Turn down the saturation on your TV. Bump the contrast a bit. Choose the Japanese language track with English subtitles on Disney+. And Star Wars: The Phantom Menace becomes the best “Space Kurosawa” movie ever made. Trust me.

It's been more than 20 years since Tony wrote Munich. Watching the film get written, shot, and released was an extraordinary experience, and I don't think anyone has talked to Tony about it with more thoroughness and insight than Corey has here.
a few months ago, i talked to Tony Kushner for an hour and a half about Munich
Even Tony Kushner Warned Steven Spielberg About Making ‘Munich’
Kushner—who cowrote the screenplay for Spielberg’s controversial, eerily prescient film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—recalls telling the director, “You do understand that we’re going to get ...

As a 6’7” person, it’s probably easier if I just start letting people think I’m a bench player for the Washington Wizards.

The speed at which I said “George Michael” when this shot appeared in the Levi’s commercial was rather surprising to my family.

If Trump or Vance or Musk do something that seems completely irrational to you, ask yourself “is this getting them more attention?”
If the answer is “yes” then actually it makes perfect sense.
And the answer will always be yes.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

I wonder why “If you do drugs, you go to hell before you die” didn’t stick as Super Mario’s catch phrase.

I’m not much of a toy collector, but this figure was too good to pass up. Super Grover and I go way back.

I loathe the term “Content Creator.” It’s like calling a chef a “Calories Producer.”

Somehow an interesting filmmaker got something genuinely original out of Hollywood and into THEATERS. Sinners is worth the ticket.

Been working on custom animations, sound fx, and music to create motion game boards that combine digital environments with physical game pieces and terrain. The effect makes for kinetic and memorable game moments where players feel they are in control of a thrilling movie scene.

Since @cyan.com changed puzzles in the new edition of Riven, that means new notes and a new journal! I made a D’ni numerical emblem for the cover.

1000% still call nearly every guy from high school by their last name. It’s strange when I have to refer to them by their first name when talking to their wife or kids.

A good article on the frustrating reality that every artist, first and foremost, MUST be a social media marketer. www.vox.com/culture/2024...
Everybody has to self-promote now. Nobody wants to.
So you want to be an artist. Do you have to start a TikTok?

“Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers will grow when you die.”
This illustration originally came to mind at the start of the invasion of Ukraine, but the blustering of fools in the Oval Office prompted me to finally draw it. May the days of wicked men be few.
