I used to think this poem I wrote a few years ago was funny.
Hope is the thing with feathers
Okay fine whatever
The fucking eagle that's still
Eating Prometheus's liver
Has feathers too

It's hard to overstate what a catastrophe it would be for moviemaking and moviegoers if the Ellisons are allowed to acquire Warner Brothers and merge it with Paramount. I know that rooting for Comcast and/or Netflix sticks in a lot of throats here but those would be far better alternatives... >

The big surprise for me today is that I feel worse about what’s happening to Teen Vogue than I do about what’s happening to Sixty Minutes.

I thought I was going to love Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere because of my deep knowledge and long personal experience with Bruce Springsteen’s music. I was wrong. I love it because of my deep knowledge and long personal experience with the creative process and major depressive disorder.

It's taken me three days to finish PLAY DIRTY and I'm still not finished... and I'm quite a big fan of Shane Black's stuff. It's possibly the Marky Mark factor, who's to say?

I speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes children are better off when their racist and misogynist fathers are dead.

Talent isn't rare. Throw an apple & you hit someone with talent. Perseverance? rare. Work ethic? exceedingly rare; the willingness to grind. Being able to endure the scorn, rejection & privation a life in the arts dooms you to in the United States is unicorn-scarce. But talent? Talent is everywhere.

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

It only takes one thing to make you a real writer: insecurity.
Saw a post recently about what makes someone a "serious" writer. It included studying writing at university, partaking in multi-day workshops, attending conferences, attending awards ceremonies.
Sounds a lot like pay-to-play, to me.

Dems confused about why they're polling lower than GOPs? Think of it this way: one side is vile, rabid vermin - the other side let them in the house, feeds them, doesn't discipline them, dotes on them, responds to their needs, often takes their side in territorial disputes, asks you for $5.00 often.
