@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social November 10th is the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Might the newsletter commemorate it in an interesting way? Perhaps a mention of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee?

@wychstreet.bsky.social Rebecca Miller's 'Mr. Scorsese' on Apple TV is much watch for cinephiles. There's a Day-Lewis comment that I can't stop thinking about. "Marty is a sensualist who works like a coal miner." Also, Roger Ebert's name pops up almost every episode. Scorsese really respected him.

@wychstreet.bsky.social I thought of you recently. The actor Tom Pelphrey is promoting his HBO show. He was discussing the tendency for TV directors to encourage improvisation. He said he was raised in theatre. He said "shit, you don't change a comma much less go off on a riff."

@wychstreet.bsky.social Scott Frank was on Maron’s pod. He dishes particularly about the process/degrees of script doctoring and rewriting. Fascinating. Also, of the modern screenwriting masters there doesn’t seem to be one who doesn’t count William Goldman as a mentor. He was a generous soul.

@cchinoregon.bsky.social @wychstreet.bsky.social The Conan receiving the Mark Twain Award show on Netflix is really superb. Beautifully produced. A honorific to the art of comedy. Brilliantly funny guests. There may not be a more beloved figure in comedy and entertainment than Conan.

@wychstreet.bsky.social Heard a veteran TV writer talking about living in Brooklyn 15 years ago. There was a place in his neighborhood that he dubbed the character actor bar. He said the pinnacle was seeing Steve Buscemi, Corey Stoller and Noah Emmerich at a corner table drinking pints of Guinness.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, the pain in order to gain narrative isn’t a coherent political message. What’s going to happen when grandmas start missing their Social Security checks and there’s no one to answer the help line?

@wychstreet.bsky.social I am compelled to seek your counsel. Saw a screening of the first Indiana Jones film. Ford is a movie star. Spielberg is at the peak of his confidence. I know Lucas and Kaufman created it but, goddamnit the Kasdan script is perfect. In rewatching it’s so efficient.
