Great to see a whole new audience connecting with my 2013 film THE GREAT HIP HOP HOAX on Netflix. The fiction based on the same story, directed by James McAvoy hits cinemas April 10th.

Are any historians of #C18 London familiar with Thomas Phillips' lock-up house on Gray's Inn Lane? Although Phillips died in 1770, I believe this is where Jacques-Pierre Brissot was briefly imprisoned in 1784. I would love to know more about it. Thank you kindly!

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
