I live in LA where I write things you may see on stage or screen. Also I really hate cotton balls.

I didn’t expect to get emotional at a vampire movie. SINNERS is great. It’s complex and thought-provoking and funny. If you want Hollywood to make more movies that aren’t pre-existing IP or reboots, go see it this weekend!

Boy all this talk of "temporary suffering" so we can usher in some vaguely defined "Golden Age" sure sounds like a cult leader right before he tells everyone to put on their Nikes for the last time.

If Democrats would stop doing what they’re doing and do a magical unnamed perfect thing instead then Trump would fall in the cake I just know it.

The same CEOs who destroyed the Hollywood system (that made everyone in it ridiculously rich for 100 years) so they could chase “innovation” and higher stock prices are now chasing “Trump” - and it all feels so needlessly stupid and sad.

I truly think Newsom should make a speech inviting Trump to personally turn on his magical water spigot during halftime of the Super Bowl.
"We don't know where it is, but if Trump tells us where to be, CA will pay for the production costs to film this historical moment."
"We don't know where it is, but if Trump tells us where to be, CA will pay for the production costs to film this historical moment."
Trump: "In California, millions of gallons of waters are waiting to be poured down through already the half pipes that are already built. I mean, they've been up for 40 years and about 20 years ago they turned off the water. And it's the water that comes from the Pacific Northwest."

“And it should be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic.”
