My wife is on TV tonight! And because she conducted her segments remote, you can observe our kickass CD collection on the wall behind her.
My prime time program with TCM on November 17th covers Robert Altman's COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME and the Gay Bar Christmas Picture SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE. SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE doesn't screen anywhere very often and doesn't have a DVD in circulation.

Hey Ontario. Please pay attention to this. It's fucking terrifying. As a renter I rely on rent control in order to, you know, LIVE, and this threatens to take it away from me and most people I know.

I just want to take this moment to tip my hat to all the moral motherfuckers out there who got an invite to the Riyadh Comedy Festival and took the L to the bank account in favor of keeping their soul. I've been offered money like that before. It's not easy to say no but it feels GREAT in hindsight.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

The film community lost a wonderful human being.
Amy Lacy, script supervisor on Halt and Catch Fire, has sadly passed away.
She was an incredible & warm presence on every set, a gift to all who knew her. She had kind words for my wife during her first pregnancy on our pilot.
Grateful for her. ❤️
