#PetPeeveOfTheDay: People who, when using twist ties, don't follow the 'tighty-righty/lefty-loosey' rule. I shouldn't have to guess which direction to undo your twist tie. I've even bought items which had some ties going one way, and some going another. I mean, c'mon. Get it together, people.

Drew Struzan, who created the posters for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, E.T., Blade Runner, and countless others, died yesterday. I had the joy & honor of briefly working with him, and found him to be funny, gentle & kind. A true legend of the film industry. #RIP

From the Woody Allen comedies to the Woody Allen dramas, Reds with Warren Beatty, Mrs. Soffel with Mel Gibson, Baby Boom with Sam Shepard, Father of the Bride with Steve Martin, the Godfather films, and so much more, Diane Keaton was always a charismatic and luminous presence. #RIP 💔

Three #RobertRedford classics which are slightly lesser-known these days, but well worth checking out, if you've never done so: Barefoot in the Park, The Candidate, and Three Days of the Condor. Each one unique, yet each one uniquely him.
My word, what a legacy this man has left us. #RIP

Not an Onion article -- apparently, this helps them find their way to the sea. Still seems bizarre...

USA-specific, but feel free to substitute your own country's national animal in your mind: koala-in-a-bin, moose-in-a-bin, etc.

Trump supporters don't want to get into discussions with the other side, because they know they won't be able to come up with any logical defense for what he's done and said. They know that he's a sexual predator, a racist, a liar. They're too dug in to accept the truth.

Every so often this MC Hammer song from the Addams Family movie pops into my head and once again I wonder about the lyrics. I'm with him on "they do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say" — but then it gets weird…
"Yeah, so I think they should kick and slap their friends."
"Uh, what...???"
"Yeah, so I think they should kick and slap their friends."

Shocking news: actor & stuntman Richard Norton has died at the age of 75. I had the honor of working with Rich on a film many years ago where he was fight coordinator, and orchestrated my spectacular death scene. One hell of a nice man. 💔

Nah, time to wipe the slate clean, I say. Give another intelligent species a chance to evolve. Couldn't do any worse.

Starting today, and for the next 4 years, there are many things that are going to make a lot of us angry, stressed, frustrated & hopeless. But hang on to that burning ember of hope inside you. Stay strong, as best you can. Remember #MLK's words: Only light can drive out darkness.

Damn. Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Wild At Heart, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive... what an oeuvre.
#RIP David Lynch. Visionary and unforgettable.

My god, Teri Garr. How many actors can say they've appeared in films directed by Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg, Sydney Pollack, Robert Altman, Michael Apted, & John Hughes — not to mention Mel Brooks & Carl Reiner? They all knew just how incredible she was.

Huh. I just noticed that young John Fogerty of CCR looks like young Steve Martin.
Also, Steve played banjo with the Steep Canyon Rangers, and Fogerty played with the Blue Ridge Rangers. 😲
(Come to think of it, have we ever seen them both in the same place at the same time?) 🤔

Toughest voting choice I've ever had: Choosing between Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright for Male Actor in a Leading Role for the SAG Awards. Wish I could vote for both. Almost a coin flip, but I went for Giamatti in The Holdovers. (But American Fiction got my vote for best ensemble.)
