If I were running for President, I'd run on a platform of "movies will begin after three previews and no commercials," and I would win in a 50 state landslide.

A lot of us have chased big dreams for a long time, and we all know a little help at the right moment makes or breaks you.
I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

BERNIE: “This senate is about to make a horrific situation even worse… health insurance premiums will double/triple/quadruple… some will pay 50% of their income… 15 million will lose insurance… 50,000 will die unnecessarily…”

These are belt buckles my Mom won when she was a rodeo queen in Nevada in 1960. All natural light shots.

I went to the ranch where I grew up and filmed with my Sony ZV E10ii. Some of these screenshots are really nice. Only a quick color correct on them.

AFF reader feedback arrived. The positives are strong ("excels at delivering a gripping survial story with high-stakes action and emotional depth") but the negatives, which contain spoilers so I won't share, knock two of my favorite things in the script, so 🤷🏻

I'm at Starbucks, and, in Starbucks tradition, there's an older dude talking a younger woman's ears off a seat away from me and boring her to tears. He's heavily invested in AI. He has opinions about DEXTER. Current topic: in future we will all be about to see each other's dreams.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

They are elephants in cement shoes and they pace back and forth like cracking my sanity is their $%#*@!ing job.

Are they running a marathon up there? Are they constantly on a tense phone call? Does one of them catch fire every night and the other is carrying bucket after bucket of water back and forth?? Just sit on the couch, please, and veg out like everyone else.

We should really have more movies where people dance.
if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck

Screenwriting opinion: Final draft has excessively narrow margins for dialogue and I think it's given me psychological problems. Anyone else suffering with this?

I pay $18 a month first vision insurance. My yearly checkup costs me an additional $54. If I want new glasses, it's a $250 extra. What exactly is my insurance for? It's like paying protection money to the mob, a gift to keep me from getting gifted even harder.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
