If I were a football player I simply would not hit the quarterback when he is out of bounds to give my opponents a FG that is 15 yards closer.

I think if the 49ers run it the next time they have the ball it’ll work because Philly will be like “they can’t possibly do something that is failing this badly again, let’s defend the pass.”

I mostly disagree with this, but it would be kinda funny to see the best picture montage for BARBARIAN.

Mia Goth says ‘change is necessary’ with the way the Oscars reject horror after ‘Pearl’ was shut out.
“I think that it’s very political… A shift should take place if they wanted to engage with the wider public. I think it would be of benefit really [to nominate horror movies].”

I asked Dean Devlin if his penchant for positivity has ever backfired in a movie or TV show, and his answer made me laugh. Fun episode, full interview at the link; make sure to check out his new show The Ark on . podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pro

Some will say “this isn’t self defense,” but how do you know? Maybe that monk broke into the demon’s house and is trying to assert squatter’s rights. Gotta hear both sides.

Anybody aiming at colonizing Mars should realize that the Earth's oceans are
• Easier to reach
• Easier to colonize
• More fertile
Oh, and there's nearly 3x land in the Earth's oceans (140M sqm) than in all of Mars (56M sqm)

Can't be said enough how wild it is that the world's largest country is so untransparent and so inhospitable to foreign media that one has to rely on tea leaves like this to understand what is happening there: ft.com/content/f47a9f

The film might very well be on "Peacock" now, I wouldn't know. Personally, I have possessed a physical copy since September. But I'm sure you all will admire the picture just as much from your dirty laptop screens and water-damaged Airpods.

The other day I was thinking about David Bowie and of all his performances the one I most wanted to watch in that precise moment was his three-minute cameo on EXTRAS. Just watching Gervais’s face deflate while Bowie sings “Chubby little loser” … perfection.

Listen, I don't like him very much these days either, but this is some top-shelf physical comedy from Ricky Gervais.

I loved listening to this episode this morning. It gave me the warm fuzzies. I admit to be a big fan of his TV shows, Almost Paridise, The Librarians, and any version of Leverage that comes out. Didn't realize he had a new show coming out.

Must have tripped some sort of adult content algo by linking to a story focused on Mia Goth [radio edit] Alexander Skarsgard.

Interesting. These two tweets linking to the NYT piece on INFINITY POOL's ratings have been almost *completely* throttled by Twitter. Compare to views for my previous tweet. Also getting a weird error message on TweetDeck for the QT to the original post.

On Deadline they noted the version of INFINITY POOL that screened at Sundance was NC-17 because it had an orgy scene, ultraviolence, and a breast-feeding scene and I was like "well, I saw the R-rated cut and ... it had all of that too?" Interesting look here at what got "cut." twitter.com/juliarebeccaj/

One thing we discussed very briefly: how much more expensive COVID protocols have made things. He said the constant testing, cast and crew rotations, etc added seven figures to the last season of LEVERAGE. It's crazy.

Gotta say: I was pretty excited to talk to Dean Devlin, given how much the Devlin-Emmerich team meant to me as a teen. We talked his new show on SyFY, The Ark, embracing melodrama on TV, and how the business has changed over the last 30 years.

In the 80s they went overboard with long graphic sex scenes that made everyone in the theater uncomfortable.

Go see INFINITY POOL this weekend. But only if you are a grown up who doesn’t hate seeing sex scenes.

DANA POINT - In an upset, Andrea Riseborough is elected chair of the Republican National Committee. Members say they were “blown away” by her performance in “To Leslie.”

You’re not mad Andrea Riseborough got an Oscar nomination. You’re mad your preferred actress (or actresses) failed to give one of the five objectively best performances of the year. You’re mad at yourself, really.

If you've only ever heard about American Dirt via Twitter, you might have the wrong idea of how it fared in the marketplace, as I did before I read this tweet
Quote Tweet
American Dirt has sold until now 650,000 copies in hardcover according to Bookscan (the trade tool for book sales counts). It's a massive hit. For comparison, my novel, Mexican Gothic, which ended up 12 weeks on the NYTs best seller list, sold 166,000 hardcovers
