Co-sold Gone Girl. Etc…
HOLLYWOOD: With all my “negative talk” I’m merely referring to the blunt realities of the business. From a purely artistic perspective I believe one only need justify it to themselves. Wrote this to act as my pinned Tweet since I’m so misunderstood... And so BLOCKED. 😂
WRITING: Reiterating what’s been said a billion times. A phenomenally written bad guy doesn’t believe they’re evil. They believe they’re the protagonist. They believe they’re HELPING mankind, not hurting. Write that antihero movie/show, you might win an Oscar/Emmy/Globe.👊🏾😘
IMPROMPTU MEETUP: At ‘Superba’ 12:15-ish. Come find me if you wanna hang. 6530 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Chill and shoot the breeze. 😎😎😎🤘🏾
SIDEBAR: What’s a good place for a couple of writers to meet up? Hollywood area. Gender neutral. @ 12pm on a Friday… today. Thanks! 👊🏾😘
DATING: let’s go dark. Women threatening men that they’re going lesbian. Great. No man is attempting to stop women from that. However, it’s interesting that my ex un-alived 1 year after marrying a woman. Yet, was alive 20+ years with me, a “dangerous toxic male.” Math🧮
The reason you HAVE to be brutally honest on the page (not tiptoe) is because they can always pull you back… *That’s an easy set of notes. …What they can’t do is tell you how to give MORE on the page. They’ll simply think you don’t have it in you. SO FUCKING GO THERE! 👊🏾😘
This is also a great point. 👇🏾 When Shari and I walked into the industry we were too young and green to know how brutally hard winning was gonna be. Gone Girl was a culmination of 20 years of grinding. We knew nothing we did would top it. And nothing did. And that’s okay.
This is why it is easier to pay your dues when you’re young. It’s easier to be delusional then.
100% agree with Luke on this one. 👇🏾 The trick is to be delusional in the right ways. Ways that advance you, not keep you stagnant. Maybe there’s a vid here. Idk. There’s something to this. Which can maybe be broken out a little more. Ultimately, anything hard in life is…
You honestly have gotta be delusional to have any chance in this industry. Landing a major recurring role on a TV show, selling a script to a studio, working with people you grew up watching, etc… these all have “I’m gonna be in the NBA” odds. So if you don’t truly believe it…
Newest member of the family. 😂 ‘Hellcat 9mm.’ This kitty is a beast. Sidebar: I know some people are against squirt guns. Despite being socially liberal, I’m for the 2nd amendment, long as you’re permitted/registered—which I am. Squirt gun safety first and foremost!
MEN’S FASHION: I like that men are taking more pride in their appearance. Particularly 30s on up. There’s a lot of reasonably priced menswear now for basics. -Weston Jon Bouchér -Suit Supply -Collars & Co. Etc. -Thursday Boots (for boots and leather sneakers - incredibly well…
THE LIMO driver exposing the Tea 🫖 on women cheating is hilarious. They have no idea he’s listening and taking notes. 📝 😂 I need to find his channel. Cheating on an MLB player is savage. A rich, handsome, buff, famous dude ain’t good enough now? 🤣
Hot MEN now making vids walking down the street and all the women checking him out/hitting on him. To prove the point it goes both ways. Guys are turning the tables. 😂😂😂👊🏾
