The world premiere of THE SPIRITUAL ADVISOR at DOC NYC was this weekend, and we had two sold out screenings!

After the first, an elderly woman turned around and said, "I'm pretty conservative, but you changed my mind about the death penalty...but not for that Luigi Magione."

We need to teach older people how to use headphones because I can't be on public transit listening to someone's grandfather watch Instagram reels at maximum volume.

I don't know how studios continually fumble making a good Jurassic Park movie.

Instead of following their big CGI action-oriented formulas, make people be stuck on an island with raptors hunting them.

Make it Alien but with raptors.

IT'S NOT THAT HARD.

A student has been missing from my college campus since Friday evening, and online discussions around this disappearance are wrapped in anti-trans discourse.

I fucking hate people.
