Screenwriter REIGN OF FIRE
Used the Heimlich to save a man from a choking death at a German restaurant even though a slapdash tracheostomy with a fork would've been more dramatic

I gotta say, I’m seeing the most Live Laugh Love women I went to all girls high school with in Ohio posting anti-ICE Instagram reels and demanding people pay attention to the threat of fascism

Cruise is a savvy reader with great taste who can distinguish a good screenplay from a bad one. Give him 100 scripts and he'll identify the two that shine. This skill (among actors) is more uncommon than you think.
What's your non-scientology Tom Cruise Hot Take - and is it hotter than "THE LAST SAMURAI is a Top 5 Cruise movie" or have we finally all caught up?

Talent isn't rare. Throw an apple & you hit someone with talent. Perseverance? rare. Work ethic? exceedingly rare; the willingness to grind. Being able to endure the scorn, rejection & privation a life in the arts dooms you to in the United States is unicorn-scarce. But talent? Talent is everywhere.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

I need a 2-minute video edit of Big Mike's patented, soaring, high-flying catches (they almost always ended in spectacular crash-landings) set to Carly Simon's Nobody Does It Better.

Just saw Superman. Was gonna do a whole bit about it walking in. That’d be a disservice. It’s an important piece of work and I’m not joking. I don’t even like superhero movies. Sprint to see it. Bring your kids and explain it to them. James Gunn had a time machine when he made it.

F1 fits into Martin Scorsese's idea of "theme park cinema," not just because it tries to feel like a rollercoaster, but because the point isn't to watch it. It's to buy into the brand of F1.

What folks are getting a tough lesson in right now: Institutions are people. They are not abstract forces that exist as firewalls or safeguards. They are just people who play a role and who perhaps have abided by norms, but whose decisions minute to minute shape the role those institutions play.

Mr. Graff is a gifted writer and public speaker. It's still mortifying that he had to step up and write this as a reference sheet for US media (but here we are and it's getting worse by the hour).
Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
