In Praise of Natalie Wynn | 4 must-watch videos
Nolan films and YouTube heroes--we're really shilling for clicks today at the Budafoki amended. I find Natalie to be a refreshingly sane person and a remarkably self-aware thinker. With argumentation so good it makes you forget the laughs are legit, and the production values simply extravagante, she could well be the only Internet figure posterity … Continue reading In Praise of Natalie Wynn | 4 must-watch videos
Semi-short and bittersweet Nolanology for kvetches
Tenet is a goofy film. You have to be a really intellectual auteur to be allowed to work on such silly timey wimey stuff.
The Return: the Odyssey considered as limited series | pilot pitch
Golden sunbeams cut through the window upon an adolescent girl napping on what looks like a Roman couch, something regal about her attire—NAUSICAA. She is awoken by her handmaidens as ornate chests open and gilded dresses are heaped upon naked shoulders. They treat her with deference, but there is laughter and banter. They bid her … Continue reading The Return: the Odyssey considered as limited series | pilot pitch

Ah, the morning shower person. Watch, as he crawls out of bed dragging the duvet with him. Soon he will find his way out of the bed sheets and emerge bipedal. It's fascinating.

The airport is turning itself inside-out and municipal, a place where you hand over yourself to the … Continue reading At the airport when the borders have closed
What is ‘writing,’ anyway?
We don't always talk about the same thing when we talk about writing. Creative writing workshops always assume plot and characters like that's the garden variety. But when people tell me that they write, and indeed regularly, I never have a clue what they're talking about. Are they journaling? Working on an idea for prose … Continue reading What is ‘writing,’ anyway?

You own the song already | beginner guitar for ADHDs
You own the song already. You've been singing it for so long, mentally. You've been performing it, mentally, for an audience of you and your multitudes. You own the song but you can't play it yet. There are too many bass-walks and hammer-ons. There are upstrums. Soon as you get past the first couple measures … Continue reading You own the song already | beginner guitar for ADHDs
