If I wrote a screenplay, I'd want to run it by her first to see if it sucked. Few seem to understand that things need to be properly set up first and paid off later. Yet the most highly paid people in Hollywood do not understand this.
Just don’t ask her for editing tips; I can’t watch her videos because her cuts are very distracting

LOL. Yeah why do movies (and TV) do that? So you can remember character names? It’s pretty blatant and annoying.

Exception, like you said, for Schitt’s Creek.

“David!”

He’s almost there. One more month will be twelve weeks. I’ve been intense about following the vets instructions on his recovery.

His other dad called today to tell me he’s not coming back to Ireland til March at least rather than January so I’m kinda fucked up about it. Onwards. All I can do.

I know RM doesn't have a ton of love for Kevin Smith, and I totally get that. But his recap of The Rise of Skywalker on his YouTube channel is so great. It's hilarious and emotional.

I saw the live panel with the other guy, were they talk about the movie, and kinda agree with a lot of what they say.

Still topping the box office. Posting similar numbers to The Last Jedi over the new year days, but TLJ had been out a little longer.
