Lalo Schifrin was a legendary composer who leaves a huge legacy & treasure trove of a music catalog behind. In addition to his timeless main theme for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, my favorite piece of his is the funkadelic scuzz on MAGNUM FORCE’s main theme. #RIPLaloSchifrin

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

I grew up on military bases. Military service members (because they are in service to the United States) must go where they are deployed by the military, which is part of the US government. They do not choose where they are sent to serve. Revoking their childrens' citizenship like this is grotesque.

Welcome! Pierre accidentally hypnotized himself into believing he’s a French mime, so his persona is kind of based on his own preconceived (and very un-educated) notions. In his normal state, he’d probably creep himself out more than anyone else.

NIAGRA, NIAGRA. A fine film about two people who go to Niagra Falls to commit suicide. Maybe not the best 1st date movie. Then again, we have been married for 23 years, so …

UNTOLD JAWS FACT: The shark wasn’t supposed to eat anyone. It had food poisoning. To get the shot done quickly, it just gobbled up the Kitner kid. Impressed, Spielberg ran with this. Film history was made.

28 YEARS LATER is wild, somewhat unexpected movie, that reframes a classic story structure into something much more... well-observed? Thematically poignant? The more I think about it, the more I love it. www.patreon.com/posts/131953...

If your job is at all creative I implore you not to take out your phone when your restaurant date goes to the restroom, or you're waiting for an elevator, or you're riding on the subway, etc., etc. Let yourself be bored. Boredom is important. Boredom fuels creativity. I remind myself of this daily.

Oh boy this is gonna require a 🧵 Let's start with the fact that the X-Men metaphor/allegory is appealing lore that opens for many story concepts but NOT the reason the X-Men became popular and too many creators and fans put way too much stock into it carrying the entire franchise.
