My new feature film has now been selected by zero film festivals and not accepted by thirteen.

Even tougher out here than usual for non-narrative feature film makers.

Hard to find a festival that doesn’t feature the words “we celebrate storytellers” prominently on their web site… 😂😂😂

And re: Variety’s list of the top 100 comedies of all time: where the hell is Sophie’s Choice????

Since we’re talking Star Wars rankings, let me once again say I believe Star Wars (1977) was enough. I did not need or want any other Star Wars anything.

If you love Breathless, you really need to see Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague on Netflix. So much fun!

While I’m angry that my humor book Disalmanac: A Book of Fact-Like Facts was used to train LLMs, it’s also kind of hilarious because every fact in the book is WRONG. 😂

One of my favorite Warren Zevon recordings is this live cover of Bo Diddley’s A Gunslinger from Stand in the Fire—an album he didn’t actually remember recording!
