My pals at @vidiots.bsky.social created an interactive experience during the film breaking fakeout scene in their screening of Gremlins 2: The New Batch last weekend. It's even better than what I had hoped to do in 1990! 😁

Wife: Awww—

Daughter: I LOVE worms!

Wife: ah.

New episode of Big City Greens this morning! “Saxon Saxability” might be my favorite script I wrote for season 4. And man, the art, the music, the casting…. Everyone hit it out of the park. Watch on Disney Channel now (and Disney+ at some point in the future)

This one, a pitch that became Saxon Saxability, and a third idea that didn’t go anywhere

Animation timelines are wild. In January 2023, I interviewed for a staffing job on Big City Greens and pitched an idea called “Chocolate Santa.” Tomorrow, after working here for over two years, it’ll finally air on Disney+

So, check out my first episode… and the many more that will come after!

An excerpt from “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”: The King Crow flew at the Scarecrow, who caught it by the head and twisted its neck until it died. And then another crow flew at him, and the Scarecrow twisted its neck also. There were forty crows, and forty times the Scarecrow twisted a neck, until at last all were lying dead beside him.”

This moment from L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was immortalized in the movie with the Scarecrow’s beloved song, “If I Only Had A Psychopathic Ability To Kill Forty Crows With My Hands, One By One, By Breaking Their Necks”

An image and description from Wikipedia of the culinary abomination known as Altoona-style pizza: "Altoona-style pizza is a distinct type of pizza created in the city of Altoona, Pennsylvania, by the Altoona Hotel. The definitive characteristics of Altoona-style pizza are a Sicilian-style pizza dough, tomato sauce, sliced green bell pepper, salami, topped with American cheese and pizzas cut into squares instead of wedges."

Altoona desperately trying to be known for something other than its pizza

Lol. One week after the Economist published this chart showing the dude can't stop tweeting in the middle of the night, Elon removes time stamps from tweets.

An actor should embody their character truthfully. A bold character may take up more physical space, while a meek one will make little xylophone tinkles when they tiptoe

Acting tip: if you have a line like “what are you doing?” Or “where are you going?” pronounce the last word so it rhymes with “boing.” This is called “making a choice”

“Many?” Really?

MANY cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse?

Sir, I believe that you know precisely one. And we ALL know that one.

It’s stunning. On top of that, quite a choice to call them “the people I Thanksgiving with” instead of, say, “friends” or “family”

A comment on a cranberry sauce recipe reading, “I have a far more refined palette than the people I Thanksgiving with, so I’m forced to keep it simple lest it doesn’t get touched. I add some vanilla beans taken from one of my jars of extract and one slice of orange peel. A delicious happy medium, methinks. So simple!”

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, but especially to Heather F.’s family, who, if this comment on a cranberry sauce recipe is any indication, will be putting up with all kinds of bullshit today
