So dumb that there was a knight called Lance-a-lot.

That's like, "hey i'm Swords-a-bunch." okay pal.

If I did almost anything else two weeks before a deadline, I’d be a hero - but when it’s Christmas shopping suddenly I’m “last minute”? That’s nonsense.

Muppet Christmas Carol is great but the Muppet Family Christmas TV special is even better. It’s perfect.

"I only use ChatGPT for research."

Why the fuck would you want to take the most enjoyable, interesting, procrastinatey part of screenwriting and give it away to a goddam robot?

Do we really have guaranteed rights and freedoms in this country if rouge premiers can suspend them at will, multiple times a month even, with, apparently, zero repercussions? www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

It's December, which means it's time for my favorite post of the year (which will be updated all day), the cinema of 2025 as gags from 30 Rock. Starting with ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Guys, we have all seen Tarantino's acting. We obviously do not need to pay him any mind when it comes to who is a good actor or who is not. I would think that was obvious.

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

Was pretty cold on “Bugonia” but I’m willing to consider I just missed something.

Hey Calgary! I'm teaching a screenwriting workshop in January with the CSIF called "How To Find Your Story."
It's all about the work we do before we type Fade In.

My hotel room has a bathtub in the bedroom and I’m not sure what to do about it.

Holy shit. We cannot allow this government to stand when they will happily erase the charter rights of citizens simply to save a few bucks.

That is criminal and unbelievable.

Vancouver! I am in your city.
If we’re friends we could have beer.
If we’re enemies we could have a staring contest.

Speaking of weird Canadian shows, I once had a show in development at CBC about an inter-dimensional unicorn who granted mundane wishes if you murdered someone.

That's true thing.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen
