Well, now it's public, so I'm thrilled to say that this crazy Ninja Turtles fan (me) is writing the feature film adaptation of #TheLastRonin . Truly a dream come true.

I have such fond memories of brainstorming and building the story for Alan Wake 2 with @SamLakeRMD years ago. An incredibly talented team took those ideas further than I could have ever imagined and created a masterpiece. Huge congrats to everybody involved.

The CHILD'S PLAY reboot is an erudite socio-Marxist satire of American consumerism. Well...no. Not even. But it's pretty funny.

A nearby couple at the coffee shop was arguing over who sang a particular song. It made me curious, so I looked up the song on my phone... and then accidentally started playing a loud video of the song from my phone for everybody to hear. So that was pretty awkward for a sec.

I had a dream that Star Wars IX took place in Victorian London with no explanation why. The main conflict revolved around Kylo Ren trying to implement a controversial new streetcar line. Fans realized both sides had a point. The left and right united. JJ Abrams saved America. โค๏ธ

I bought a standing desk last year, and over time I've developed a strange habit of intermittently standing on one leg while writing. Like a flamingo. If I start doing something else on my computer then my leg naturally comes down. ...So there's that.

Remember that time in 2012 when a massive maple syrup heist went down in Canada and over $18 million of maple syrup was taken and the police had to infiltrate a black market maple syrup ring to bust the criminals? Because I think about it on a weekly basis.

Apparently there was an American Pie TV show before the movie. Based on the description, looks like they went with a more literal approach.

Every time I watch a new movie trailer I'm expecting that moment where they show a flurry of vaguely dramatic shots matched up to a slowed-down cover version of a song that was popular 20 years ago... and every time I find it completely satisfying.

Sometimes I call tech support, they suggest restarting my device, it fixes the problem immediately, then I pretend that I already tried that but it didn't work and continue the conversation until I can claim a later suggestion worked to avoid looking like the complete idiot I am.
