NOOOOO!!! Saw him in Godot with Ian McKellen, an *impossible* play, and they were geniuses. GENIUSES. A huge loss for theater and film, for everyone who loved a great, great actor. RIP beloved genius. #PatrickStewart

#JenniferLawrence is getting wayyyy toooo much flack today. I made my point below. #movies
Replying to @blondspacecat
Exactly right. And I also want to point out that most actors (men, that is) get plastic surgery. Just look at their eyelids (thinking of one Irish actor in particular). Actors never get this kind of treatment. Pure misogyny.

Listen, it's been one of the great gifts of my professional life to write for #DavidFincher. If the man wants to take an effing sabbatical let him! He needs rest! #cliffbooth

Similar YDS experience. But I did not become fearless. Love this!
Sigourney Weaver says Yale drama school told her she had no talent and would never get anywhere so she became fearless at auditions "they quickly said um you have no talent and you’re never going to get anywhere. So, um, it took me years to get get over that. I think I finally have, but, um, it’s taken a long time" "I was basically a character actor, and I wanted to be a character actor. They saw me as this leading lady, but I was so unleading ladylike. You know, I wore old torn clothes from California. And, you know, they were they always gave me such a hard time about everything" "actually I think being told that you have no talent and you won’t get anywhere is a great advantage because I had friends from Yale who came expecting to be the second coming. I came not expecting to get any work and every time I went to an audition, I thought, well, I’m not going to get it. And uh so I’m just going to do what I want. And so I was incredibly fearless" "and I think that that helped me get work, ironically, because I had no illusions"

All the public James Bond speculation is PR, right? Like, the studio is testing names in the public sphere? (For the record, I like this short list, but none have that Bond sex appeal, to me. That clever mystery. And where's Jacob Elordi?) #Bond #JamesBond #movie

#Tenzing on Apple should be an excruciatingly tense nailbiter but there's a complete lack of tension and no urgency. Some of it is because of constant flashbacks -- never a good idea. Some of it is laborious exposition. Weak script. Rookie mistakes. #screenwriting

Well ok #scriptchat. Thoughts about Other Mommy making $44m?
Curious what @letterboxd has to say about Other Mommy (making $$ with a D+ CinemaScore -- but that's how it goes with horror).

How sad. Ann Hornaday has passed away.
Thinking about all the family, friends, and colleagues who loved Ann Hornaday. She was The Washington Post’s longtime film critic, but she was also generous and funny and kind and would send random notes praising your work and sign them, “Your fan, always.” 1/2

For #movies peeps here: some writers want to tell you (constantly!) how many scripts they've written this year. Don't let that intimidate you. *One* carefully crafted screenplay is far FAR better than six mediocre scripts. Skill + craft = everything. Numbers don't count! Bragging means nothing! #screenwriting #writingcommunity

As #OtherMommy is about to open, starring Jessica Chastain, you might want to revisit The Zookeeper's Wife, streaming again on Prime. She's beautiful in it. #movies2026

#EastofEden is absolutely beautiful. An enthralling, sexy, dangerous, true adaptation. Shot gorgeously. There is still a place for these period series, this proves it. #FlorencePugh is my fave actress right now. Powerhouse. Bravo to all.

Nigella's way of chewing cookies is sending me. (Can she not chew with her front teeth?) Also love that whiskey and cig voice of hers. Why do all the women (except Nigella) talk like baby dolls? Can't be just a Brit thing, my mother talked like the queen. #GBBO #GreatBritishBakingShow

Could someone please explain to me the popularity of David Sedaris? Seems so braggy and unkind and bitter to me. The coldness around his sister Tiffany is really horrible. Not even a good writer. And not very funny! I don't get it. #books #AuthorsOfTwitter #amreading

ACCORDING TO WHOM? Parasite is a very good movie. But #1?? No. Not above Michael Clayton (93?!!) or 12 Yrs A Slave or Moonlight or Tree of Life or Hurt Locker or dozens of others. Nope. #filmtwt #movies
how many have you seen out of the top 100 #filmtwt

So is the whole point of casting the #GBBO (Great British Baking Show in the US) to find three or four people who can actually bake, and the rest who are EXTREMELY IRRITATING? Is that their whole shtick now? What a waste of the exquisite @NigellaLawson!!! #GreatBritishBakingShow
