They don’t cast ‘em like this anymore. His legacy lives on in the work. 🥂
I’m serious, not every one of these rich pieces of garbage are protected by paid security. They can be gotten to. I’m not advocating, I’m just saying.
Suggestion: write an article about “Why do so many people think Donald Drumpf is dead?” Bet you get way more clicks.
The other guys should get out alright! I have one place in particular he can go.
Episode 96 is now live! The pod’s good friend George Gallo pulls out all the stops with his choice of Sydney Pollack’s Castle Keep. Listen at the link below or on Apple Podcasts. www.literateape.com/i-like-to-wa...
That slouchy punk in the white shirt and smug face needs a hard kick in the dick.
If you live in/around D.C., perhaps consider never ordering from this gestapo-supporting pizza joint. I bet it tastes a little fascist.
Shouldn’t be too hard for folks in D.C. to avoid ever ordering from Wiseguy Pizza. And apparently douchebros Vance & Hesgeth had Shake Shack with their jagoff private police yesterday. Just sayin…
That douchebro with the smug smirk and shitty posture is SO F’ing punchable. I’d like to put his mug on one of those 80s inflatable thingies that were around when we were kids and do horrible things to it.
Apparently Jackson considered him for Saruman. I’d have to call Pete to confirm 🤣
Yikes. Better pop some vitamins… or a lot of whiskey. Maybe both?
You’re a badass!
Episode 95 is now live! @donniesmith.bsky.social digs deep into his frequent viewing of WWII pics and surprises @donhall.bsky.social with Lee Marvin and Co. in The Dirty Dozen. Listen at the link below or on Apple Podcasts. www.literateape.com/i-like-to-wa...
Saw it. Loved it. Check it.
And I have mad respect for you, so… now I find myself in a bit of a quandary.
I’ll never understand the appeal of watching Seth Rogen do anything. But I like shitty horror movies, so what do I know.
South Park holy sh*t
I lit Scarlett Johansson’s cigarette outside the Cruise/Wagner office on the Paramount lot about 20 years ago.
Episode 93 is now live! @donhall.bsky.social & @donniesmith.bsky.social are joined by legendary street artist Morley and discuss his pick—1950’s classic Sunset Boulevard. Also available on Apple Podcasts. www.literateape.com/i-like-to-wa...
I would’ve killed to be in these rooms: 1) Columbo 2) Golden Girls 3) M*A*S*H 4) Kolchak 5) Werewolf Old soul? Guess it’s a good thing I’m not gunning for a writers’ room position these days. That said, to anyone looking to revive these dope f***ing legacy shows: I’m DOWN!!!
Episode 92 is now live! @donniesmith.bsky.social picks one of his favorites featuring his movie boyfriend—Ryan Gosling in “Drive.” www.literateape.com/i-like-to-wa...
So what do we do about their obvious lies and obfuscation as our democracy implodes? There is no enforcement of the law (let alone “norms”), there are no consequences and zero contingencies for what’s happening with these people who are running rampant.
👏👏👏
Cheers to you, Slick!
He’s such a jagoff. And that’s me being kind.
My loves. Summertime on the stoop; blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

I’ll keep an eye on it and hit you up when the time’s right. Best wishes. Looking forward to it.
I’ll add that I absolutely adored your Gandolfini book. As an actor and fan it hit me really in the heart and gut.
Once you do, may I be the first to invite you on our podcast to talk about it?! Clearly you like to watch and so do we. This was in our nascent stage, the audio quality has gotten better. www.literateape.com/i-like-to-wa...
I think most who read and pay attention do understand. It’s the feeling of helplessness to do fuck all about it that’s excruciating.
Ladies & Gentlemen, Your Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
They’re all complicit at this point. They haven’t done shit to help, to stymie, obstruct, NOTHING. FUCK THEM ALL. The bombs drop. People die. I see headlines about how hard it is to get a Switch 2. We’re all fucked.
Hey @schumer.senate.gov looks like your piss boy @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social beat you to the punch on posting a dickless letter. Fuck the both of you jagoffs!!
Good evening @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you doing good? I’m not. Just got your letter and wanted to say, FUCK YOU!!! DO BETTER, TRY HARDER. The fuck does your pissant “letter” do to change shit, you sellout punk?!
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
That said, my guess is the security threat level against the dumb ass in chief has grown exponentially from folks within our borders since he keeps dicking over every single one of us regardless who voted for this shitshow.
Hey @schumer.senate.gov you gonna send another strongly worded letter once the nukes launch?
Well then it’s time for that nation to follow through, hopefully more strategically than how we do shit.
I’ll just never understand anyone who sees/listens to their garbage and says, “Yup, those are the people I trust to lead us.” Just…never. And no amount of conversation will convince me.
A former boss said, “There are no friends in Hollywood.” While that was true of him & others that have come and gone over the course of 20+ years in L.A., there are a select few that are die hard. Cheers to the teachers & mentors. Keep doing what you do; it means the world to kids young & old.

