I had the privilege of seeing this short film based on my story in a packed theater last night. Hopefully it won't be the last time I experience something like this but I'll be riding that high for at least a few days. The jokes were landing, people seemed really into it. I was blown away. So cool.

Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didnt have Paul Dano in it
"it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Dano] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"

Kind of hate to sneak into someone else’s book conversation, but at the same time we have a duty to hype @austinross.bsky.social’s magnificent novel, Gloria Patri.
