WatchFireball: The John Gruber Story
It’s an honor to have been involved in Dan’s project. Frankly, this is the kind of role every actor waits for his whole life. What a cast. And, Kubrick made us reshoot the drinking scene almost 300 times.

Playlist: Murder in the City + Covers
Still obsessed with this song, and apparently I’m not alone. Given that the tune was released in 2008, there are already a remarkable number of cover versions on YouTube.

TONS of public domain Shep stuff is up on Archive.org. I’ll be going through this for happy months.

Hervé Villechaize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
…Villechaize never got over losing his job, and for the remainder of his life practiced an often nightly ritual of drinking in a darkened room while screaming obscenities at an episode of Fantasy Island playing on his television.
A happy life means learning to enjoy the rituals. Y’know. The little things.

☕ Twitter Break Luxuriously Extended
Hi, Twitter friends and sundry curious rubberneckers.
I’m still on a break from (writing and posting to) the Twitter, although I do enjoy continuing to follow all your wacky hijinks. You guys sure are nutty. Anyhoo.
People asked, so here’s the deal: I don’t expect to be back on Twitter any time soon. Got too many other things I’m working on right now, and, as much as I...

In this short outtake from The Noises Rest, Tiborg, Evan, and Lanolin share a few of the films that have benefited from their unmistakeable Foley gold.

An Idea for starting the new year. Still evolving (including the sub-domain FIXED), but I think this should be a lot of fun.
