Canadian Screenwriter whose biggest claim to fame is getting fired by two different Juno Award winners. (but I also worked for Ridley Scott a little bit once, so it evens out) http://www.feelcanadian.com https://letterboxd.com/jfiliatrault/

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

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

If you want to stand up and do a Q&A or whatever, I say go for it.

Are you in Charlottetown? Go see my short film “Now, I Am A Bear” on Friday Oct 17th! Search Charlottetown Film Festival to get tix, probably.

Using AI to fight AI is like eating shit to fight shit eating. Just don’t.

Could you do a staging of Waiting for Godot where the play never actually happens? Audience comes in, sits, waits, there is always the sense that it will happen soon, and then - good night everyone, thank you for coming.

That’s been done, right?

Can you join ICE and just be shitty at your job? Can people get a signing bonus and sabotage fascism through benign incompetence?

I used to pretend to be a mars rover and inexplicably got invited to NASA JPL because they were fans and so I found myself having beer and hotdogs with a bunch of actual rocket scientists looking up at the space station. Also got to write an op-ed in TIME magazine for some reason.

Pitch Perfect had an opportunity to evolve into a Fast & Furious style franchise in which the Barden Bellas travelled the world inexplicably fighting evil and seemingly super-powered high-tech criminals while performing a cappella mash ups and the fact that they didn't seize on it is pure cowardice.

So abusing children is free speech but burning a flag is not.
Got it.

You’re not a joke guy, you’re a novelist.

So bonkers that the joke guy from the 90s who we all were like holding up as an example of the shittiest idiot on the planet is now telling the literal US army to invade Powell's bookstore and it's somehow real life.

Nothing hits as hard as Richard Kind getting a second billed single title card credit on A Serious Man. Into my veins.

If anyone in your life doesn’t get the big deal of AI in movies or art, ask them if they would watch an AI football game or AI tennis match and if not, why not?

It will get them using their thinking-meat.

The Alberta support is okayyyyyy but I’m not super jazzed about everything west of Ontario being lumped in as one region. BC ends up with 7out of 10 projects funded and the prairies are kinda left struggling over the scraps. It’s no way to support a national industry.

Telefilm coming to Calgary, hyping up their new "Western Strategy" and then a few weeks later revealing that it only affects and supports BC is pretty classic Telefilm.

Good job them.
