I’ve almost been a professional screenwriter more times than I care to count. And several agents’ assistants have loved my books, even if their bosses didn’t.

I’ve seen so many variations of this story and they all forget the most important profit center of all for these movies: the toys and the merchandise. That’s where the money is. Just ask Jack Nicholson. 🎥 #movies #boxoffice

@cnn.com WTH is this “World Sport” show on halfway through “The Lead” on CNN Max? We are supposed to get one hour of Jake’s two hour program, and you’re cutting in for sports? The guide literally says Jake is supposed to be on but it’s not.
