spielberg waiting 60 years to make a movie about his parents’ divorce should serve as a reminder to young writers that you don’t need to cash in all your bad memories straight away. more specifically you should make half a dozen movies about aliens first

Noah Schnapp reveals his twin sister’s reaction to him coming out:
“She was ecstatic. She said that she would’ve hated the idea of me marrying another girl and having to compete with that girl for my attention...Now it’ll be a guy, she was like, ‘Oh, he’ll be my best friend.’”

so he’s saying he only wants to play… nice guys
Ryan Gosling says he is rejecting roles that are too dark for the sake of his family:
“I don’t really take roles that are going to put me in some kind of dark place. The decisions I make, I make them with Eva and we make them with our family in mind first... My kids’ interest in Barbie and their disinterest in Ken was an inspiration. I thought, they were already making little movies about their Barbies on the iPad when it happened, so the fact that I was going off to work to make one too, we just felt like we were aligned.”

“I went on the server and everything was gone. We were like, ‘Fucking shit!’… We did not [even] keep the scenes with Batman in it.”

entirely harmless tweet but at some point everyone started writing like they desperately want to be included in this canon so the most menial posts about going to the shops end with like “the enormity of my hunger is matched only by my capacity for compromise”
there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?
