old School diner food. So good, you'll plotz. Phil was so hungry, he crashed my chocolate malted! Please, would somebody feed Phil??

In honor of today being the 103rd anniversary of the birth of my friend Kurt Vonnegut, I am posting this previously unpublished photo of the author in Cedar Falls, Iowa, taken by Vonnegut scholar and friend Jerry Klinkowitz in 1977. I love this photo.

I made way too many blueberry pancakes. I can’t possibly eat all these. Who wants to join me?

I don’t even LIKE crowds, but today I was happy to join my fellow Hamas-loving, radical left insurrectionist, Communist, America Hating, Soros-funded, violent terrorists on the streets of Studio City, CA.

Following exchange from Threads. I have to say, this guy's reasoning is so compelling and well thought-out, that I'm persuaded to change my mind. I think I'm going to go all-out MAGA. Thank you scottnhammer, for showing me the light! 💋

I just re-watched "It Happened One Night" on tcmtv.bsky.social‬. Just possibly a perfect movie. Who would have guessed that the "first" rom-com would remain one of the very best, setting the standard for everything that's followed for the next 90 years?

Some people think that if just one person had bought a painting from a young Adolf Hitler, history might have changed. I often wonder what would have happened if there were just one girl in high school or college who hadn’t rejected Stephen Miller.

They must be filming a silent movie comedy in the Studio City Von's parking lot.

In 1995, my friend Keith Gordon and I were in Montreal, filming our feature adaptation of the Vonnegut novel, "Mother Night," after five years of struggling to get financing. We blinked our eyes, and thirty years flew by. That's forty-two years of friendship, and counting.

Years ago, a friend tried to convince me to join her in Thailand. I said, "No, too many screaming monkeys and poisonous fruit. You go with your girlfriends and have a good time."

If L.A. is home, and NYC is home-away-from-home and London is home-away-from-home-away-from-home, then Paris is home-away-from-home-away-from-home-away-from-home. (2nd photo: Arpège for lunch.)

When I got on a Delta flight to NYC yesterday, I didn't know I'd be able to spend time with this good looking Babe. And yes, I'm sentimental enough that I paused an image on the monitor so I could look at her all through the flight.

(4/11) thoroughly knocked me out. I was 16, and still a dope, so I asked if he would sign my program. His demeanor was warm and welcoming and he happily obliged. After handing back the signed program, he asked, “So what did you think?” ...

THREAD: In the Spring of 1977, I found myself at the premiere of Woody Allen’s new film “Annie Hall,” which was the closing event that year for the L.A. International Film Exposition (Filmex). Nothing prepared the audience for the brilliance of this film. (1/11) ...

I've been waiting forever for one of my fave singers, Kat Edmonson to come to L.A., and on Tuesday night, she finally did. It was well worth the wait. She's on a big US tour now, so if she comes to your town, do yourself a favor and go! Tell her I sent you. Here's her dates: katedmonson.com/tour/

My 2021 film, "Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time," will finally be leaving Hulu on February 17. It's still available on most VOD platforms, but if you've been meaning to watch it on Hulu, don't delay. And let me know what you think!

When Americans do unimaginably horrible things, let us no longer say, "This is not who we are," because we now know, this is exactly who we are. This man did not seize power. He was elected. Shame on us. Shame on us.

(Thread) For anyone thinking talk of arson is conspiracy theory stuff, last night, a man was spotted on my block in Studio City, with a blow torch, trying to ignite brush next to a freeway overpass. When cars started to surround him, he fled. Same thing happened a few blocks away... (1/2)
