TRAIN DREAMS, directed by Clint Bentley and starring Joel Edgerton, is based on the novella by Denis Johnson.
It’s a beautiful film, and heartbreaking, one that’s going to stay with me for a long time.

I was stoked to get the chance to be on the @thedadlitpod and chat with Dan.
To merge the roles of a parent, writer, and reader is super cool, and Dan has a knack for finding interesting ways to discuss them.

I think it was Ray Bradbury who said, “Touch the manuscript every day.”
I believe in this, even if it’s only for 20 minutes. Stay in it.

The red sun rose over wide fields and long haul trucks navigated the road as I listened to Josh Brolin’s memoir on audio.
“Parents are the bones we (kids) cut our teeth on, but they never talk about the parents’ own teeth.”

When I was younger, I tried reading Blood Meridian twice but couldn’t get into it. I just started The Road, and I like it … I think. I am bound and determined to finish a book by CM!

Ferris and Miller discuss Miller’s style, as well as people and other art forms that inspired his work.
They even touch on Miller’s relationship with alcohol, and what role anger played and plays in his life.

Watched episode of 1 of TASK last night, an HBO show from Brad Ingelsby, the creator of MARE OF EASTDOWN.
It’s got the slow burn, great dialogue, down and out characters, and slickly filmed action I love.
Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelprey star.
