Happy day to you, Scott!

Exciting!

Some dad joke would have come about either way 😂

Hopefully coming to a film festival near you!

But how’s the actual movie?

Two days of shooting in the books. Film’s in the can. Short to edit. Fun times ahead.

It feels fun!

Thanks so much, Dan!

Read through with two members of the cast today was incredible. Less than a week until we shoot. 🤪

Directing a short film in a week. We have a solid cast of Canadian actors attached and a terrific crew. Feels weird to be putting this out there on social media after the bird app era. Anyway, might share more again one day.

Melanie Griffith in SOMETHING WILD is a revelation.

It’s wild that the most iconic moment of SAY ANYTHING… doesn’t come at the end, but with ~20 minutes left in the movie.

Moonstruck. Still fantastic.

Knock.
Who’s there?
Knock.

Knock, knock.

Knock, knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.

HOT TAKE: I say that GHOST DOG makes @sightsoundmag.bsky.social top 100 in 20 years.

My wife told me not to burn my tongue drinking hot chocolate, and I scrunched my face and said, "Thanks Mom!" then I took a sip and burned my tongue.

Wow. Bottle Episode of The Simpsons was one of the best episodes I’ve seen. “Cover it up!”

The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Great Buc-ee’s shirt!

That’s only two Bezos weddings, though.

DODSWORTH. What a picture.

Thinking of you, Fritha.

(A version like this.)

They have these up. One team had airhorns blaring like locomotives. Intense.

Haha! Truuuuuue.

At a rink in Ajax, Ontario where parents are losing their collective minds over U9 girls hockey. It’s 1-0 in the third. These teams aren’t even rep level. Hockey in 🇨🇦 is like Football in 🇺🇸. (Yes, I’ve watched both.)
