Hey @VancityReynolds, a friend of mine is going to ask his girlfriend to marry him during Deadpool & Woverine because their first date was Deadpool 1. Any advice on when he should do it?

I remember seeing this when it aired. The craziest moment I'd ever seen on a TV show by far.
To this day, one of the more shocking tv moments experienced in real time. This was a BIG show.

More people live in the red areas than in the gray areas. Land doesn’t vote. Abolish the electoral college.

I wrote three articles for a digital magazine called “Gravity City.” Those articles are on “Star Wars,” “Planet of the Apes” and “Flash Gordon.” The issues where those articles are featured are now on the moon as part of a time capsule. For perspective… smithsonianmag.com/smart-new…

You've been given the creative freedom and budget to reboot ONE comic book character/team for the big screen. Who/What is it going to be?

When my friend Sunil visited LA and asked me to autograph his copy of "The Fans Are Buried Tales," it reminded me that @ValinChris and I signed copies of the book at @pulpfictioncc last year. So head on over to Pulp Fiction in Culver City and get your own signed copy!

I contributed a new short story to @thedragonprince canon. It’s called “After Darkness.”
Some things are beyond saving... Karim discovers just how far the corruption of Lux Aurea has spread in "AFTER DARKNESS"—the latest short story from our canonical series, #TheDragonPrince: Reflections! 🪞 thedragonprince.com/afterdar…

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 43 years ago today. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect. A THREAD 1/38

I'm not saying "Rubberband Man" by the Spinners is the greatest song ever, but I'm not saying it isn't, either. youtu.be/KSMVflSBKx8

#12Monkeys is a great show from @TerryMatalas where the time travel actually holds together. And if you enjoyed @ToddStashwick in Picard, wait until you see him in this! The movie is one of my favorite films of all time and I still love the show.
Now that #StarTrekPicard is over, I'm gonna need as many people as possible to check out #12Monkeys. It delivers some of the finest time-travel storytelling in TV, and if you liked @ToddStashwick as Shaw, you'll definitely dig his time as Deacon.
