DANGEROUS ANIMALS is the real fucking deal and may well be Sean Byrne’s best film. What at first is a wild bananas premise gets treated with total seriousness, creating a tense, edge of your seat serial killer thriller. See it big & loud with a raucous audience! A riot of a summer horror ride! 🖤 it!

You can have the highest expectations and still have them miraculously surpassed. Achingly intimate yet so ambitious in scope, so full of joy and kindness even when everything’s at its darkest. Like a hug from the universe before stepping boldly into the unknown. What a film, @mikeflanaganfilm.com.
The air is electric here at Alamo Lamar. Been waiting for this one for over a year now!! #LifeofChuck

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Caught IT ENDS at SXSW. What a rad, little sci-fi indie in the vein of PRIMER. An existential dread hangout film about four friends who take a wrong turn down a road that never ends. A clever almost-entirely-in-car anchored by four *great* performances by a cast of young actors. My kind of weird.

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Remember, it’s okay for
radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers.

But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber.

NO NO NO NOT FAIR!
😠 😭

@mikeflanaganfilm.com Question about the Director’s Cut of Doctor Sleep? Phenomenal film which really delivers the book’s scares. You used a lot of really interesting score to help fill in scenes. Other films you use more space like Miles Davis…was there any reason the Directors Cut has more score?

The reason I'm so positive about aspiring writers is that I believe that:

* Anyone who can string a sentence together can write a story, script or book.

* Anyone who puts enough time, effort, and workshopping into it can write a GOOD story, script, or book.

* Anything finished can be fixed.

Engagement has been growing here for months, but the last week has been buck fucking wild. The first post was my pinned tweet for six years. The second is a skeet up on here for just over 24 hours.

The engagement is here. Anyone who tells you otherwise is thinking of our early 100k user days.
