Not only is the amazing Bitter Guy in this anthology, but yours truly has been working on a short piece about a very obscure little cult film that happened to star Bruce Willis at the height of his career; yet bombed utterly.

One week left to back Cinematic Obsessions, which will contain my essay on Weird Al Yankovic's UHF, as well as a group of essays on other films written by a group of enthusiastic writers. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gho...

Dolly Parton was rich. Dolly Parton was not obscenely rich. The reason for that is she used the money that could have gone to getting richer to help those less fortunate instead. When people ask me "what would YOU do if YOU were that rich?" The answer is simple, I wouldn't let myself GET that rich.

This one is going to be controversial. If I had the #Epsteinfiles, I would release them, EVEN IF the victims' names could not be redacted. I know this would cause them great harm, and even put their lives at risk. But Trump has the nuclear codes. There are over 9 billion potential MORE victims.

Today I unpacked a podium that seems to have had a live bug in it at the time. Said bug intrepidity tried to eat it's way out through the Styrofoam. It failed and succumbed to thirst. But not before shredding the Styrofoam into the equivalent of #glitter.

Are you in or near #peterborough? Are you GenX? We need you for "You're History" a new live game show October 16th at The Theatre on King! It's a chance to look funny and smart in front of dozens of people and to win cheap, kitchy prizes!

I have been #groped without permission. I have been groped against my will. And while those are two different things, it's my right as the person being groped, to determine which. So I strongly recommend against groping someone against their will, because they may choose #2. And that's a crime.

Check out Look Aside Films Fund on '@filmfreeway' I've got a 15-pager with good festival response I want to submit. But I need a #director around Peterborough #Ontario and a #producer (can be the same person) who could theoretically work remote. I'd cover the entrance fee, I just need names attached

#flashfiction TW: Kidnapping I strained against the handcuffs, but the pipe held firm. I turned to face my captor. His leering grin chilled me as much as the butcher knife in his sweat soaked hand. "I'm going to grind you into burger meat." "Is that figurative?" "Wouldn't you like to know..."

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.
