No disrespect to Josh O’Connor but we’re looking for spy, not a chef being controlled by a tiny rat under his hat

• Josh O’Connor
• Jack Lowden
• Mystery Actor
Final screen tests are set to take place next week.

Talk to me about Anne Carson. What’s the best thing to read? Had you heard of her before? (I hadn’t.) Is she measurably better than David Sedaris or Dave Barry? Be as expansive as X allows.

I wrote a novel about wealth, privilege,
NYC, the 24 hour news cycle, the internet, racism, fashion, exploitation, family, the apocalypse, then put it in a drawer,
and forgot about it for over 20 years.
Reading it was hilarious, horrifying, and like, this how we got here...

If you're friends with James Taylor, tell him he looks just fine without a hat.

The dear Sam Neill aka @TwoPaddocks was someone who joined the fun Twitter gang in the days before the site’s whole focus shifted. Newcomers cannot believe that there was for many years here a thousands strong writers room that did little more than riff jokes all day. Sam was part of it and was genuinely fun, funny, warm, thoughtful and engaging. He sought us out for an increase in his delight and in turn he boosted ours. Will we ever see such times and such a one again? I will seek him out at the winery in paradise, where he will doubtless be overseeing the harvest.

I doubt time travel happens in the future because I know you would've come back and fixed the recording levels on your podcasts by now.

Just got the new @tobyhuss book.
I love his photos and his writing and him. Beautiful, sweet, real and funny.

We announced yesterday that MGM is extending the exclusive theatrical window for PROJECT HAIL MARY so it won’t be on streaming anytime soon. This is a movie that needs to be seen on a big screen - and w a full return to IMAX screens for 1 week only starting this weekend, make plans to see it in a theater now!
Bring friends and loved ones. It’s an experience to share with others.
Ryan Gosling’s PROJECT HAIL MARY has officially gotten an extension on its theatrical window, Amazon has agreed to delay its release on Prime Video.
The movie is now expected to cross the $600M mark at the global box office, the second biggest movie in Gosling’s career.

Making a movie is so tangible and physical. Your feet hurt. Your hair gets too long. Your jeans develop character (holes). For months you are together as a crew (what a crew!) until you become a unit.
Releasing a movie on the other hand is completely abstract. You get an email saying how it’s doing. The one thing that makes it feel real are the stories people like you share about it.
A film in fact never exists by itself. It is shot out at the speed of light and sound 24 times a second and instantly disappears. It only exists in the minds and hearts of people who see and hear it and think and talk about it. So what we feel today is just immense gratitude to so many people, for seeing it early, for staying up late, for sitting in the front row all the way to the left, for reading the book, for going in blind, for bringing a friend, for your precious and generous undivided attention, for the posts and the drawings and edits and animations and costumes and homemade figurines fer crackin’ ice. You have brought the movie to life with your big beautiful empathetic human brains. You are part of the movie now. So if you are one of the 1000+ artists who worked on it or one of the folks around the world who came out and watched it…
Thank. Thank. Thank.
❤️ Chris and Phil

ANNOUNCEMENT: People are always bossing each other around on here for one damned political thing or another, but I’m going the other way by calling for a NATIONAL HOOKY DAY Wednesday afternoon to go see Project Hail Mary for a matinee showing. It’ll be my 2nd time - maybe it’ll be yours - that’s a good thing. Write in your official work schedule that you have a last minute “off-site” meeting. See you there!
(I’m also willing to forge doctor’s sick notes for a small fee.)

Ok, first impressions of Project Hail Mary: There couldn’t be a better, more faithful visual re-telling of the book imaginable. It’s really quite beautiful and very moving when it’s supposed to be and hilarious and exciting all the other times. But the visuals! It leaps off the screen with color and light and astonishing detail besides. Easily the best thing @philiplord and @chrizmillr have done in their already astonishing careers.
Go see it in a movie theater. Trust me. And try the popcorn.
