@devindra.bsky.social getting close to the end of The Good Fight season 6 and it’s batshit crazy and seemingly prophetic and scary as shit. And I mean batshit crazy in the best way possible. Thanks again for the repeated recommendations to watch it on The Filmcast.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Soon we’ll learn that the orange clown bought a shit ton of Advil shares before making these statements about Tylenol. Maybe the profits of those illegal trading practices will cover some of the lawsuits.

@ericheisserer.bsky.social I’m not sure if you check this account any longer but I wanted to say how much more I appreciate your screenplay of ‘Arrival’ having just read the short story it was based on. Both are beautiful stories, yours adding the stakes to have made it more of a grander story.

I’ve managed to read many books this year, more than I’ve read in the past ten years collectively. ‘Klara and the Sun’ was very affecting and will be on a very short list of books that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Beautiful in it’s melancholy and sadness, i couldn’t put it down.

@devindra.bsky.social I finally checked out ‘The Good Fight’ based on your thankfully frequent recommendation. As good as the Good Wife, at least in the first season. Thanks!

I’ve never wished for something to be true more than this and that is a sad state that this world has left us to be in, now if all the other evil would hurry up and do the same.

So many YouTube videos about a certain someone’s impending demise and I’m just like, “stop teasing us, just let us know when it’s done.”

One of my favorite (and most common) novel structures?
Multiple storylines. When done well, it's SO good.
But it's also SO easy to get wrong.

Authoritarian regimes are notorious for making people think what they perceive to be reality is not actually real. Sometimes this is called creating "unreality" sometimes "gas-lighting." It doesn't matter which label is used, the goal is the same: make people doubt what they see with their own eyes.

I have never “got” the #FantasticFour, never really saw the appeal or was interested.
The new movie has changed that. I want to use another adjective than Fantastic, but it definitely is that and so much more. The characters are so well drawn and you get attached quickly. Looking forward to more!

I’m excited for Fantastic Four, my only concern is that they don’t take The Thing for granite.

It really is mind blowing that these hateful clowns keep stepping on the same "you made my superhero woke" rake over and over.
They didn't make your favorite superhero "woke," my dudes. Y'all became the bad guys.

I’ve been a fan of Supes for over 40 years, since donning an orange towel and learning that I as a four year old I can’t fly and that a coffee table edge can hurt you.
That childhood joy was there for the whole ride that is the new Superman film. It was a lot of fun & was everything I hoped for.
