Excited for the coming year and can't wait to grab How to Dodge a Cannonball. Do you have a (rough) pub date yet?

A loose one, just waiting until it's concrete before putting anything out there. Watching game releases has made me paranoid.

What kind of cookies do you suppose?

Now there's a worthwhile experiment. Probably nothing glazed or fragile, letting those bounce around a mobile jar leaves you with a bowl of cereal. They look like health-conscious types, so I'll guess some kind of raisin.

Ok, the modern love pitch was pitch perfect (see what I did there) but heart-breaking, and I am continuing to really enjoy the pieces on advertising. But over all I thoroughly enjoyed the whole post (although I would give Transporter 4/5, but that might be nostalgia on my part since this and Revolver are my Stratham favorites, and I keep being slightly disappointed by his other movies.

Thank you! I totally get it with Transporter, when it’s going it’s a great time. I just thought the first half lagged behind. When it comes to Statham, I’m one of those nuts that loved Crank and Crank 2.

Much good in this there was.

My kid is obsessed with Star Wars right now.

Whatever the year brings for the D-Day Empire, I'm along for the ride. It "helps" to watch people younger, faster, and smarter than me succeed in all things "heart's desire." Or at the very least it makes for good "void call" set dressing. 🥂😉💜

I love the idea that one could blow up their life/career with emojis. If I did that, it would be completely by accident. I'm 90% sure I'm using them wrong 70% of the time. 🦄

Oh, the Star Wars phase is intense. And lasts...at least thirty years, if I'm a barometer.

Thanks for joining the ride. I'll try to keep it engaging. I might start auditioning a nemesis.

Emoji Hara-Kiri would be a good sport or game show, though it'd be hard to build up repeat contestants.

I have a nemesis I can lend you. He's fun at parties. At least he thinks so.

Oh no the worst cookie! But I bet you’re right.
