In 1981, my mother, a non-WGA member decided to rewrite a struck project. There’s some murkiness about how this happened: whether she was approached by the studio, the director of the project (a family friend), or by the director’s agent, who happened to be my dad

What is clear is that my mother felt it was an opportunity: she’d never written a script before, and here was her chance to break in. At that moment, likewise, the WGA was just preparing to go on strike: the 1981 strike would last for three months

Here's some good news. (Like a birthday, but alas, less frequent.) I sold a nonfiction book. One part memoir to two parts social history, it will tell the story of how the movies lived and died over the last century or so. Gulp.

ALWAYS CRASHING IN THE SAME CAR is out 7/27. You can--and should! preorders are so helpful and important!--grab it here, for about the cost of a terrible airport sandwich. (It is better than a terrible airport sandwich)

@gregolear He thinks it'll make him look manly to the base, which is all they care about. Remember that dumb ass photo op where they caught him squinting, trying to look all butch at North Korea? That's the principle at work here.

@joshtpm It isn’t. “Scandal” isn’t the same as “transgression.”

@MilesKlee The idea that Face/Off, one of the most thrillingly absurd movies of the 90s, is leading here invalidates the whole damn premise

Why, yes, I did just bite into a small bar of soap that I'd mistakenly filed into my pantry as emergency chocolate, thanks.

@benshapiro I would be more interested in the views of literally every athlete than I am in yours but...do you not know what a clown you sound like? How petulant, and how small?
