Pitching a new Netflix miniseries about an esteemed older actress signing on to a cancelled showrunner’s comeback project, it’s called WIEST OF WHEDON

Personal least favorite young people vocal tic is the use of the word “lowkey” as filler mean literally anything or nothing.

Technically her first movie was PAPER MOON, but she was just a little blob then. This was the first time she’s actively chosen to watch an entire movie in one sitting.

Big day in the Doofus household. My daughter watched an entire movie—RATATOUILLE—and even asked to watch more after

I had tentatively pegged STEAMBOAT BILL JR as the first movie to watch with my new son, and this happens to release two days before his scheduled C-section. A sign if I’ve ever seen one.

The fact that something written and rewritten in dribs and drabs over multiple years during baby naps and Sundays somehow came out feeling coherent is a small miracle.

Committee member told me she read drafts of all of my chapters—much to my surprise—and used perhaps the most gratifying word to describe it: “whole”

It's really just Cotillard for me. Everyone else brings it, I love Hardy and Hathaway. The narrative is a bit messy, but man, it's such an epic work

You'd think it would have been the Dylan movie, but then that actually turned out kind of interesting, so no chance

DARK KNIGHT RISES is *much* better made, imo. You can tell Nolan was still learning the ropes of the blockbuster scale with BB, imo.

Finally finished my long list of 12 job applications, with hopefully a few more to come down the line. Now comes the excruciating process of waiting to hear back from hiring committees.

It also brings me no pleasure to report that Cruise is way over his skis here. Between him and AGI, you have two creative forces who fundamentally do not understand satire and are feeding off each other in the most self-destructive ways.

with all respect: i'm losing touch with what AI does because i have no interest in it and it's not my business. nobody worries about me losing touch with developments in particle physics or artificial bull insemination. it's not my fault the richest guys on earth want me to make their toy my life

Not including OBAA, their Best Picture winner from last year, is a telling omission.

In hindsight, Netflix sending out an email to ALL of their subscribers announcing they were buying WB has gotta be one of the funniest corporate self-owns of all time.

It seems meaningful that WB's last movie as a discrete studio entity is a massive auteur folly. Some years down the line, film historians may regard it similarly to HEAVEN'S GATE, a failure that embodies the kinds of films that will no longer be made.

After the tepid response to FINAL RECKONING and the impending flop of DIGGER, it will be interesting to see where Cruise goes next. DAYS OF THUNDER 2 seems like a retreat and a Hail Mary, and if that doesn’t hit, we may be in a full blown Cruise recession.
