Back at my old stomping ground, Paramount Pictures, for a screening of the 1950 classic film “Sunset Boulevard,” starring William Holden and the incomparable Gloria Swanson. Directed by master director Billy Wilder. The Paramount Theatre is a fantastic place to see a film! Love this lot!

At an FYC screening for the new Jon Hamm, Apple series, “Your Friends &!Neighbors” and the DGA.

At the DGA theater, waiting for a special screening of Th Wizard of Oz. It’s featuring a special 35mm print struck from an original 1939 nitrate printing negative, so it should just like a screening did in 1939!

#StayinLA Help Rebuild LA’s Production Industry The Palisades and Eaton Fires have deepened the crisis for LA’s film/TV workers, small businesses, and families. We need emergency incentives to bring production ...

In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here.

Sign our petition at the link in bio STAYinLA.org and share #STAYinLA widely. (And thank you to hireyoungprofessionals.com for designing our campaign!)

SIgn the petition to keep production alive in L.A.! #StayInLA

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

This is outrageous. Must-read is right!

Totally agree! Maybe also “A Very Special Episode” that’s kind of sappy but has “real heart”.

Sad to see this. We had a longtime typewriter repair shop in L.A. that closed a few years back.

After more than 50 years, Boston area's only typewriter store will close in March Cambridge Typewriter in Arlington will close on March 31 after more than 50 years in business, owner Tom Furrier said.

The store is no longer doing repairs, but Furrier is selling “hundreds and hundreds” of machines. In March, typewriters will be going for $25 or $30 each.

“I’d rather do that than see them get thrown away,” he said about the bargain prices. “There’s a lot of nice, working machines in here.”

Four books, stacked. “The Old Man” by Thomas Perry “Roughing It” by Mark Twain “The Day of the Locust” by Nathanael West “A Gentleman In Moscow” by Amor Towles

OpenAI Pleads That It Can’t Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free OpenAI is begging Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's "impossible" for the company to make money without them.

"Sorry, we can't make this technology that sucks and nobody wants and that uses enough power to blow up the moon unless we *also* steal people's shit to throw into our content woodchipper in order to produce mediocre digital particleboard out of the cumulative artbarf."

One sheet movie poster for “A Complete Unknown”, featuring a photo of Timothee Chalamet as Bob Dylan.

Went to a guilds screening last night of “A Complete Unknown”. Really liked it. Timothee Chalamet was superb. Direction, cinematography, production design, costumes and especially the acting were all top notch. This is going to be one to beat for awards.

Just spent an hour attending the MLB interview by Bryan Cranston of Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts at the Sirius XM Studios in Hollywood for MLB Radio. They were fantastic!

At a screening for Saturday Night… on a Monday night, go figure. Actors’ panel happens afterwards.

I joined Bluesky back in ‘23, when you needed an invite and still had to use a pencil to post things.

Just went to a screening for “Day of the Fight”, a new film directed by Jack Huston, with a fantastic cast. Comes out December 6th. Highly recommended! There was a Q&A afterwards between Huston and Gus Van Sant.

Cover art for a James M. Cain collection of novels. Looks like a bad romance novel book cover.

Definitely the worst cover art ever for James M. Cain book.
