When faced with reckoning and crisis, do we obey, rebel or redeem? deadline.com/2026/04/roger-…

@froggowitsch We’re watching two episodes of Enterprise every night in my house lately!

@AVARY Maybe two episodes of Enterprise (going through the series with my gf).

What are your Saturday night movie recommendations? I’m considering The Wizard of the Kremlin with Paul Dano, or maybe The Punisher with John Bernthal. What are you queuing up?

@JeffroP 💯

@AVARY New in the mail

It's not every day you get to put a quote from a master on your movie poster. The Rules of Attraction and Pulp Fiction were between them 99% of the reason I went to film school. (The other 1% was I wanted to get the f outta my hometown.) I'll be vlogging about all of this later tonight...

@BollFILMS I’m on it.

@AVARY Maybe you still have a contact to Joe Rogan. I would love to be on his podcast

“You’re not a pussy” is going on my tombstone. Thanks, Uwe!

And now filmmakers have to defend their artisanal, organic, hand-made [squints, checks notes] CGI against accusations of AI.

Robert Gaudette has made one of the best generative short films I’ve yet seen, and also makes the best case for the use of this new cinema technology. A brilliant filmmaker.

@Diesol Beautiful lighting. Also, check out Costa Verde from the @runwayml AI film festival. 💯

One of my favorite new AI short films.

CNN claims most Americans plan to visit Obama's Presidential Center. 🤔 Is that true? ❓❓ Do you plan on visiting? ❓❓❓

@Appylon Pyun was a Palos Verdes guy!

@AVARY Tubi's got a big collection of Pyun I've been slowly getting through. Everything he did from 1980 - 1995ish has looked really really great. Alien from LA, Dollman, Cyborg, Nemesis!

@manofGod8888 It’s in my stack!

@AVARY Hokum was fuggin legit. McCarthy out of Ireland is the truth man.

@VanWinkle2112 I still need to watch (from my stack) Succession, Severance, and The Bear. But I’ll get to Andor.

@AVARY Neither. Start up Andor. I’m on such a high from watching it the last week. It’s wonderful. I plan to do an entire series rewatch soon too. Tony Gilroy and the crew behind this show absolutely nailed it

@stuffed It’s impossible to pick wrong!

@AVARY A Boetticher. Gonna let Dad pick which one.

@Derrick_NOLA Maybe go with “Latrine Hole Beach.”

I'm going to start calling this "Sleeping Bag Beach." Another Saturday sunrise in Santa Monica

@thestustustudio Can never go wrong with Raiders.

@BlowhardEsq Great choice!

@AVARY I'm watching this before it leaves Prime. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Cruz…

@thispersona @RMBee

@AVARY @RMBee Forgive me for resorting to the kind of crackpottery you yourself are prone to, Roger, but everything now sounds like you're kissing the belly of some covert overlord as opposed to accurately describing a state of affairs. Desperately shilling for cybernetic barons.

Further proof that the Hollywood Entertainment Factory is alive and well in 2026 is Antoine Fuqua’s biopic Michael, that despite being a puff piece is an entertaining and moving musical experience that had me, and anyone else who loved Michael Jackson, choked up and grieving the loss of his light all over again. Not an easy movie to pull off, and Jaafar Jackson bravely fills the shoes. A Hollywood that puts this film into theaters, and has audiences leaving happy, isn’t dead. Sorry.

@HighSierraMan I love Redlands. Beautiful houses there. I shot Rules of Attraction there.