There was a brief, glimmering moment of hope (not unlike when Drumpf got Covid) that things might change for the better with just one of them gone.
Hope the surgery to get her head removed from Drumpf’s ass goes well.
Episode 91 is now live! In honor of Father’s Day @donniesmith.bsky.social had his dad on to talk top 5s.
Proud of all of you who went out and did your civic duty today!
When do the street gangs team up to fight ICE?
I second @entitledwillennial.bsky.social, they’re not good. But dammit if they aren’t entertaining as hell. I think, for those of us who grew up with them (especially if you saw any at the cinema), they hit a lot differently than anyone watching them now for the first time.
C. 2005, Paramount lot. ScarJo was sitting on a curb outside the Gower entrance. Her Bic lighter wasn’t working, so I asked if she wanted a light. She returned the favor with a smile and thank you. Always carry a Zippo, ya never know when it’ll come in handy.
As a former motorcyclist (got hit by someone on a phone) I second your invitation!

Check this piece ILtW cohost @donhall.bsky.social wrote; “the concept of a work of art representing the city-as-character between NYC and Chicago—2 world class towns in an almost relentless competition with each other.”
Fuck this BS. I want to get on my BMX, go grab a pack of Garbage Pail Kids, get a Slurpee, maybe a meatball sub, and rent two for one VHS at Classic Video. I’m old, but it was WAY cooler in the 80s/90s when you only knew box office if some rich jagoff you knew had access to variety or the reporter.
Once saw a man taking a pants-off dump at a bus kiosk at La Cienega & San Vicente while I was stopped at a red light. I was concerned what he was gonna use to wipe.
I hope, and unfortunately expect, to see more of this “good trouble” community uprising in every place these fascist cowards are “just following orders.”
Guess everyone’s gotta fly their own way eventually. They’ve both given such joy. At least we can revisit @marcmaron.bsky.social episodes.
Episode 90 is now live! @donhall.bsky.social is starting to slowly mine the “Twenty Perfect Movies” and chooses one of his favorite films by the Coen Bros. Listen at Apple Podcast or the link below.

Burr ain’t wrong, but it’s also lost on the folks who need to hear it most.
While I truly love Cruise, he’s gotten a bit long in the tooth with this series IMO. At the risk of being ageist, Voight was 58 in the first M:I, Cruise is now 62. FINIS
I believe watching the 3 prior, starting w/Rogue Nation, covers the through line of this most recent release.

Just got my PS2 hooked up again and it’s just so much more fun. Graphics aren’t as great as modern consoles, but the playability is so much better. I gotta look into one of those SNES Classics. Maybe Santa will bring me one.
Oh, I didn’t mean that to come across as an apology for using the library, just that I can’t afford the purchase right now. I quite admire my library and use it frequently. The Vermont Square Branch opened in March 1913 as the first library building built by the City of Los Angeles!

@jasondashbailey.com I haven’t worked in two years, so I’m broke, but I do have a library card and am STOKED to finally get my mitts on this. Cheers and congrats!
I’ll never forget finally reading the solution in Ebert’s book Questions for the Movie Answer Man!

I’m old. I get it… I feel bad for kids these days. When I wanted to play a video game I turned on my tv and system, slotted a game and was on my way to hours of enjoyment. When I go to play these days it takes no less than 10 mins to start the game, and that’s IF I don’t have to “update.”
Thanks to @corryn.bsky.social for today’s find.

From your mouth to god’s ears.
Whoever wins, we all lose.
Oh to be a fly on the wall of that table read. Wow!
Absolutely love this one and it’d be a killer move if they brought it back. You KNEW you were about to see something exciting when this came on!!!
And now how long before they raise their prices again to pad bonuses for the brain trust that came up with this BS?
I have a fear of jumping in with thoughts w/folks I’ve never met IRL because my inner voice is always like, “oh that’s obvious,” or “oh that’s a dumb thought.” There are a lot of people smarter than me, so I stay pretty quiet. It’s also why I don’t post a lot and am terrible at networking.
Except I was TOTALLY right about Den of Thieves 2 based on the trailer. Lol
How long before they raise their prices so viewers pay for the rebranding and Zas’ soon-to-be bonus for being a “genius?”
I hope they feel the hurt they wanted imposed on others with their vote. Also have similar feelings for those who abstained from voting.
Epic! I still get excited chills watching this. Brings me right back.
This jagoff is pushing 80 on a diet of McDonalds, racism and xenophobia, yet has the audacity to complain about the upkeep of a 40 year old plane. I mean… Christ almighty.
