IF YOU ARE IN ONTARIO PLEASE VOTE TODAY! And please vote with the knowledge that Doug Ford has personally stolen your money, raised your rent, made services in your province objectively worse and directly threatened your child’s education. A failure by any metric! And he’ll win if you don’t vote.

The great Gene Hackman displaying the two poles of human emotion. RIP to one of the Greats

If you put on this score on when you sit down to write you will 100% get some pages done. That alone should have earned it an Oscar nomination. youtu.be/63k6AfvLsso?...

Second viewing of A Different Man last night. Fucking love this movie. Could have gone wrong in a million different ways, but nails its dark, funny, brilliant tone throughout. Scratches a very specific itch I haven’t felt since Being John Malkovich

Really enjoyed @lukehigginson.bsky.social 's Relax I'm From the Future clever, snappy writing, excellent cast, great editing.

I always liked David Lynch’s work, but it wasn’t until I started trying to make my own films that I understood how truly special he was.

This was a very fun and thoughtful interview until with about 3 minutes left I answer a question by saying I am ‘pro-history’ and that history is ‘important stuff’, which makes me sound like an absolute moron who has never read a history book.

I know that it’s true/Its gonna be a good year youtu.be/A59oNmjWDO4?...

Can confirm! What better way to ring in the new year than with someone who’s already been there??

Happy Holidays, everyone! ❤️

Merry Christmas from grimy, 1970s Toronto!! 🎄❄️🔥

Genuinely enjoy going on a miniature emotional rollercoaster every few days when I check for new @pt.letterboxd.social reviews of my film

If you have ever called a business to complain to the owner about an experience you had with a barber, a cashier, a service worker, etc…I would like you to take a real moment and consider the possibility that you’re a fucking asshole.

I’m being productive.

Everything my 3-year-old daughter watches is either a charming and delightful work of art or the most evil, soulless CGI abomination I’ve ever seen. To her, they are equally great. This is more difficult for me to accept than her desire to eat dirt.

Just watched The Straight Story for the first time (the only Lynch film I hadn’t seen) and I can’t stop thinking about this monologue. It’s hilarious and strange and sad and kind of profound? Sums up a very specific frustration with being alive today. youtu.be/cCsqyOaPsP4?...

I was detained by cops at 2 of Tyler’s warehouse parties while cooler and/or faster teens escaped into the night both times. Worth it!

the devil got me (i rewatched relax i’m from the future)

One of my favourite things is people talking unpretentiously about their passionate love for art that is often written off as pretentious or overly academic. Kendrick’s got great taste! youtu.be/CuZo__82POU?...

How it feels hanging out with my 3-year-old today after going out for birthday drinks last night.

Officially joining and attempting to post regularly on another new social media platform! Perhaps THIS will be the good one!

Hey, @lukehigginson.bsky.social (director of the excellent RELAX, I'M FROM THE FUTURE which you should go watch right now) just got here and it's his BIRTHDAY!
