Watching STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 3 (bought the 4K because I canceled Paramount+ after the Colbert thing). They just break canon all over the place, huh? I don’t mind it; I figure a reboot’s likely coming anyway. I imagine it’s pissed a lot of fans off though. Peck still best Spock since Nimoy.

What the fuck is Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas

Does that mean they strap her to the wing of Air Force One if it’s ever attacked or something

I saw the dry run of this in December, and JCM is engaging and friendly, and the set is amazing. You should go. Oh @crobertcargill.bsky.social will probably be there, so...

We need more Andrew Davis-type filmmakers today. He’s not the most stylish director, but he knows what works in the story, the acting, and the production to not only get it past the finish line, but craft a satisfying film.

Steven Spielberg called me a β€œvery good writer.”

Cool, THE BRIDE! opens this weekend. I've read enough (both positive and negative) to convince me to see it. It seems like it takes Big Swings, and we need more of that in our studio movies.

I like being old (except for the physical stuff). It’s exhausting trying to keep up with β€œit.” Enjoy what you want.

I had issues with Edgar Weight’s latest, but the 4K came out today and Barnes and Noble had it for 50% off. Can’t beat that.
