You know you've made it when they're publishing Little Golden Books about you.

If they can arrest a prince, you can arrest a president.

Thou shalt arrest the Epstein criminals in the USA.

Git ‘r’ done.

The Lord has spoken. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Feel free to forward this to any snooty literary gatekeeper types you may know. Let's see if they're capable of laughing at themselves.

Errors mostly fixed! Will share this for real today.

Got mine today.

Scorsese's most underrated movie. It's like a PG-rated Taxi Driver.

The King of Comedy was as acid a condemnation of American aspiration as I've ever seen. Trump's cabinet is filled with Rupert Pupkins. They audition in their basements with makeshift Oval Office sets and emerge like Patels, Lutnicks, Noems, and Leavitts.

I will write MUPPET TAXI DRIVER for free.

(and if you live closer to the Beach neighbourhood... I'm doing a similar event at Coles, Queen Street East, on March 7. I'll keep you posted. Cheers.)

Hey #Toronto book lovers:

This Saturday, I'm going to be at Indigo (Bay/Bloor location), promoting, selling and signing my new novel, Performance Reviews!

I'll be there at noon and plan to stay until I either sell all my copies or get really bored. Please drop by and say hey.

YouTube video by Movieclips To Kill a Mockingbird (10/10) Movie CLIP - Scout Meets Boo Radley (1962) HD

Robert Duvall at thirty, virtually unrecognizable as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Check your e-mail. Cheers.

But did the heights wuther?

YouTube video by DuranDuranVEVO The Power Station - Some Like It Hot

Intermission at Some Like It Hot, and we still haven't heard this tune...

About ten minutes until Some Like It Hot.

Will I be able to handle the heat? We'll see.

Charade is a great choice if you're into Hitchcock -- it's very influenced by the Master.
BaT is marred by Mickey Rooney, but "Moon River" more than makes up for it.

Also, if I remember correctly, HtSaM has an early John Williams score.

A Texas man murdered his own daughter over Trump and Texas didn’t even charge him with a crime.

Intermission at Summer and Smoke.
So far, Summer's been spending a lot of time with her glass collection, while Smoke's just complaining about all the no-neck monsters.

(The lighting was low)

An excellent Valentine's Day movie, btw

Okay, I'll give Mirvish and the New York Times some credit:
They know how to use hyphens correctly.

I *should* be saying they should've written the blurb in a way that didn't require so many hyphens. But after working with "professional" writers who have no idea how hyphens work, this pleases me.

Hey #Toronto book lovers:

Seeing two plays this weekend:
Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke at Crow's Theatre today, and Mirvish's Some Like It Hot tomorrow.

Both by myself. (What, you didn't think I had social plans for Valentine's weekend, did you?)

I'm running out of stuff to watch on Crave.

But there's The White Lotus.
Is that as good as everybody says? Worth twenty-some hours of my time?
