@GinaIppy At least they have made remote controls easier to figure out.

Streaming broke a system that already worked, all because tech bros crave newer things, even if that means society, economy, and humanity be damned.

@DecodingFoxNews @atrupar She said well read, but she meant well orange.

He talks about Fox News all day long. What is he reading?

@DecodingFoxNews @atrupar Is there a novelization of Fox News?

@Acyn "I mean what Biden and Obama did trying to make Trump accountable for some of the many, many crimes he's committed, he doesn't feel like he should be accountable to anyone for being a criminal, you understand there's a lot of anger about that?"

Watters: The president reportedly frustrated that the cases against Tish and Schiff and Brennan and Comey aren't going anywhere. Are you the guy that's going to be able to get that done? Blanche: I appreciate the frustration because we do have to make sure that what happened for four years never happens again, and we don't talk about investigations but I can tell you that the DOJ is working hard every day. Watters: You get the anger. I mean what Biden and Obama did to this president, you understand there's a lot of anger about that? Blanche: Not only do I understand, I lived it.

@waronweakness I’m writing a book, called “Words And Sentences of Average Length.” I use long, and short, of both. I am being paid by the punctuation, Mark.

Writing gurus : "Write short sentences and don't use big words" Charles Dickens in the first sentence of Oliver Twist: "Among other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse; and in this workhouse was born - on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events - the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter.

@atrupar That’s definitely his reputation.

Leavitt: "You always want to be the most well-read person in the room, and I try to be every day. But Donald Trump always is."

@LukeBarnett Lotta people watching/rewatcing The Wire/Mad Men/Breaking Bad/BCS right now. Patriot is on that level.

This is the Steve Conrad effect. Consistently making the best, most original, most under watched shows on television. If you haven’t seen Patriot on Amazon, remedy that asap.

@JimmyTraina So great.

Anybody watching “DTF St. Louis” on HBO? Just watched the latest episode. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone tweet about it. It’s so weird and dark and stupid and slow and brilliantly acted and beautifully shot and completely captivating.

@TomScibelli Really enjoying DTF St L, and everybody is correct about Patriot (except those who are wrong). Gotta go find that other show.

People are not talking nearly enough about DTF St. Louis. What a show

@TheCinesthetic So fun.

Anyone who liked Antony Starr as Homelander needs to watch Banshee (2013–2016). Pure pulp action, wild storytelling, and Starr at his rawest. Underrated.

@danielle819 @TheCharlesDowns Those are clearly hand-lettered.

@TheCharlesDowns So preprinted signs are a problem?

No Kings “protesters” on Capitol Hill lost it when I exposed that they were handing out pre-printed signs. When I asked why they never have organic signs, they started calling me a “pedophile protector.” The anti-Trump movement is completely deranged.

@RYP__ Every accusation is a confession.

Don’t ever go full stupid.

@marcorandazza @jimmykimmel Hey. My plumber was a plumber. And is.

My father fixed air, conditioners and refrigerators for a living. Do you know who the fuck I ran all of my briefs and Legal arguments by before he died? Every move I made in life, I asked for his advice. @jimmykimmel - choke on a bag of rotten working class dicks.

@TorvaldTiger @kneerecon No he was good coach at Penn State.

@kneerecon wasn't joe paterno famous for wearing black nikes?

1 The obedience of Trump’s cabinet to his whims has reached a new level. No longer are their monthly nauseating, press-covered , homages for the privilege of serving his holiness sufficient. Now he’s asked them to wear Florsheim black shoes like he wears. Not kidding. This is

Any chance I could get a few long, pointless, melodramatic stories in my feed written by AI in, say, Portuguese, then translated into English by AI? That would take up space.

When will the Alien Squid attack?

@KBAndersen wtf

All part of the leader’s plan.

@1963Canuck @Notwokenow @HBO @ICEgov They didn’t go far enough. Great episode though.

Hey @HBO, FUCK YOU. SHAME ON YOU for demonizing the brave men and women of @ICEgov. I am thoroughly disgusted. And am cancelling my subscription NOW. Boycott HBO!!!

