For all his brilliant sketches, bits and performances, this message about kindness and living without cynicism is one of my favourite Conan moments

RIP Paul Auster I love Smoke, his collaboration with director Wayne Wang, so very, very much

Paul Auster was a guiding light for me growing up. Not only did I worship his books, he made a movie that absolutely changed my life and introduced so many of the concepts I live by to this day. He was a great thinker, a sly magician, and a hell of a storyteller. RIP

Can’t believe the news about Steve Albini. I was lucky to have traveled in his circle while making the Silkworm doc and got to see firsthand how much love he had for his friends and his community. He will truly be missed by so many people. RIP

Watching Summer of Sam with the Spike Lee and John Leguizamo commentary track and thinking about how cool movies are

This Spike Lee and John Leguizamo commentary for Summer of Sam is starting to give the John Carpenter and Kurt Russell commentaries a run for their money

David Harper has single handily reignited my love for comics as a creator-forward art form, he’s elevating the discussion and making it much more about craft than the nerdy stuff. Read/listen to his stuff!

Always a blast yucking it up with these folks. Listen!

LA- I’ve got a free ticket to the Synecdoche, NY screening at the Egyptian tonight if anyone wants it (maybe two if this dude doesn’t get back to me in time). Charlie Kaufman will be there!

Zemeckis took Harvey Keitel’s character’s art project from Smoke and made a whole movie out of it.

Loved loved loved Martin Mull. RIP Barth Gimble

Jason Reitman‘s SATURDAY NIGHT? Call me when it’s Gus Van Sant‘s FRIDAYS.

This was the most fun ever (even when I was sort of half falling asleep from Mushroom Chill Juice)! Like! Subscribe! Take a nap!

In an effort to throw the algorithm, I’d like to turn your attention to Tony Hendra and Heathcliff, the cartoon cat. Both are similarly named and much more deserving of your time.

This is Gen Z’s The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

Be the hero Tom Cruise knows you can be this holiday season: Turn off motion smoothing on your family’s TV.

started crying watching this and then guffawed at the end
