COMIC RELIEF
Rainn Wilson (@rainnwilson): I would leave Twitter for Threads but I would miss the digital hurricane of toxic outrage, judgmental finger pointing, and unsubstantiated conspiracies.
Frank Conniff (@FrankConniff): Who is the auteur of a film? The director? In many instances, yes. The producer? Sometimes. The writer? Ha! Don’t I wish, but rarely. In the case of The Flash, which involves talented folks from all those disciplines, the auteur is the corporate boardroom.
Mark Russell (@Manruss): Weird to think that in two years Trump will either be in prison or dictator of the United States.
Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais): I know that the world seems a bit mental at the moment, but I’m optimistic that it will all turn out ok when humanity is wiped out.
