Had a chance to see FORGOTTEN ISLAND. Please go and support this movie in theaters! It's an absolutely awesome animated film - one of the best original animated features in a long time. Amazing visuals, an eye-popping fantasy world ... but also SO much heart. Bonus: full of great 90's references!

Did my annual rewatch of "The Lion In Winter". Anyone who wants to be a #screenwriter should view this regularly. William Goldman (rightfully) is venerated for his Oscared "All The President's Men", but his brother James Goldman leaves him in the dirt with THIS staggering Oscar script. #scriptsky

I’ve been loving IMAGE’S Universal books. Especially excited for this one.

Check out my review of #ForgottenIsland, a fun animated family adventure that is a milestone for representation and a window into a fascinating cultural mythology. www.cbr.com/forgotte...

We dragged our broken bodies to see Forgotten Island and it was great, you should see it! I always want to push for authentic emotion and relationships, and this movie has it in spades. We need more movies with heart like this. Also I laughed out loud at some of the things that got approved in this.

This movie is so good it’ll find its audience, eventually. But fans of original animation really owe it to themselves to check this out in the theater.

It’s always an uphill climb for animated originals, and even moreso ones kneecapped by poor advertising. PLEASE go out and support this gem and help give it the legs to run! Great word of mouth works better than you think!

New STAR WAR movies weren’t even on the horizon, but Veitch carried the torch. Actually preferred his comics over the Zahn stuff.

I’ve seen two movies in a row that are set-ups for sequels we’ll probably not get. The Remo Williams curse is alive and real.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

I’m back from getting my first shingles vaccine. Here’s a short story. When my dad was dying from kidney cancer on his dying bed he told me that this is nothing compared to how he suffered from shingles. If you’re on Medicare I advise you to get your shingles vaccine before it’s not free next year.🔄
