    The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

    The moment in BIRDMAN when a crew member, disguised as an extra, unhooks the wire allowing him to fly. Sometimes stage magic and filmmaking go hand in hand.

    This is White House executive chef Andre Rush, and by executive chef I mean he's definitely an under cover SEAL Team member there to thwart a terrorist attack later in the movie, right?

    Someone on reddit suggested that the Muppets should host the Oscars and it's pretty much the only thing I can think about anymore. Staler & Waldorf heckling each winner Dr Teeth & the Electric mayhem playing the Best Songs Miss Piggy mad about not being nominated NO CONTROVERSY

    Your annual reminder that pumpkin spice is just a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger - which tastes really fucking good - and it's okay to let people like things.

    The idea that you could pour a year or more of your life into a project, actually shoot it, get right up to the finish line on it, and then watch it evaporate into the ether for a corporate tax break is a nightmare. I feel so hard for everyone reeling from this right now.

    All the most successful people I know: 1) Take their work very seriously. 2) Don't take themselves very seriously at all.

    For those of you not in the industry, wondering how talks are going: THEY AREN'T The AMPTP isn't meeting with anyone. They aren't negotiating. They are quite literally waiting us out, hoping enough of us starve and lose our housing. That's it. That's their negotiating tactic.

    The immediate fear of AI isn’t that us writers will have our work replaced by artificially generated content. It’s that we will be underpaid to rewrite that trash into something we could have done better from the start. This is what the WGA is opposing and the studios want.
