Made my @Curbed debut today talking to NYC’s indie theaters as they prepare to reopen after an almost year-long shut down. Plus an update on @AlamoNYC’s Lower Manhattan location curbed.com/2021/03/new-yo…

Two years ago, I took the love of my life -- James Rocchi to the hospital. He died hours later, around 4:30 AM. One thing most people don't know is that he did not die from a heart attack, as was assumed and reported at the time. He died from an aortic dissection. 1/


So Variety not only cribbed another writer’s editorial to make up the majority of their obit, but they deadnamed them repeatedly in the process. Gross

Jerry Springer, one of TV's most controversial hosts, has died at 79. “The Jerry Springer Show” began its run in 1991, and in 1998, at the height of its popularity, beat “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in the ratings with 12 million viewers. variety.com/2023/tv/news/j…



We can debate all we want about whether the Regal Union Square was a quality venue, but in 2017 it was the 3rd highest grossing theater in *the entire country* and soon it won’t exist anymore. There’s no debating this a very bad thing for theatrical exhibition


Ok ok ONE LAST TIME

I made my peace with leaving Twitter, but still haven’t made my peace with Twitter leaving. Feels like the last night before everyone goes off to college. I know we kinda hated it here, but I loved hating it with all you


Time to say goodbye, all. I'm not active on any other social platforms, but contact info is in the bio. Hopefully we'll see each other in person soon. Peace and humptiness forever


I’ll watch Ponyo when I want and with who I want mfer

Disney’s 🤡CEO explaining how animation is strictly for kids: “I always say that when [parents] put their kids to bed at night after watching [an animated film], they're probably not going to tune into another animated movie. They want something for them."



Turns out we CAN have nice things

EXCLU: After years of development, a new NAKED GUN movie at Paramount is a go with Liam Neeson in final talks to star and Akiva Schaffer, who just directed the RESCUE RANGERS pic, helming. Seth Macfarlane is producing deadline.com/2022/10/naked-…
