Perhaps my favorite bit of acting in all of Star Trek-- a quiet scene between Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg on the eve of battle as Picard confesses that he doesn't think they can win against the Borg. www.youtube.com/watch?v=63e5...

When Patrick Stewart directed "A Fistful of Datas," I was only a freelancer so I didn't really work with him, but the few times we talked, he was very kind and classy. A terrific person and so incredibly talented. I'll always be proud to share my first credit with him. Rest in Peace, Sir Patrick.

That wonderful little period after you send off a script to an admired director and can fantasize that they're gonna call you the next day saying "I couldn't put this down! I'm in!"

I was talking at a party to a showrunner friend who was really candid about how much pressure there is right now from networks for shows to use AI to cut costs-- mainly on things like faking aerial shots and doing inserts for things that were missed during shooting.

Sam Altman is Burke from Aliens and you can't convince me otherwise:
The Saudi armed forces are so incredibly bad at fighting despite having 400 combat aircraft and spending twice as much on their military as Israel for the last 40 years, you almost have to admire their dedication.

We rescued two puppies today and one of them appears to be half fruit bat.
I used my Thor and X-Men residual money to take my dad on a trip to Tibet and Nepal in 2013, and we crossed the border at the exact place where the landslide hit. It's horrifying and heartbreaking to see what's happened there.
Devout Christian and beam of sunshine Dolly Parton singing Led Zeppelin's most eerie and occult song absolutely should not work, and yet somehow does, because Dolly was just that good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKD_...

Met a new friend on the walk this morning. Didn’t say much, kind of kept to himself.
So what movies are we all most looking forward to over the next couple months? I loved the novel of The Dog Stars and am a longtime Ridley fan, so I'm really hopeful for that one.
Did Nolan include the part of The Odyssey where Odysseus has to fight a hobo for a sausage, or nah?
Polly is very upset at not being allowed to play with the scruffy dog with no leash…
Sam Neill's wordless acting in under a minute is so great here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=us6Z...

When I was first developing Camp Cretaceous one of the things Colin Trevorrow and I were both adamant about was that the dinosaurs should be animals, not monsters. That was always a huge part of how the great Sam Neill played Alan Grant & became fundamental to the franchise DNA. R.I.P.
