My best pull was picking up a girl at my Uncle Walter's funeral

It is brilliantly bonkers

I have a pretty good Michael Jackson story but this is not the place for it

Better Man

Feel dirty admitting it but I enjoy attending bullfights. That said I have no sympathy for injured matadors and even think we should level the playing field a bit more. Tweak the rules to make it a 50-50 proposition

Legal and readily available undiluted MDMA

Designer once told Joel Schumacher that he could not get something done. Joel: "That sounds like a you problem. I'm old and no one wants to fuck me. That sounds like a me problem. Guess which one I'm going to work on"

My favorite Bert Sugar memory was chatting with him about a controversial boxing decision and he told me to look behind the fighter at whose interests he furthers. "Wheels within wheels kid. Wheels within wheels". I hear him saying that in my mind a lot regarding politics.

100% agree. The editorial decision to shift from reporting on sports to opining on sports has had terrible results

Browns could draft Brandon Weeden. I mean Johnny Manziel. I mean DeShone Kizer. I mean Shadeur Sanders. I mean (sobs uncontrollably)

I know you can't fight progress and their job is to chase ratings but it went to hell when it moved from the theatre at the Garden to Radio City. I ran into Bert Sugar first year at RCMH and he was perplexed. "Kid, all this to own the rights to student athletes? makes no sense to me"

I used to push back hard on shit like this based on the fact that The Cleve was more sophisticated than Cincyltucky and all the hypocrite Christian dumbfucks south of Columbus. Now that The Land voted MAGA twice though fuck em all. I hate that I'm from there

Fucking crap country we live in that there isn’t even proper high speed rail

"The Devil Wears Prada 2" feels more like a product than a movie The massive marketing campaign for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is degrading the film's earnest, chic legacy.

Well when you hire a mediocre director and make a crap sequel saturation marketing is the best chance you have. Good money after bad imho. Frankel getting another bite at the apple is a prime example of affirmative action for wealthy well-connected white people.

Booked a resort right on the beach for Christmas Break but highly unlikely my family makes it there. Flights are crazy expensive now and only likely to go up. I'll be damned if I'm paying 5K to fly a family of four to Florida and back

It's quite a different process on the coasts but honestly you're better off. Production is down 30% globally and you see people who used to only do the biggest features gladly take television gigs

Any hospital in NYC looks and operates at an exponentially lower standard

Bumrungrad International in Bangkok is as good as it gets.

Release date for this and cannot wait to get mine for a long overdue rewatch

Also the Exec who called doesn't hire me but they do call the Producer and tell them how quickly and thoroughly I diagnosed the problem and that they fucked up by not hiring me

Someone needs to ask him if he would have won it on day one like he did in Ukraine

Nope. Just gave them the tweak about who they had hired and reminded them that I also travel well next time they are setting up a picture

Americans buy most of the Cartels cocaine and sell the cartels most of their guns but sure, immigrants from south of the border are the problem here.

My favorite Sicario story is the well known twitter account bragging that the CIA operator with the glasses was based on his best friend IRL. I asked the director Denis who laughed and said nah that's just a fictional character

Indie studio I know called me in a panic as they were blindsided by massive difficulty filming in midtown Manhattan during World Cup. Gave them detailed list of restrictions they face and surprise that the cheaper less experienced LM they had hired hadn't been aware. Hope the savings was worth it

Was it the douche from John Brown smokehouse? Guy had the only real 'burnt ends' I ever had in NYC (and most other places) and I stopped eating there because of his politics. And I'll go to Vienna just to eat Tafelspitz so you know that guy was a monster.

Much like John Muir start in SF and head due East

Dershowitz has been a Republican in all but name his entire life. He only identified as Democrat for social reasons. When everyone got so sick of what an asshole he is anyway he went ahead and took the mask off

BTW shame on the idiot country #5. I looked at some amazing island resorts there for The White Lotus but they passed anti-LGBTQ laws while I planned the director scout so NOPE

2 through 5 are all places I either scouted or was in the rough vicinity of to scout. I'm pretty much a dopey American unless someone paid to send me there
