Rob Reiner's first seven films: 1. Spinal Tap. 2. The Sure Thing. 3. Stand By Me. 4. THE PRINCESS BRIDE. 5. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. 6. Misery 7. A Few Good Men. Good lord. Even Spielberg included 1941 in his first seven.

And that was after playing Michael Stivic. I hope this news isn't true. But...

Living through the Holocaust to be killed later for the exact same thing is a level of evil and sadness that is just unimaginable

I am in this movie, and I think it should be pretty great, but also, co-sign
I don't know anything about the movie, but I'm enjoying the hell out of Amanda Seyfried's press tour.

On the most recent season of Platonic (Apple), one of the characters develops a catchphrase for her podcast: “Don’t ask, don’t get.” There’s some truth to this in Hollywood but only some. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on FAVORS. When/when not to ask and what to ask for.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

You are too kind! If only quoting poetry were a standard draft metric!
@ellenadair.bsky.social best mic technique AND best Whitman quote?

I know who won the draft.
December 10, 2025 at 2:11 AM
I am very sorry. I had really considered drafting myself as a villain because of this, but it felt like a repeated beat with the Sepinwall discussion.
@ellenadair.bsky.social darn you to get the Hess Truck jingle in my head. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Belated thank-you! I do want to congratulate anyone who doesn't have them play at every commercial break. I thought they were life's third inevitability.
@ellenadair.bsky.social currently listening to the holiday draft and absolutely gobsmacked that nobody else has even heard of the Hess truck commercials?? It's impossible to escape! Wow. Anyways I thought that was a great pick. Happy Holidays!

Belatedly posting about the news because I spent a Delightful day hanging out with @joeposnanski.com, but I am THRILLED that we can forecast five more years of Schwarbombs for the Philadelphia region!

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Feeling so moved today, wanted to post a couple of favorite moments from Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech!

It's absurd that concepts like affordable housing, affordable health care, child care, and transportation have been branded as "extreme and dangerous" in this country.

Forgot to post our early voting selfie from like nine days ago because life has been an occasionally entertaining firehouse, but today is the day to VOTE, NYC!

So happy to get the chance to vote for Zohran Mamdani. Let's just TRY to inject a little more socialism into our capitalism, shall we?

Here at the Awards Ceremony at FilmQuest!

DAMNED IF YOU DO was nominated for eight awards, including Best Screenplay for @ericgilde.bsky.social and I!

We are exhausted and giddy and delighting in every moment with the best genre film nerd vibes! Love you, FilmQuest! #scriptsky #filmsky

Things are more & more bleak these days, but I don't want to lose all celebration because of it.

@ericgilde.bsky.social & I
are having The Time of My Life at FilmQuest, where the film we wrote, DAMNED IF YOU DO, is screening TONIGHT! (Pictured is us on our first night here.) #scriptsky #filmsky

fyi, the SNAP eliminations are a Project 2025 mandate.

SNAP recipients didn’t lose benefits during prior such shutdowns.

Pay attention.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk:

- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

Blue Jays: I am DELIGHTED.

The way both offenses have gotten to the pitching has really made it look like the right teams are in the Series.

Feels very on brand for 2025 that I guess I'm rooting for Canada
