Just saw the Bright trailer. The first Will Smith film in a long while I’m actually anxious to see. And again, would make a killer series instead of just a movie. youtu.be/6EZCBSsBx…


Increasingly, I’m thinking a lot of properties getting snatched up for movies would be better served from a story standpoint by being a miniseries.

The story of Ready Player One is begging for an 8-10 episode series.


I have mixed feelings about the Ready Player One trailer. Visually, it looks fantastic. But is it going to lose so much greatness from the story by condensing down into a 2.5 hour movie?


So I launched something new and fun today with a couple of friends: www.bigfatgeekpodcast.com/2017/07/2…


Happy birthday to the Wonder Woman I’m married to! I love you, sweetheart!


Happy Gabriel Allon Day, everyone!!
