Hiya! Since it's almost Halloween, it's time for one of my "favorite" spooky season PSAs! Don't buy taxidermy bats! None of them are ethically sourced, most are endangered, and the market for taxidermy or freeze dried bats is descimating local populations. Etsy, ebay, curio shows, none are okay.

A running thread throughout my interviews with Serling fans, famous or otherwise, was the divide between “what a cruel fate for a man who just wanted to read!” vs “served him right for caring more about books than people!” Jane Schoenbrun’s response is one of my favorite quotes in the whole book.

A quick postscript on CUPERTINO: there was no product placement in it. We scripted in TGIFridays because I worked there in college and we thought the bumblebee costumes would be funny. And when I was a struggling writer I wrote in a corner booth at IHOPs. Both are still good for struggling writers.

Penelope Cruz is one of the few actresses who's right for her role (Mrs Ferrari) that could stand toe to toe with the leading man cast as her husband. Driver's dressed, lit & shot as if he's an armored car in formal wear. The arguments have the power of fights and shootouts in other Mann films.
