This year, after an eleven year absence, I made my return to the Sundance Film Festival and yes, there were a lot of changes but as the saying goes, plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose!

The first of my Bad Robot Action Movie Sundance mini-films. All fest I am going to be taking little clips of people, places and things and blowing them up, dropping giant rocks on them or rolling cars into them.

James Lipton was a pimp. Really. [...]
If New York City Japanese restaurant Hasaki (210 E 9th St, (212) 473-3327) has Copper River salmon, order it. Order it a lot. I am not a fan of “normal” salmon sushi, but this….this was extraordinary.
