Fans of THE LOST BUS with Matthew McConaughey should definitely check out the harrowing documentary FIRE IN PARADISE on Netflix. Captures the first hours of the Camp Fire as it bears down on the town. Unforgettable.

at first glance I thought Ed Gein was being played by Fred Armisen, and I thought well, that's bravely going against any and all type

Smells good in here

If you go see GOOD BOY, stay after the 45-second end credits for a short piece on how they made the film. The director emphasizes that Indy had no idea he was in a movie, and they just had to shoot hundreds of hours of footage for almost 3 years to get each shot. Kinda like working with Jared Leto.

I saw someone's post somewhere that talked about how their
nine-year-old and all his friends have started using "That's AI"
instead of "I don't believe you."

Mom: "We're having dinosaur meat for dinner tonight."
Kid: "That's AI."

Had to put down a bestselling thriller from an author who couldn’t help interjecting all the “serial killer facts” she’d uncovered as if they haven’t been common knowledge for decades. Perfect antidote? Abbi Waxman’s ONE DEATH AT A TIME, a fun Hollywood mystery centered around a cranky duo. A+

Older novels by men always have lines like “She was almost beautiful but for her unusually large forehead” or “She was 28 yet still attractive”

that is a lot of extended car warranties

Loved watching Colin Farrell disappear into Oswald Cobb in THE PENGUIN. If you didn’t know it was him, you’d never know it was him. Cristin Milloti is deliciously unhinged. Good fun, and without a costumed superhero in sight.

My dad who’s never really touched alcohol in his life has really started enjoying booze the last year or so. Tonight at his 80th told me ‘in my senior years I’d like to become a drunk and a writer.’
