What 90s movie do you consider to be perfect?

@revtizzy Cardinals fans right now...

Always impressive to sweep the Redbirds in the Lou. #ForTheA

@TheAlanNoble @martynwendell I found it so terrible that just making it to the credits felt like an act of heroism. I wanted to ram one of those thumpers into my own head about halfway through.

Cubs are undefeated so far this season and a game above the Cardinals. All is right in the world.

After rewatching The Shadowlands last night, I’ve adjusted my Top-10 movie list. Looking over the top-5, it’s interesting that every one of these films is existentially fraught and deals with death. 1.Interstellar 2.Children of Men 3.Tender Mercies 4.The Shadowlands 5.Signs

@joeljmiller So good!

Waiting for a storm to blow over Middle Tennessee and watching The Shadowlands. First time seeing it in at least 15, maybe 20, years. Beautiful movie.

New at Busch Stadium this season 🐔 🍩

@jrharbison24 @malContentsPod @AaronStrongarm @Joe_the_Waller Hmm… Honest answer…an Encyclopedia. But… Probably something fun like The Martian. Tough question!

Guys, I’m writing a paper about C. S. Lewis.

@revtizzy Soon to be a movie, too.

Book 11 for 2023. Finished this last weekend. Great (his)story extremely well told.

@ronniejmartin @BethMooreLPM It is a brilliant memoir. I've loved it.

Eleven pages in to @BethMooreLPM memoir and I already know I’m gonna read it too fast. But that’s the mark of writing filled with a bounty of goodness, humor, and heartache.

@Deb_Wa @AaronStrongarm @BethMooreLPM Both are tremendous books!

I put some books in my shopping cart (new books from @AaronStrongarm & @BethMooreLPM) but haven't purchased yet because my memory is failing me. There was another book the other day I thought "I need to buy that for my son" and now I can't remember what it was!

I took Ainsley on a book acquisition trip to our local bookstore today. It is always a joy. While we were looking for new books, we witnessed a young father reading aloud to his son one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Real men are out there, folks. No wimps read to their kids.

On a Scale of 1-10 1 = HORRIBLE 10 = PERFECT What Would You Rate the 1987 Movie “Predator?” #Predator #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #CarlWeathers #KevinPeterHall #SonnyLandham #ElpidiaCarrilo #ShaneBlack #BillDuke #JesseVentura

The joy of leadership comes from seeing others achieve more than they thought they were capable of.

@pauljpastor @HarperCollins @Zondervan Would love to see you when you are able to visit Nashville. You'll love working for Webb.

@pauljpastor @HarperCollins @Zondervan Paul, congrats!

Some professional news! I am excited to announce that I am joining @HarperCollins as Senior Acquisitions Editor for @Zondervan. I am thrilled for this new adventure, and look forward to continuing my general commitment to making keen, well-crafted books and serving authors.

Egg nog is good.

Friday question. What is your favorite Will Ferrell cameo (or small role)? While a close one for me...you can't keep "Big Earl" down from Starsky & Hutch.
