RIP Harris Yulin, another Always Great In Everything character actor. Scorsese told De Palma when he showed him SCARFACE "They're gonna hate you for this in Hollywood, because it's about them" and Yulin really oozed a certain type of venal showbiz exec as a dirty cop, didn't he? (he dies)

Movie night with the kiddo. Monday night was “Monster Monday” and we watched the original Wolf Man. Tonight we decided it was “Frightful Friday” so we watched this fun one. Totally forgot it was Bela Lugosi playing Frankenstein! Fun was had.

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Comment from a friend - “coworker traveled to NYC this week and upon her return, the US border guard asked her if she'd learned the US anthem yet in preparation for becoming the 51st State, and not in a joking way. America is cooked for us.”

If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.

This is a beautiful tribute.

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

All I knew was that his name was Jimmy Carter, he was running for president & we got the day off from school to take a photo with him. I did not know that he would win the presidency, or live such a grand and giving life after his term -- an even greater victory. Rest well, President Carter.
