i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

People often say they want a Presidential candidate they feel they can have a beer with. I want a candidate willing to hold an umbrella over a little dog while she pees in the rain.

Oh thank Christ finally there’s a new NXIVM podcast coming out. All we need is some fresh Dahmer content and all will be right with the world.

Also maybe a trailer for “Speak No Evil”.

VIDEO PALACE was the first narrative podcast from SHUDDER. I co-wrote this horror/mystery audio show with @benrock.com (who also directed) and it was truly one of the best creative experiences I've ever had in this town. Perfect listening for scary season! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...

As I am fond of pointing out, literally none of these characters ever interact in the movie. Closest is Neve going up to the door of the film class that SMG is in.

An old friend from high school asked me what was my favorite thing I'd ever directed. Hard to pick, but this is it. Funny thing is that it was also the single most tortured production I've ever directed. An uphill battle every day (the best cast and designers tho).
