Some guy: God, Tony Soprano is so cool. I wish I could be like him.

Me, thinking about eating Italian deli sandwiches with my friends: Yeah, same.

One of my favorite tie-ins to the 60's Batman series was the set of trading cards painted by Mars Attacks artist Norman Saunders. They're all masterpieces.

Look, people can argue all day about whether or not you should count recent developments as a "win" or as "progress" but this is the first time that multiple prominent figures in this administration have admitted that things are not going well. Until now, it's been all bluster and bravado.

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

There's a reason why "famous writer schedules" tend to recycle the same twelve routines. Because 99% of the time, being able to do this requires SO much support from a partner (or even a parent.) And it breaks the escapism when you say stuff like "Abruptly stopped my sentence to take kid to school."

It's always fun to read reactions to Sam Raimi films.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

When people accuse The Sopranos of being a wish-fulfillment fantasy, I assume they're not taking about the criminal stuff and all the sex and murder, but rather that Tony gets to eat a lot of pasta on a boat that one time

love to put something together and then reread it to make sure, and then editorial points to a sentence and it's a big case of "What would you say.......... happened here?" and you feel like you've been wandering the streets in an open hospital gown.

Here’s the thing about THE WEIGHT. It’s a movie I feel like I could confidently recommend to *anyone*. Old, young, smart, dumb, indifferent, snobby or vulgarian. It’s sort of a miracle — a great survival thriller but so, so much more. www.vulture.com/article/the-...
We Don’t Get Movies Like The Weight Much Anymore
Think of this atmospheric, exciting survival thriller as The Wages of Fear (or Sorcerer, if you prefer) but on foot.

Just finished the first pass review of the next book, which was a great way to realize that you can write for years and years and still think "Come on, man. Learn how to put a dang sentence together."

BLADE RUNNER: You're walking in the desert and you see a tortoise on its back

ME: A tortoise? What's that?

BLADE RUNNER: You know what a turtle is?

ME: No

BLADE RUNNER: Oh. Usually, that clarifies it. Uh… hear of an armadillo?

ME: Huh?

BLADE RUNNER: Iguana?

ME: Can we talk about my mother now
