Waking up to: - U.S. Senator breaking the filibuster record. Good job, @booker.senate.gov - Even a billionaire oligarch can fail to buy a state Supreme Court win. Sorry, Elon. -The passing of a screen legend. Break on through to the other side, #ValKilmer

Theatrical verisimilitude doesn’t happen with fourth wall breaks, but it can be aided when the story is prescient and the production resonates. Break a leg, #GeorgeClooney and company of #GoodNightandGoodLuck. youtu.be/YoaLYLOps8I?...

#CrashCourseTheater is a terrific video series produced by #PBS. They’re quick-witted and around 7-10 minutes in length. Funny and insightful, host Mike Rignella (and his skull Yorick) takes you on a historical journey from the Greeks to Shakespeare to Broadway! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Ryan’s reaction at being told how much the next #Wrexham spend will be pretty much mirrors every grocery checkout experience I have. @vancityreynolds.bsky.social

Don’t forget to wear green today! #HapoySaintPatricksDay #MadMen

“Sorry Elon, but we didn’t do it.”

A towering dramatist. I read and saw several of his plays. He was an incredible voice for the human condition, and it's shameful that his passing falls under the shadow of Musk and Trump's praise of Apartheid. Fugard's work will continue to remain relevant. deadline.com/2025/03/atho...

I can’t think of a better example of “It’s midnight in 1977, and I’m in a discotheque somewhere in Western Europe, and the DJ has exhausted all the ABBA songs.” youtu.be/32wDFCM7iSI?...

“My attorneys will be in touch with you about the damage to the door. Otis, take the gentleman’s cape.”

Congrats to my old pal @marcasart.bsky.social for his amazing new single Flow (featuring Triptides). Give it a download and you can also listen to it here! youtu.be/qUxtFobE0Mc?...

Wow, #CobraKai was a blast in every whacky, nostalgic season. #RalphMacchio was the show's soul, and #WilliamZabka was its humor and heart turning in some hilarious and really dramatic work. Thanks for the ride and yes, Emmys - pay attention to this legacy sequel that exceeded all expectations.

I think 2015’s #SPECTRE was where things derailed and portended what’s to come. When they created an Austin Powers/Dr. Evil familial dynamic, it opened the door to irrelevant franchise mythology that will populate a world of diluting prequels and spinoffs which will rob 007 of his mystery.

It is a sad day for #JamesBond007. Blofeld and SPECTRE have won. deadline.com/2025/02/amaz...

For all you romantics, here’s one of my favorites. From 1983’s An Officer And A Gentleman, this duet has one of the best piano intros ever and should have gotten an Oscar nom, IMHO. youtu.be/kpYxZ-1PnlA?...

Watching the 2007 musical Hairspray, and I realized Selina Kyle was facing off with Max Shreck 15 years later. #BatmanReturns

Chat with child: “So the richest man in the world is cutting food and aid to the poorest people?” “Yes.” “Why? Doesn’t helping poor nations with starvation and disease help the world?” “I believe so, but apparently others disagree.” “Who thinks this is good?” “The Christians who voted for this.”

Producer Patrick makes an excellent point. If Trump’s trade war pushes the CAD even lower, it will be irresistible for TV/film producers not to shoot even more up in Canada. To remain competitive, states like CA, NY, OR, and GA MUST offer better tax incentives. www.instagram.com/reel/DFld5BA...

My good buddy Steve Silverman’s podcast “World Gone Good” celebrates its 200th episode! Congrats to Steve and his amazing guests for showing us the good out there to be heard and inspired by. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Anyone else wondering why strangers start following you here right out of the gate? I mean last I checked, I wasn’t famous. Dunno. Are these bots? People running programs that auto-follow new accounts hoping for follow-backs? Church of (insert name)? Recruiters for Squid Game contestants?
