Celebrating Marlon Brando’s 100th birthday with Hollywood legend Mike Medavoy at the Academy Museum

Scott Alexander: “My real life is totally inhibited: A cliched domestic existence, happily playing in my yard with my wife and kids. But through the scripts, I’m able to act out and scream at everything that bugs me. The loudmouths vent on my behalf.' gointothestory.blcklst.com/screenwriting-…

Everything you could possibly want from a movie about LA. The new restoration looks incredible. A joy to scour every shot for 1962 street signs and restaurants.

We will be there on 4/20. 👍👍 Details are here: ebertfest.com/films/man-moon

Roger Ebert was a hero of mine - started reading him when I was 10. He taught me to love Bergman & Altman. So I feel honored that his wife Chaz has invited us to screen “Man on the Moon” for the 25th anniversary of Ebertfest - the film celebration Roger founded in Champagne, IL👍

“Nobody else would have dared it because nobody else would have thought of it! Sammy Maudlin and his 11 pals - and that crazy night they blew the lights at Desilu!...” #crisshapan

RIP Joe Flaherty, one of the funniest people of all time! God was he funny on SCTV! Count Floyd, Guy Caballero, wow, did Joe have unique rhythms and verbal attacks. Comic gold. I had the pleasure of once directing Joe. He was a total sweetheart. Yes, you can meet your heroes.

RIP Joe Flaherty #SCTV - He made me laugh so many times in so many sketches but the first bit I thought of was “Dan Money” where he plays a cop who has to make a bribe every time he asks a question.

Happy birthday to Ali MacGraw, who turns 85 today!

The town I grew up in Indiana celebrates the strangest holiday on Easter Monday - “Dyngus Day” - which consists mostly of politicians buying sausage & beer in an attempt to win favor of the large Eastern European population. Bobby Kennedy even showed up when he ran for President.

The proper way to celebrate Easter

To celebrate the end of March - here is a march through the M section of my movie soundtrack collection

So excited for this

I think I directed that bit…or maybe it directed itself. #BeyondOurControl

Bert Kerns has a new book on the Brando mystique in which he allows me to ramble on about what made Marlon so special.

QT is the only person who can get me panicking that I’m going to be sold out of a “Five Fingers of Death” midnight show.
