Writers of chills and thrills for both page and screen: THE LONG NIGHT (2022). Happily embedded in Burbank, CA. Be kind. Lift others. Make stuff. More about me:
My friend Chambers surprised us with tickets to THE BEACH BOYS JULY 4TH SPECTACULAR at the Hollywood Bowl last night. Am a lifelong fan but had never seen them live. Fantastic show w/ great fireworks, and a fun way to celebrate #July4th. 😀 🇺🇸 #America250 #IndependenceDay
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Here's a pic of my dad with his 2 kids...before the Rebellion. We were troopin' and shootin' (not well) and generally stomping on everybody they told us to. Life was good, until the Rebellion got too big... #StarWars #FathersDay
Now rewatching ALIEN NATION, on Prime. Caan and Patinkin are so much fun in this. A remake stalled out five or so years ago, but I'm still hoping we get it one day.
Yesterday we went to the spectacular and free "Glory Hall" exhibit celebrating THE BOYS: costumes, props, set recreations + a short documentary on the making of the gospel song. They took a commemorative photo and fed us with a show-themed snack and drink. We had a great time. 😀 #TheBoys
Loaded up on #books at my local B&N. I can never have enough books. #horror #thrillers
Loving Spider-Noir. Cage and the entire cast are terrific. The b/w makes it period fun, like Godzilla Minus One. This show gives me hope we might see The Phantom, The Shadow or even Doc Savage on the small screen some day. 😃
As always, when I’m at Bob's Big Boy in #Burbank I stop by to say hi to #DavidLynch. 😃
Now watching: SHOOT TO KILL, an underrated buddy outdoor adventure thriller that coaxed Sidney Poitier back after 11 years away. Great cast with a twisty, fun story. I have the screenplay and the film score, too.
Gas is getting so expensive I'm starting to empathize with Humungus. #gas #gasprices #LosAngeles
Wow! ANGEL DOWN by @danielkraus.com wins the 2026 #PulitzerPrize for fiction. 👏👏👏👏 www.pulitzer.org/winners/dani...
The story of how I met #Chewbacca will always be my favorite STAR WARS story (posted to Facebook 7/20/16): I saw something at Disneyland yesterday that touched me. We were in line to have Alexa meet Mickey Mouse. Yes, I realize the pic is of Chewie, but I'm going somewhere with this. #StarWars
What is your favorite book-themed t-shirt? "It's a beautiful day to read banned books."
Put BLUE THUNDER to the top of my watchlist yesterday. I love it so much I have an insert poster hanging in my place. I love it so much that "F.E." is still a catchphrase between me and a childhood friend. So, yeah, I like this film.
Terrific turnout for #NoKingsDay at Abraham Lincoln Park in #Burbank today. Even the farm animals came out to say "No kings!" So many great protest signs. 👏
Impromtu solo road trip to RED ROCK CANYON STATE PARK today. I had it all to myself. I fell a bunch of times due to heavy wind, but thankfully the ground caught me 😀. I do love it there.
Whenever I get the urge to do some abstract painting, I know I'm in too deep with #writing and need to change things up creatively. The process has an equal amount of intention, and I really enjoy the physicality and discovery. Got 3 more in the works. #abstractpainting #art 🧑🎨
Popped into this cool little used bookshop in Sherman Oaks today...and walked out w/ THE OLIVER STONE EXPERIENCE by @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social. What a book...I needed a forklift just to get it in my car. 😀 🎬 📚
Studies repeatedly prove that sleeping with your feet outside the blanket increases the likelihood of monsters by 75%. #scary #monsters #horrorsky
Somehow a 1979 novel called THE NIGHTWALKER by Thomas Tessier entered my awareness. After a glance at how well regarded it is, I'm eager to read it. #horror #horrorsky #fiction #scary
