I make movies and TV shows.
This came in the mail just now and I'm about to watch Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice so it's a @bdgrabinski.bsky.social night, apparently.
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is fantastic, ridiculously fun & mixes genres effortlessly. Especially loved the incorporation of HK style inspired action. Of course, all thanks to the razor sharp script & impeccable direction by @bdgrabinski.bsky.social The Valerie needle drop is absolutely perfect
Thanks for all the nice words people have said about the movie on here. www.polygon.com/mike-nick-ni...

Applause for @bdgrabinski.bsky.social for that Gilmore Girls runner. Also “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” is great
Holy shit, MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE is fucking fantastic. What a ride, @bdgrabinski.bsky.social! It’s so smart and funny and like nothing else out there. Such a wonderful mix of sci-fi, comedy, violence, and even some feels.

A crying shame that MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE isn’t playing in theaters as it’s far and way the most fun movie of the year so far and I *need* to see it with an audience. The silver lining is that we can all just watch it over and over again at home. Congrats to @bdgrabinski.bsky.social
In @bdgrabinski.bsky.social I trust. #MikeAndNickAndNickAndAlice is a BLAST. Riotously funny, outrageously fun & clever action + unexpected Gilmore Girls discourse. The music supervisor came to play! Vince Vaughn & James Marsden are terrific in action-comedy mode. Eiza Gonzáles is effortlessly cool.
MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE is an absolute fucking BLAST! @bdgrabinski.bsky.social directed the shit outta this movie and all the main cast are charisma on legs. And don't get me started on those needle drops... So glad I got to see this is a packed theater!
I loved MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE and writing about it for @cinapse.bsky.social actually made me love it even more. Writer/Director BenDavid Grabinski made something personal, specific, and FUN here. I go out of my way to warn of anything spoilery. #SXSW
haha, great trailer for one of our SXSW Headliners, MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE. This movie is so, so much fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvDG...

If you want to know how indispensable Adam Somner was, look at his credits: 22 movies for Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Ridley Scott alone. Whenever I heard his name spoken during a production, it was usually preceded by "Thank God for." Gone much too soon. RIP. deadline.com/2024/11/adam...
