Matthew Lillard story: He directed a movie called FAT KID RULES THE WORLD (if you find the DVD I’m quoted on it!), a fantastic coming-of-age movie I saw at SXSW. Adored it, and I told him so at the Q&A. He smiled so wide. “I love you, dude.” Felt great. Great guy.

Theaters don’t need to reinvent the experience here. It doesn’t need to be a concert. Enforce phone use, maintain your projectors, bring back honest theatrical windows and hire a staff who cares about it. That’s all. I don’t need a four course meal, props, special guests or gimmicks. Give us movies.

All of this money spent on this study and not a single mention of things that might keep people away: disruptive audience behavior, increasingly poor technical presentation, every shrinking theatrical windows (or day and date indies). I love theaters, and go multiple times a week, but it’s grim.

McDonalds choosing to use AI to make their Christmas holiday ad says everything we need to know. It's not about the season. It's not about the spirit. It's not even about being relatable. It's about shoveling out advertisements to consumers as quickly & cheaply as possible. Soulless.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.
