A very good message. Best wishes to you, Devin.
This is a good story. Check it out.
Here’s a link to the actual story: www.esquire.com/entertainmen...
I got to break out the family Bible for this one …
Mike Flanagan is having a big day. Carrie drops tonight, and here is a look at what he has planned for The Exorcist next year…
Wonderful profile of the phenomenal Samantha Sloyan by the great @brezwrites.bsky.social for Esquire. Cannot wait for you guys to see what she does on this show... www.esquire.com/entertainmen...
A little tease of something coming later today at Esquire… Mark 5:9 🙏😈
Carrie’s Mom Has Got It Going On
Meet Samantha Sloyan, although … you’ve met before.
This is a strange kind of story, I admit.
Part book review, part personal remembrance, and part interview with @pattonoswalt.bsky.social
I hope you like it. It meant something to me.❤️
It’ll be scary, for sure. But don’t let it overwhelm you. You’ll be okay, I’m sure of it. I think sometimes the universe tries to lift up our heads to show us there are better uses for our time and efforts.
We are at a time of life where work should make us happy as well as pay the bills. I hope you find somewhere that values you and brings out your best. I sure did. The number of people who stepped up for me are too many to count. My unsolicited advice is just — don’t be afraid.
I know this is destabilizing, and don’t want to presume to know your full situation. All I can share is that this happened to me a year ago. I would have stayed and worked like crazy for my old shop. So it was a true blessing to be let go. I got bumped from a flight that later nosedived.
Stephen Root appreciation 🏆
This man has been training his whole life for #WidowsBay
I wrote about his unique legacy of weirdness here: It starts with a monkey licking his forehead, and gets stranger from there.
I spoke to Courteney Cox about directing the wonderful EVIL GENIUS, about the 2003 pizza delivery man bomber and the pretty insane story behind it. And how FRIENDS played an unlikely role. (I really enjoyed this one.)
Who do you trust? Hubba, hubba, hubba. Money, money, money…
Thank you so much for reading it!!
Kenneth Branagh says Robin Williams was constantly “fireworking,” Christopher Nolan has an eerie way of bending time in real life, and Robert De Niro has no patience for other method actors.
All this and lots more for #filmsky people in search of a longread this fine Sunday:
Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you! Very kind of you, Matt.
He would love knowing that!
