The mainstream media’s coverage of the campus protests against the Gaza genocide is actually worse, more biased, more dishonest, than its coverage of the Gaza genocide itself, which I actually didn’t think possible.

None of the ongoing campus protests have become violent until police have gotten there. For students and teachers, it’s about peacefully expressing opposition to genocide. For cops, it’s about their favored trifecta of abuse, power and violence. #Occupy4Gaza #CampusProtests

A very heartfelt tribute to Martha Coolidge from #NicolasCage , who said his audition for “Valley Girl” was going to be the last one before he gave up acting to join the Merchant Marines and write short stories at sea. She picked his picture from the reject pile. American Cinematheque

Writing is such a solitary, often really lonely thing that it’s nice to hear from other writers and to draw strength and inspiration from such a wide range of them.

30 years ago I stopped by Cheap Thrills Records & Tapes after school to find a used cassette of #Nirvana ’s “Incesticide,” & was told by the guy at the counter they’d found #KurtCobain ’s body that day. Everything after was very surreal, as I’d just seen them live 3 months earlier.

The terrifying reign of The Night Stalker, when no one knew where he’d kill next throughout the state, and going to the backlot of Universal Studios for the 1st time, were both incredibly formative parts of my childhood. #MaXXXine is EXTREMELY my shit: youtu.be/y0uS3t6nFgY?si…

Jane Schoenbrun, Justice Smith & Brigette Lundy-Paine screening #ISawTheTVGlow , a nakedly personal, deeply haunting expression of transformation seen thru the prism of fan obsession. Stunning performances & sadness like a knife in your heart won’t be easy to shake for some time.

#TheFirstOmen is a genuinely unsettling, rotting gothic fairy tale ride. Arkasha Stevenson and Nell Tiger Free have a ton of skill…and a lot of balls. Stevenson really loves watching people’s faces and letting an actor’s eyes express volumes.

Happy 100th to the great #marlonbrando , the most gifted actor to have worked in the craft and one of the most passionate, forcefully intelligent artists our culture ever produced. #CeasefireNOW #HumanRights #NativeAmerican

Birthday wishes from this monster kid to the great #RobBottin , the madman makeup genius behind THE HOWLING, THE FOG, THE THING, LEGEND, ROCOCOP and SE7EN. #Cinema #makeupeffects #JohnCarpenter #RidleyScott #PaulVerhoeven #DavidFincher #JoeDante

Charley Parkhurst was a tobacco-chewing, cursing, gambling California stage driver who migrated west during the Gold Rush to live life on their own terms. It’s a life that’s moved & fascinated me for a long time, and one of the stories I’m working on. #TransDayOfVisibility
