“You can fight, but can you win?” Why don’t you be the judge

All Heads up toasting triumphant SNL 50th.  Advantage of not attending - got to see every second of concert and show on TV.  Quote from my children: 'Look at daddy's smile!'  Had it from start to finish.  Congratulations Lorne.  Well done as usual. #danaykroyd #nbcsnl #snl #snl50

Most DIY films fail by trying to be "commercially relevant." Make the weird, specific thing only you would make. That's your real competitive advantage.

As we close this film season, I want to say thank you for every single person that has lifted our film to the moon. Sing Sing is still in some theaters and at home on VOD. It’s been a gift of a lifetime to be able to tell this story about our humanity. Watch it and share it.

Brady Corbet, the BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind “The Brutalist,” said he's made “zero dollars” from the film. “I’ve spoken to many filmmakers with films nominated this year who can’t pay their rent,” Corbet said. “You’re not paid to promote a film.” variety.com/2025/film/awards…

me to my friends

So often in recent years, I’ve been reminded of this great exchange from “No Country For Old Men”: "It's a mess, ain’t it, Sheriff?" "If it ain’t, it'll do ‘til the mess gets here."

Dear Santa, Fund my film. I'll give you IMDB credit.

Democracy is clarity. As a student of human behavior, I believe it reflects the will of the people. The race is not over but the blame game has begun. I will not let the pundits scapegoat Black voters. I will not let you scapegoat Arab American voters. Not even the shift of Latino voters. Donald Trump was supported by White men, White women, non college educated and college educated. Suburban White women and rural White women by a majority. It’s clear that my neighbors, coworkers, and friends have no problem with a convicted felon, convicted rapist, racist, and misogynist leading their government. They share his values. People show you who they are.

I cannot fathom the feeling of the women who came forward about their sexual assault at the hands of Trump. Seeing millions of people vote for their abuser. My heart absolutely breaks for these women. I believe you, and I am so sorry.

Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity. She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.

And what do you know? Harris now winning Virginia by 70,000 votes. That will grow. See how this works? Rural areas report results faster than cities and crowded suburbs. It has always been that way. And it will be that way in AZ, WI, MI, and PA. Harris gaining ground.

until the day I die I will never understand why he was even still allowed to run after this

The thing I love about getting older is how you progressively just don’t give a fuck anymore.

Thinking about 30 Rock again. Whoever wrote Jack’s line “I worked the day shift at the graveyard and the graveyard shift at the Day’s Inn” deserves a Nobel prize in Comedy Writing.

Had to do it

ALREADY AT 1 MILLION VIEWS?!!! YES!!!!!! GO KAMALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
