Nothing makes me happier than an epic character introduction in a movie. Michael Keaton’s entrance as Bill Blazejowski in Ron Howard’s ‘Night Shift’ remains one for the ages.
Why is it not a bigger pop culture discussion point that Ted Danson & Leslie Nielsen starred together in one of the Creepshow horror sketches?
Wardrobe Polaroid of John Leguizamo I took for the ‘94 pilot of House of Buggin’. I might be biased, but he was the best part of the Odyssey, IMO.
Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.
My one experience as a background extra was in a scene with #samneill and Meryl Streep in “A Cry in the Dark”. Sam was lovely and thanked all of us chilly teenagers for our patience during a cold long night in Central Australia.
Enjoyable night in Rhinebeck tonight at Upstate Films, w Griffin Dunne interviewing Paul Rudd after a screening of #powerballad :)

The PM of that show became the PM of a series in NYC after the cancellation. He was my boss & the studio was spending a small fortune storing it, but the prod had spent loco $ making it and couldn’t bring themselves to trash it either, so it was looking for a good home.
Share an iconic horror film shot. Seriously. This scene in #thechangeling has freaked me out for decades… #georgecscott
My wife and I had a private audience with Jonathan the Tortoise back in 2023. That double-centenarian was randy AF. Not surprised to hear the news of his death was a hoax. He’s got plenty left in the tank…
Too cool not to share. Today, my wife saw an adult #whale teaching a juvenile how to slap its tail just a little ways off shore. Filmed on the #bigisland #hawaii south of #hilo
Still one of the best montages of the last 30-40 years. #officespace
Yes. I legit did the #skeleton at #lakeplacid on my 53rd birthday. It was awesome. (You can buy runs as a civilian on certain days of the winter) #olympics
1/ Absolutely gutted by the passing of Bud Cort. ‘Harold & Maude’ is more than just a film to me. It is a sacred, existential text to me. I bizarrely saw it as a young child as a double feature with Willy Wonka. (Seriously. And this should provide some insight into my psyche)
Jussi Vatanen is a Finnish national treasure. I’ll see anything he’s in. (As long as there are subtitles. #finnish is impenetrable to understand)
Major Strasser: What is your nationality? Rick: I'm a drunkard. Captain Renault: That makes Rick a citizen of the world. #casablanca #cafeamericain
Stumbled on this sculpture in a men’s room in Lucas, Kansas. Felt like it would make a fun album cover.

One wonders how many Oscars Julian Dennison may eventually win. He is already an extraordinary, world-class talent at 23. The rest of the world will eventually figure it out.
“I go for a look I call ‘dead but delicious’” Re-watched the original 2014 #whatwedointheshadows movie yesterday and was immediately reminded of its’ brilliance.
#hilo living. Not sure its’ actual sex, but we’ve been calling him Boris and look for it every night.
