During the past 6-8 years, a clear message has gone out to criminals in and around the state of CA: Come commit your crimes here; we won’t prosecute you.
Criminals heard that message and set up their enterprises here. The violence and chaos in CA is a direct result of a consistent dedication by Newsom, Gascon, Bass, and others to not enforce the laws in this state. The apathy of the CA politicians regarding what is illegal here is what has increased the “violence and chaos” in CA.
I’m grateful we elected @NathanHochmanDA to replace Gascon as DA to enforce our laws, but more like him are needed in CA to replace those in office who insist on encouraging the destruction of CA.

I was sitting with an older animator watching Disney's first feature length cartoon, Snow White. We both were amazed at the film.
I asked him "How much do you think it would cost to make this today?" I'll never forget his answer...
"We can't, we don't know how to do it."

.@RickChavezZbur, this is quite irrational. You desire to make it illegal to defend one’s home, and also to defend oneself. Can you please tell us why you would introduce something so baffling and damaging to the law-aboding, tax-paying citizens of California.

I’m glad for the crews on these Apple+ and Disney projects that were able to qualify for the recent CA tax credit. However, I can’t think of two production companies that have less of a need to get an over $43m “break” each.
You know who is not benefitting at all from these CA tax incentives? The independent filmmakers who are trying to bring fresh, new, non-woke work to an audience that’s tired of offerings from the bigger companies.
This is why I’d like to see federal film grants made available for independent filmmakers who want to make non-woke films. And keep the work in the US.
Let’s make it happen. @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @VP @jonvoight @TheSlyStallone #melgibson

LOL. I know you mean well here, but most of my accomplishments have been since the age of 50. I've done much more in my 50's than I ever did before that.
After 50:
- I graduated from UCLA with a computer science and digital media management degree (started as a freshman at 46).
- Published two books, "FAME: The Hijacking of Reality," and "FACE: One Square Foot of Skin."
- Directed two film shorts (FIVE MINUTES and PUSH) and three feature films (LOOK, FEEL, and VIOLET).
- Started a non-AI film festival, the CREDO 23 Film Festival. (CREDO23FilmFest.com for passes.)
I'm currently writing two new books and casting for my new film. Acting ended for me years ago when my writing, directing, producing career took off. And I've just barely begun what I was born for, so this is the beginning for me. What I do in the future will eclipse everything I've already done.
Life is long. There is a lot around the corner.

Stop resurrecting these dead films and series and board games and toys. The living need to have their own ideas emerge as films and series. Stop pulling bodies out of the cemetery. The audience doesn’t want this. The audience wants The New and they deserve films in THIS time.

Announcer: Oh dear, that will be a point deduction.

Remembering the sublimely talented, completely amazing, forever unforgettable Olivia de Havilland, born on today's date in 1916. I loved her in so many films' some of my favorites are The Heiress, Gone With the Wind, and Hold Back TheDawn. bit.ly/2XgpZd4

In America, where we abandon our elderly in nursing homes because just leaving them in the forest is illegal. So we shouldn't be surprised when they turn to the Fox News family as a replacement for their actual family.

A sad thing about the death of DVD culture is audio commentaries. You used to be able to hear the cast of your favorite show reunite to record a commentary and one of them would be like "I'm eating Goldfish right now" and give no insight while an important scene played. It ruled.

The majors have gotten themselves into a strange place. They raced to compete with Netflix setting up their own streaming platforms which are too costly to turn a profit. Now they race their theatrical product on to the platforms to try to boost subscribers but it’s killing the theatrical life of their businesses making the titles less attractive when they arrive on the platform.

RIP Roger Corman. A great movie maker and mentor. When I was 23 he gave me my 1st shot at directing. He launched many careers & quietly lead our industry in important ways. He remained sharp, interested and active even at 98. Grateful to have known him. thewrap.com/roger-corman-dea…

Jodie Foster calls superhero movies "a phase that’s lasted a little too long for me. Hopefully people will be sick of it soon...those movies don’t change my life. Hopefully there’ll be room for everything else." variety.com/2023/film/news/j…
