No matter how many times I uncheck this setting in the App Store, it's turned back on by Apple multiple times a year. What is the point of a setting that they just unset for you whenever they feel like it?

I have come to learn that the only good forum for sharing creative professional advice is a private forum run by thoughtful people who swiftly and directly intercede when participants with bad faith engagement emerge.

I keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.

I made a similar joke yesterday, but I guarantee someone at Neon really wants to call this BACKROADS. It's gonna get some comparisons to BACKROOMS, though it premiered over a year ago on the festival circuit, predating the current trends. Cool As fuck vibes driven cosmic horror. Highly recommended.

I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing

actually the plural is sponges bob squarespant

IT ENDS comes out VERY SOON! (August 21)

I appreciate that on Swedish election days you're still allowed to fuck inside the gaping maw of the taxidermied blue whale.

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

Heartbreaking. ONCE is a top 10 movie for me, and one of the movies I've rewatched and studied the most. That movie and his performance were a major reference and influence on Blindspotting. I was so lucky to see the Swell Season in concert last year at The Greek. We all lost a true artist today.

I did a THE ODYSSEY / HADESTOWN double feature yesterday, and it was a delightful way to spend a Sunday. Strongly recommend.

The Fates knew you'd ask for an encore. 🌹👏 Due to popular demand, HADESTOWN: THE MUSICAL is extending its theatrical run! Book the best seat and experience the Broadway phenomenon on the big screen before it's gone. Get your tickets now! #HadestownTheMusical https://bit.ly/4vuVkUW

I don't think I should run Netflix. But if I did run Netflix, I would spend 0.25% of the $20B annual content budget ($50M) on making weird genre movies with upcoming filmmaking talent. Give them meaningful creative freedom, but also take a first-look on their next movie.

I want an extensive documentary about the interdepartmental conversations that went into the design of the screen separating Penelope from the suitors and visitors. We are already overflowing with camera and aspect-ratio discourse. But this is something that truly touches almost every department!

This post only getting 3 likes is ridiculous. It has to be the most underrated post in my extensive catalog of bangers.

Over 25 years later, and this is still the best AI generated image.

Been locked out of the Jay-Z concert at Yankee Stadium for two hours. Gates all locked, with no official announcement of why.

I’m so excited to be helping out with this one. Audrey’s script is great, and I love our extraordinary cast. Plus it means I got to hang out in NYC for the Knicks championship and now the World Cup! deadline.com/2026/07/rach...

Watching the World Cup on Fox One is exposing me to previously unimaginable broadcasting horrors. They just played the same "Fox News Wine Shop" with Steve Doocy commercial three times in a row.

I haven’t seen the movie, so this is not a comment on the quality of the movie; but I don’t have any interest in seeing a Robin Hood movie where the marketing tagline is that Robin Hood wasn’t a hero. It’s like marketing cheesecake by saying “this cheesecake is no dessert”

Some recommendations from my recently enjoyed media consumption list… TV: Widow's Bay, Taskmaster S21, Legends (Netflix) Film: Obsession, Power Ballad, Exiled (Johnnie To), Wasteman Books: the Dungeon Crawler Carl series

Considering signing up for one of these stupid prediction markets just so I can create a (definitely-not-a) bet for "Will the new Batman movie have a scene where we see Bruce Wayne's parents being murdered?"

Now that's timing.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Under The Bright Lights, my upcoming book about how the Knicks built a champion, is now AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER! I've spent years working on the book, which will chronicle never-before-told stories with a heavy focus on the title run. Link: www.simonandschuster.com/books/Under-...

Film business press: "Zigging is the only thing that works at the box-office. Every studio is demanding zigs and only zigs." Film business press, maybe a year later: "Nobody Saw Zags Coming! Zags Are The New Zigs!"

I think we can all agree that the text in this letter is justified.

It’s clear these changes missed the mark, so we’re rolling them back. We’ll be working on a solution that better balances the varying needs of all our users and will provide more information before we roll out additional changes.

I guess I won't watch the Champions League final since Paramount+ refuses to play the live video on either my computer or my AppleTV. It also keeps displaying a "Fatal Error" message. Buddy, I'll survive. I'll just cancel my subscription.

No other movie has ever made me cry as much as Dear Zachary

okay folks, I’m in need of a good cortisol release — please share which movies make you shake violently from sobbing. I’m talking Titanic, Fault In Our Stars, P.S. I Love You, the first dozen times you watch The Notebook level don’t let me down
