In the wake of David Lynch's ascension, I find myself playing the soundtrack to his DUNE even more often than usual. With all due respect to Hans Zimmer's brilliant work on Villeneuve's equally brilliant adaptation, TOTO's work remains one of the all-time great scores. #DavidLynch #Dune #TOTO

The other day a producer told me I look like I write novels. No doubt because of my vibe: "young and hip, not lame and broke."
screenwriters need to be more like novelists. They need to be old and sad

Dear New Yorker,
I am generally willing to put up with your amusing editorial choices (see: "unnecessary umlaut"). However, please do something about the missing preposition: "When Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, in 1966, Xiao had recently graduated high school and was working in a factory."
