It happens this weekend. If you watch the patterns, Trump hates Camp David. He always goes to Maralago or Bedminster. They isolate him at CD and either the 25th happens or Impeachment happens. Don’t underestimate how shook the power structure is right now.
The Senate is the holiest of Holy’s. They were lucky that the invasion was just the hillbillies. Imagine what a trained strike team could have done, or the hostage situation that could have ensued, particularly since they were “looking for” Pence and Pelosi...
That’s why behind the scenes there will be more of a bipartisan effort do something. Because the whole game is at risk. The fact that his Twitter is quiet and aides are backing away shows that the chess game is in play.
Remember Omar “You come at the king, you best not miss”. That’s why everyone’s going on record with the 25th Amendment possibility. Dems have the House, the Senate and soon Justice. And Treasury will soon want a word. His self pardon power is toothless. He’s surrounded.
It’s the small tells. Every Ex president releasing a statement, John Kelly , all the Generals and respected Homeland officials like Jeh Johnson, the dog whistle they’re sending is giving the Pols the stomach for the 25th or a second impeachment. Historic days ahead.
And the fact that a Capitol police officer is now dead, Barr is gone (and condemning him) and Federal prosectors talking about charges (and there’s a hell of a paper trail) ...you couldn’t script this better.

To not be sad for a minute...to fully appreciate the genius of Cobra Kai, watch "The Karate Kid" and then watch the series. The characterization is genius. The show is going to blow up on Netflix.
The thing you have to appreciate is something I learned at Marvel: every villian is the hero of their own narrative. The irony is that William Zabka is now Pat Morita: a super in a run down building. And Daniel LaRusso is the villian. It's a class flip.
And the fact that they use "Iron Eagle", the original Guru of color helps hapless white boy reach his full potential as a launching point for Zabka is so double meta. It also proves a fact that, given enough time, there's something classic in everything.

As good as School Daze is, the directing leap that Spike Lee makes from School Daze to Do the Right Thing to Mo Betta Blues to Jungle Fever to Malcolm X in less than 5 years is astounding. Back to back. Every single year. You just gotta keep at it.
Most important screenwriting lesson my uncle and John Singleton taught me is to watch movies constantly. To rewatch and rewatch. Film es otra lengua como espanol. The only way to become fluent is to constantly practice.
The advantage the younger generation has is that all these films are at your fingertips on Netflix. You don't have to build the massive DVD and Bluray collection (although you need them later for the commentaries).

Watchmen is amazing. I have no idea where it's going...and that's a great thing. Sometimes as Fanpeople we adhere so close to the mythology, we want things to match what we're familiar with. Damon took a much tougher road....
He wanted an audience to experience the same mindfuck we felt thirtysomething years ago when Watchmen dropped as a comic...it's a true adaptation because this show has adapted the previous mythology and evolved...
If the comic was ragtime, and Zach Snyder's adaptation was swing, Lindelof's "Watchmen" is BeBop. It's taken the chords of a standard and flipped them inside out, the way Charlie Parker turned "Cherokee" into "Koko."
