When I stopped being a studio executive 4 years ago, I felt further away than ever from being the director I had briefly been in my youth. Tired of waiting, I willed this into existence. Not sure we have 15 years left but never waiting 15 years again. deadline.com/2025/10/a-fres…

Israel massacred six medics in Lebanon today, but Western media didn't cover it because they are too busy trying to manufacture consent for an illegal US invasion of Cuba.

Trump on the spoils of war: "We've taken out so much oil in Venezuela, we've paid for the cost of the war about 25 times over" - At least he is more honest than European leaders, who still refer to "democracy" to legitimise the attack.

@joshuarolson @willmenaker Indeed.

@BrandonMH @willmenaker Good idea! Because of the deal he made for the movie?

@willmenaker Spoke to two leftie black millennials who love movies two days ago, and neither had seen it. Insane. One of the best movies of the 90s, and the argument for Fishburne being one of our very greatest actors. Should have come out of this a massive star.

@joshuarolson @willmenaker Yeah, the Himes estate is working with us on the entire Coffin Ed and Gravedigger corpus but, alas, there are some rights issues due to Cotton specifically.

@BrandonMH @willmenaker Are you aiming to do the other books, too?

@Willie700WLW Uh, no Bill, and you shouldn't either.

Signs indicate Military Ops over Iran to resume soon.. POTUS in DC over a long holiday weekend.. skips son’s wedding..Markets closed till Tuesday.. Air space closed over the Middle East..Peace talks drag on with no resolution..Do you support resumption of military Ops over Iran.?

@joshuarolson @willmenaker 13 months into negotiations on the remake mini-series and with any luck it'll be a ton of fun again.

@BrandonMH @willmenaker 💯 A Rage In Harlem is a ton of fun, too.

@RealJamesWoods No; in the context of this country, it is obviously the outwardly facing ignorance and destructiveness of pallids like yourself.

The worst kind of racism is the self-loathing of the white liberal. It’s divisive, it’s patently fake, like every “value” they espouse, and finally it’s as dangerous as the hatred it pretends to disavow. Short version: James Talarico is a left-wing nut job.

@jasonwhitlock @TheRealCoach_JB Just like one more donut could put you in stomach bust territory.

There’s something off about Joe Burrow. His quirky personality, along with all of this stuff about his pansexual girlfriend, rubs me the wrong way. @TheRealCoach_JB thinks another injury-riddled season could put him in bust territory.

I wrote about the media habit of trying to understand the rightward shifts at CBS and Washington Post in terms of market demand, or chasing “clicks” or “viewers” when it’s clear organic demand is largely incidental to what is very obviously billionaire ideological projects.

I’m a populist about many things, but I truly believe that unrepentant snobbery is the only way forward now in the arts.

Dale Earnhardt was the most redneck redneck to ever redneck and he took the confederate flag off his car because his Black housekeeper said she didn’t want to see it. It’s really not that hard to not be an asshole.

@ClayTravis Huh

I think there’s a deep nostalgia and desperate craving for America is awesome movies, commercials and shows. It’s why I’ve been begging for a badass Lewis & Clark show for a decade now. Would immediately become the number one show in the country.

When critics pointed out black-and-white factual errors from the beginning to the end of the NYT’s “Screams Without Words,” one of the most consequential fabrications in the paper’s history, used to justify a genocide, the paper steadfastly refused to address them. Only when video evidence emerged directly contradicting part of it did they offer a soft “update” to the piece. Note how differently critics of the Kristof piece are treated. Where the original article did not interview a single victim, Kristof spoke to 14, all corroborated in other ways too. The critics do not challenge a single fact, instead they argue that the behavior described is simply impossible, or dogs would never do that, and all the witnesses and victims are biased against Israel and should not be listened to. Not a single honest criticism of what he has reported has been presented that contradicts the facts he laid out. Yet those critics — who hysterically impugn his character and even in many cases suggest he should be executed — get a polite and respectful reply from the Times. (And in their reply they double down on their old Screams piece, stridently and without evidence.)

Alright. Rickey Henderson is at third base. One out. Tie game. Bottom of the 9th. You’re the fielding team. DEEP fly ball to right field. Who do you want as your right fielder?

I don't know how "underseen" this one is, but it's a film I will consistently champion

This week, the @NAACP came out and said negroes shouldn't play🏈 or 🏀 at SEC schools until (?)... the recently gutted VRA & the majority black congressional districts it engendered are restored. But what is it actually doing to organize said boycott? Inquiring minds wanna know!

🚨🇿🇦 The richest man on earth. Born in South Africa. His name is on nothing there. Not one hospital. Not one trust. Not one shelter. Not one library. Not one scholarship. Not one clinic. Not one housing project. He could fund any of it. He has chosen none of it. Instead he sells the world a story of white victimhood, while millions of black South Africans still live in the conditions built for them by white supremacy.

Contender for the single dumbest retweet I have read during the many years of my life that I've wasted on doomscrolling.
