Interview: Kevin Tighe on ‘One Battle After Another’ and a great career on stage and screen The great character actor talks about his return to the screen in 'One Battle After Another' and a half-century journey in the business.

If you’re like me, you sat up on your chair when S-tier character actor Kevin Tighe turned up in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. I had a wonderful conversation with him about it for The Reveal: thereveal.film/interview-ke...

This is Dumbo, Mela, Peaches, and Chiquis. They are a championship napping team. Their built-in sleep masks give them that competitive edge. 13/10 for all (TT: brokeboilopez)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Shap and Tiffin: What does this all mean for Jason Robertson's next contract? Sean and I have thoughts about things

Teamed up with some guy named Sean Shapiro to talk about Jason Robertson, both the human and the hockey player, and how the new NHL contract landscape makes his next contract more challenging than ever to predict

This and the prior piece (with the Bastian quotes) are excellent complements to the numbers-driven previews so many of us are deep into right now. Excellent and timely pieces.

That had better be to get the two youngsters time at center or I will begin throwing things.

Curious the smallest amount of time that passed between his time on stage in this production and shooting scenes for the cinematic classic Men At Work which was approximately March 1989.

"Computers man, they never learn."
Intentional or not, this is the truth of the moment.

Cowboy Junkies.
One-hit Wonder band Len was always noted for the brother/sister thing.
Most famous one is probably the White Stripes. 👀

I swear there was a rash of semi-popular family bands that crossed over from other genres in the late 80s, early 90s.

Break free of this idea that you need to prep for movies and just go see it. Be excited to see it. Let it be its own experience.

We're going to gloss right over the jorts?

That way of talking cuts both ways to me. Sometimes a legitimate shorthand that helps the conversation. More often an obscuring force that limits the ability to compare players and to let new fans in the door. 4% more goals than expected might not scream MICAH but it is clear and useful.

He played almost 50 defensive snaps in a game against Pats last year so not sure how his name didn't log in my brain. UDFA carving out a spot for himself. Now I know.
