I write stuff, and sometimes they pay me for it! Also, I wrote a sequel to E.T. Thankfully it never became a thing. imdb.me/nickr #WGAStong

Watching The Frighteners (1996). Totally under appreciated by critics. But it's a GREAT spooky season watch. #FilmSky The screenplay (Peter Jackson & Fran Walsh) reads a little different (3rd draft/1994). #PeterJackson

Oh boy! A good old fashioned impersonator. Following all women…ew.

Seriously, ladies. I will NOT slide into your DMs. Do not send “me” money or lewds. I’ve reported, but multiple reports can’t hurt.

And one song you can't stand.

Is it just me, or does Mike Johnson blush when he's lying?

Capped off my visit to Chicago with a stop at Chicagoland Games Dice Dojo which was very, very much my shit. Found a lot of small print games and picked up some Spider-Man MTG Collector’s packs to open on the plane. Thanks for the killer rec Chicagoans! That place rips!

In my early 20s, feeling empowered (cocky and arrogant) after I sold a spec, I wrote a sequel to E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (it sucked so bad). I had no idea that 10-years earlier, Spielberg and Melissa Mathison already had a treatment written for E.T. 2. #FilmSky

I think they have that chart upside down. It should have read: ICE assaults on US citizens are up sharply since June.

At what point did the citizenry of the USA raise their tolerance level?

On a *completely unrelated* note, I remembered something from American History class: press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/doc...
Right of Revolution: John Locke, Second Treatise, §§ 149, 155, 168, 207--10, 220--31, 240--43

Aw, man. Keaton was legit one of the greats. The people I know who worked with her all have nothing but incredibly glowing things to say about her. Worked right up to the end. A real loss.

This one still scares me. #TheDescent For writing microbudget indie horror films, it's masterclass. 🤘

Thirty original paintings by Bob Ross will be available for sale beginning next month through the auction house Bonhams, the artist's estate said. The proceeds will benefit public TV stations that have been grappling with funding cuts by the Trump administration.

No one will ever be held accountable for anything this administration is responsible for. Trump will issue a blanket pardon. That is, of course, *if* he respects the constitution and leaves office after his term is up.
