Two-time #Oscar winner, cinematic legend #GeneHackman was an honor & a sheer joy to direct in #Heartbreakers. Gene gleefully threw himself into this role. Absolutely perfect in just 1 or 2 takes. Endlessly grateful for that time together. He will be greatly missed by countless numbers of film fans.

#OTD #DeepSpaceHomer - The very first episode idea I had when I became #Showrunner of #TheSimpsons. Huge blast to write & direct my dear friend Former Pres
@jamestaylor-com.bsky.social. #NASA, for one, loved the ep & used it in their training. I even sent a DVD into space to the #ISS. Hail Ants!

#OTD #TheJoyOfSect! #TheSimpsons I came up with this idea back when people were still dumb enough to blindly follow blatantly obvious con-artist, liar criminals. This ep made sure no one would ever fall for that BS again. You're welcome. Loved "omaging" #ThePrisoner. (Still waiting for hover-bikes)

#OTD! #BartsComet #TheSimpsons This is my favorite scene from a favorite ep! Adding this helped me heal some childhood trauma caused by #TwilightZone ep #TheShelter. Fantastic script by J. Swartzwelder & one of best times I ever had directing our perfect cast. Laughing constantly. Can u find Waldo?

#HomerTheGreat! #OTD (Jan 8) So grateful for conspiracy AM radio & delirious-mind-state from working super-late running #TheSimpsons for inspiring me to come up with this story. Terrific script by John Swartzwelder & perfect ultra-fun-to-direct guest star/legend #SirPatrickStewart. An absolute fave.

#CarrieFisher was one of the most amazing, brilliant, hilarious, unique minds on the planet with the sweetest, kindest spirit. We were mind-melded together from the day we met. Nothing on earth was like spending time with her. I miss her every day and love her very much.

If you ever thought AI is scary, get ready to be exponentially more terrified. Alex Reisner (programmer):"I can now say with absolute confidence that many AI systems used by Apple, Meta, Nvidia have been trained on TV and film writers’ work including at least 616 episodes of #TheSimpsons. Run!

#TheSimpsons I wrote this in Season 5 based on my frequent childhood behavior of actually walking through peoples' hedges pretending I was dimension hopping (and doing great damage to the bushes in the process). Always knew it would become a famous meme. ow.ly/o4mL30njqJo