@storyandplot Sorry for your loss, Tom. Glad you got to know him.

My friend Jamie Blanks passed away. Jamie and I met in the late 90s. Producer Don Murphy introduced us. Jamie had just missed the directing gig for I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, and I had written a crazy $200 million werewolf movie that no one was ever going to make. He was in town from Australia, and we met at Birds in Hollywood over a lot of beers. He was effusive about my script. I had dreams of a long writer-director partnership. I would later learn Jamie was effusive about everything horror! All of it sincere. He had a well of enthusiasm that was absolutely contagious. Months later, he called me out of the blue and said he was coming back to the States. He just got hired to direct URBAN LEGEND. He introduced me to young Hollywood. We would marvel at how just following Tara Reid, who was cast in the film, would get us into any place in town. One night at Atlantic on Melrose, I was introduced to a slew of extremely attractive actors who were all going to Austin the next day to film a movie. My own urban legend is that this was the cast of VARSITY BLUES. All these young actors hung out together and knew each other. They all partied together, and I felt special to be around them. We were young, silly, and we all felt like we were on top of the world. I was insecure and wanted to be accepted by the cool crowd, but Jamie quickly grew out of it. His heart was with Simone and his home country. I remember at a party once, I pointed out to him, "Neve Campbell is here!" and Jamie shrugged, "I'm over it." Jamie and I lost touch sometime after VALENTINE. I moved back to Texas to get sober, and he and Simone moved back to Australia. They didn’t want to raise their son in the States. We reconnected about 18 years later here on Twitter! It was like no time had passed at all. Within months, we were talking about finally making a movie together. I tried to get Jamie on a project of mine that was looking for a director. It had been years since Jamie had made a film, and in true Hollywood fashion, that made the producers nervous. Why didn’t anyone else want to hire him? I told Jamie that he needed to explain this gap. He did. And it says all you need to know about Jamie. He explained that his dad was away from home often when he was growing up, and it affected their relationship. He didn’t like how directing would take him away from Simone and his son Oliver for months on end so he stopped doing it. Jamie was a very talented editor and composer and never had trouble getting work in that area. But now that Oliver was grown and off to college, it was time to direct again. Just like back in the day, Jamie had his priorities straight. Jamie didn’t get the gig, but we were both determined to finally do what we set out to do in 1997. We were going to get SOMETHING going together. Around this time, Jamie had developed an online friendship with my brother Lance. This didn’t surprise me at all as Lance is perhaps the finest observer of horror I know. Of course, they would get a kick out of each other! What killed me is that Jamie didn’t know we were brothers! His absolute joy in discovering this was such a treat. Jamie loved horror, he loved surprises and he loved life. For the last two years, Jamie and I have been working together to get this project going. I was writing and producing, he was directing. We were finally getting some movement on it last year when Jamie had some health issues that put everything on pause. The other (bigger) producer wondered if we should move on. I said nope. We are waiting for Jamie. We’ve waited 27 years to make a movie together; we can wait another year. I found out this morning that will never happen. My brother Lance texted me the news. I am devastated. I will never hear Jamie call me “brother” again in that accent of his. I will never get another overly long email signed off with “big hugs” again. We will never make that movie together. His loss will leave a huge gap of love and enthusiasm for all of us who knew him. But as much as Jamie loved horror and movies, he loved his family so much more. I am just so sorry for Simone and Oliver. Jamie was way too young. The loss they will feel will never go away. Goodbye, brother. Big hugs.

@peckinpah_s @zaaaarbi George! (Jack wrote The Eagle Has Landed, also ended up a great flick)

@zaaaarbi Great book too. Jack V. Higgins wrote some of the best dialogue of all time.

One of the best things that can happen to someone who loves movies is when you randomly put on a flick you never even heard about until yesterday without expecting much and it turns out to be incredible. My ★★★★½ review of The Friends of Eddie Coyle boxd.it/dzvcFr
