Posting about whatever interests me, and sometimes promoting my book (amazon.com/dp/B07MCQ84TF) or my youtube channel (youtube.com/@thatnorwegianthomas).

My recent letterboxd activity and my 1 to 5 star rating: Meantime (1983), three and a half stars. The Thin Man (1934), four stars. Interstellar (2014), four and a half stars. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026), three stars.

Swartzwelder talks about how much time and attention he spends on his scripts, saying: "All of my time and all of my attention. It's the only way I know how to write, darn it. But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don’t want you to do that.” “Then I won’t do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done. It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I’ve taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it."

King Dagda, commonly referred to as The Fairy King, from the 2015 animated film "Strange Magic". He has a white beard and pointy ears. Some could reasonably suggest his look is based on George Lucas, who came up with the story for the film.

A tweet from me, dated July 9, 2021. It's a photo from Sex and the City with Cyntia Nixon, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kristen Davis. Kim Catrall has been edited out, leaving only her outline filled with stars and blue-green swirly space. The caption reads: HBO still trying to pretend the SATC revival isn't a stealth THE LEFTOVERS sequel.
Screencap of a tweet by me, dated July 2, 2023. It's two pictures of Carrie Fisher and Peter Weller at a party in the late '70s. The caption reads, "Pretty sure that's Peter Weller's glasses, not Harrison Ford." It has five replies, thirty-four retweets, 1.7K likes, and 72 bookmarks.

Portman getting fitted for Padmé's funeral gown: a long flowing blue/green dress. "I think they call it the 'End Dress," Portman would say, speaking of her costume. "It's really, really beautiful. I think [costume designer] Trisha [Biggar] wanted to get an ocean sense. Someone said to me that it was very 'Ophelia.' With the flowers and the hair, it does look like I'm drowning."
George Lucas with a cane.
Concept art for Mace Windu's office by Marc Gabbana. Mace is sitting behind a desk. Behind him is a desk with venetian blinds, which was included because the movie would be playing with certain film noir styles of the '40s and '50s. He is talking with another Jedi.
