Luigi Mangione just retained an attorney.

#TraceyUllman is brilliant in #BlackDoves on Netflix!

One of the best shows on TV!!! Sooooo good and Ben is at the top of his game. 👏🏽👏🏽 #BlackDoves

Loving all these new #Spy TV shows! There are at least 5 I know of and they’re ALL fantastic, but the most realistic one in terms of spy craft is #TheAgency with #BlackDoves coming in second.

LA —> NY cheers!

The #Landman pilot on #Paramountplus is fantastic. Perfect setup and introduction of characters with a tight script, and what a cast! 👏🏽👏🏽

This British detective show I’m watching has a great formula- 8 episodes, the A storyline wraps up in 2 one-hour episodes, like one buttoned up movie. Then of course a couple of stories that continue through all 8. I’d prefer 22 eps lol but 🤷🏽‍♂️

SCREENWRITER AXIOMS FOR PITCHING Relax, they want to you do well. Don't pitch every scene. Detailed Act 1, summarize Act 2, bring it all together in end. They'll sched an hour. Pitch is 25. Rest is preamble and Qs after. Memorize, read, riff... doesn't matter. Just be confident and passionate.

Feeling nostalgic on this gloomy day. This was the 1st “pass” on the 1st TV pilot I ever wrote. It meant so much to have a Hollywood icon like #JoelSchumacher take the time to send me a personal letter. It fueled me through many more “nos.”

Please support bookshops. Independent bookshops. They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more. But I think of it as paying for the experience. The experience of browsing. And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖 Fu** big corporations.

Netflix has changed their iconic LA billboard to “We All Bow To Mike Tyson”

Ok I’m glad I didn’t have to watch #MikeTyson go down.
