I always, always feel guilty for some reason when I have a lazy day. But today is that day. A little touch-up painting prep. Drove my daughter and friends to #Wicked. Now watching the 90s #TheOuterLimits for a bit. I might use the bathroom later. Maybe. I'll think about it. #Saturday #vibes

This #Thanksgiving, I'm thankful my son is still with us. About a month ago, a car accident put him in the hospital for 3 days. Worst 3 days of my life because we didn't know what the outcome would be. He is thankfully OK, and was back on set a few days after. Today: Peace, #turkey, #StrangerThings.

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love...
A brilliant debut, a super sexy neo-noir about two lesbians conspiring to steal millions from the mob. A chamber piece that feels much bigger. Great cast. Every scene crackles. Fav line: "It's fuckin' dark in here."

#RIP Spike, a #Burbank #Police #K9 officer killed in the line of duty last weekend. There's a sizable memorial growing at Burbank PD. Going walk over tomorrow and pay my respects. Rest now, hero. Good dog.

Hit up #RunyonCanyon today for a quick hike with the family--always fun. I was people-watching so much I barely snapped any pics. 😀

One of my all time favorite movies. I just rewatched it a few weeks ago — it’s the most realistic depiction of humanity in space ever made IMO. I keep hoping for a re-release or maybe that the NewBev will show it.
Taken from 'In Search Of Tomorrow'
(2022), a five hour documentary on 80s sci fi. Well worth renting.
Peter Hyams' love for Connery is evident here.
(Uploaded as two overlapping clips because BS is stuck in the 2010s) Pt 2 below.

FYI: If you're sad that Shudder's CREEPSHOW series has come to an end, never fear: a brand new anthology of stories based on the show is coming soon.

This is a great script. If you've never read a Richard Price script, SEA OF LOVE is a great one to start with. The movie's fantastic, too: a thriller about Al Pacino's NYC cop entangled in a BASIC INSTINCT-type situation w/ Ellen Barkin's murder suspect. #screenwriting #screenplays
Page One: "Sea of Love" (1989), written by Richard Price

Interesting that there are 2 new TV shows with novelists as the protagonists: #PLURIBUS on AppleTV and #THEBEASTINME on Netflix. Both heroines are unhappy, cranky, angry, for different reasons. Hey, #writers are people, too. 😀

Planning to do the Great Los Angeles Walk this weekend. We did it last year and had a blast. This year's path is Pershing Square to Santa Monica. A great way to experience parts of the city I don't normally see on foot. #glaw
Did my first GREAT LOS ANGELES WALK yesterday w friends and family — an all-day stroll/hike through the city. The 2024 route was USC to UCLA -- 14 MILES. It's not a race, but a chance to explore. Took us 7 hours, with stops for points-of-interest, lunch, etc. I clocked 40,000 steps! #glaw

Now watching: #CHRISTINE (1983), John Carpenter's terrific adaptation of the #StephenKing novel. I've always loved it. The scene where Christine rebuilds herself is still heart-thumping. Arnie's a great, tragic character. And Buddy...that dbag had it coming.

Loved @realgdt.bsky.social's #FRANKENSTEIN. I avoided all reviews so I could experience it without preconceptions. It's thrilling, meditative and artfully grotesque. Loved the Wrightson flourishes. The creature design + Elordi's incredible performance are an iconic combination, a benchmark. 👍

#Pluribus on Apple TV: Terrific. Fun that the heroine is a writer. The book signing scene was hysterical, and the last scene in the pilot was as funny as it was terrifying. Can't wait to watch more. 👍

Got to meet Dave Cockrum at a con when I was a kid, and of course he signed a bunch of my #X-Men books. A great artist gone too soon.

Always how I thought they could explain the various actors playing Bond: when a 007 falls or retires, a new one is installed w the code-name #JamesBond. All 00s follow this pattern. No need to really explain it, either. Just install a new Bond and let audiences put 2+2 together. 👍

I love spiders the way I love sharks (I have scars), which is to say I think spiders are fascinating and completely misunderstood. But this clip and the comments on this thread are complete nightmare fuel.
