I found an old video I was hired to make back in the day, but was never aired because the movie studios decided they didn't like "irreverent" ads. I figure time has passed & no one cares.

"Hi, I'm Randal Kleiser and my filmography is fucking insane."

As an IMDb obsessive, allow me some petty nitpicking: I HATE the current functionality, where if a filmography has multiple jobs (say someone's been a Writer, Producer, and Stunt Butt) and you JUST want to see writing, clicking on "writer" ELIMINATES the writing credits rather than jumping to them.

What's the over-under for hack editorial cartoons showing George Wendt at the gates of heaven with Saint Peter yelling “NORM!”? Like, 50?

On the one hand, it's so simple a statement as to be essentially meaningless. On the other hand, it's rare that a bedtime goes by without me remembering my old high school friend Scott saying "It's sweet when your socks come off. Because then you know, it's really time to sleep."

"Doctor... Doom, you say? Sounds trustworthy. I have this cyst I'd love you to look at."

Get yourself someone who loves you like David Lynch loved lone women singing in front of curtains.

Here Is Everything That Has Changed Since Congestion Pricing Started in New York. Uniformly positive results clear from the data after just a few months. And millions raised for public transit. A scandal this didn’t happen sooner. [nytimes.com]
