That’s a great one!

As much as I’m a Batman guy, Jaffee’s Superman cover is great!

Retired animation artist Robert Alvarez on the future of Cartoon Network:

“Scooby-Doo is like a vampire. You can’t kill it.”

Thanks!

A pilot I wrote got into the hands of an actress with several major features and TV series under her belt… and she not only said she enjoyed it but called it “excellent”… which is all very validating and kinda makes me hopeful this might lead somewhere… 🤞🤞

I remember that day at Frank’s place!

“Of all films, home movies are the closest to our hearts, the most charismatic, the most fascinating—and they are in the greatest jeopardy.” Rick Prelinger Archivist & filmmaker

Home movies aren’t just personal memories—they’re historical records, capturing everyday life in ways Hollywood never could. But these fragile films are at risk of being lost forever.

I really wish I could go back in time and get more Pup stuff from Great America… because I feel like they were the one place that had a lot.

So sad to hear of the passing of Jerry Eisenberg 😥 A legend in the animation industry. We were honored to get to speak to him on the Scooby Panel. He will be missed.

The text in the image is what Jerry said when I asked why he loved #ScoobyDoo.

Happy 93rd Birthday to John Williams 🎂🐐

‘Back to the Future’ writer Bob Gale says they’ll never make a fourth film

“People always say, ‘When are you guys going to do a Back to the Future 4?’ And we say, ‘Fuck you’ … And you can quote me on this”

And yes, I know he appeared in an episode of the series, but he was only in his 30s/40s in the films that had come out by that point… and as someone nearing their mid-30s, it feels a bit harsh to suggest he wasn’t young in those too!

Obviously not a top priority but, since Harrison Ford is out promoting the latest Marvel movie anyway, I hope somebody asks how insulted he was they named the series “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles”, implying he was “Old” Indiana Jones.

The visionary David Lynch is gone. There are no words. Rest in peace to an absolute original.

Glad you’re upgrading! I’ve never understood why stacked discs became an option… I mean, I know it was likely an executive cost-cutting thing, but still…

I was the nerd in high school with a CD of all the hoedown and greatest hits bits that I compiled and burned myself 😅

hahaha thanks 😅

Exhausted… but survived all Christmas activities.

Please clap.

Have found it near impossible to get in the “holiday spirit” this year — although that hasn’t stopped me from eagerly plotting out a Christmas movie that I’m dying to write…

Bringing it to 🦋 by request:

People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

Despise re-reading my posts because almost always my reaction is “That could’ve been said with less words.”
