Anyone out there saving
@Booksmart
for another day, consider making that day TODAY. We are getting creamed by the big dogs out there and need your support. Don’t give studios an excuse not to green-light movies made by and about women. 💪❤️💪
Next up are my favorite movies and TV shows of 2019. Of course, there’s also American Factory, a film from our own production company, Higher Ground, that was recently shortlisted for an Oscar. Here’s the full list:
Between 3 and 5 AM my daughter poured ice water on my pillow and then screamed at me for not knowing the plot of the movie Abominable. Not sure when she joined a frat.
My son popped a balloon in a packed crowd of commuters in London and no one panicked. Except me. I nearly hit the deck. Are Americans traumatized? I‘m so tired of assuming the absolute worst.
A wide release for a small film is def a major gamble. I’m lucky my first movie is in any theater at all! Also proud a movie like this can be seen by the entire country at once. We made
@Booksmart
for everyone. 🐼

I am so sick of men using their daughters as evidence of their empathy for women. I don’t care if you have a daughter or a pet turtle. You shouldn’t need to raise a woman to know not to disrespect us. This speech is fierce and true. Please rise for
@AOC
🙌
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: "Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter, too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter."
I finally had the chance to watch an edited version of Booksmart on a flight to see exactly what had been censored. Turns out some airlines work with a third party company that edits the movie based on what they deem inappropriate. Which, in our case, is ... female sexuality? 🤔
Tried watching Booksmart on the plane and they cut the ENTIRE lesbian hookup scene like not even a KISS was allowed! oh but don't worry guys, the Straights got their kiss 🙄
Excuse me but how fucking insane is it that gay and bisexual men still cannot donate blood or plasma in this country? Is there an exception during this emergency? cc: The FDA.
I have my own version of Stanley Tucci’s super cool Negroni video except it’s me in sweatpants chugging from a wine bottle inside the fridge door while pretending to find more string cheese.
You are a coward,
@IvankaTrump
. Your father gassed his own people, including priests, for a photo opp. What do you know about love? You cannot fool us with your petty multicolored emoji hearts. Shame on you for your complicit silence.

Thank you to everyone seeing
@Booksmart
(some of you multiple times with more and more friends!) we are so grateful and truly can’t handle how awesome you are. 🐼
We are blown away by the response to
@booksmart
. For real. This is us, all day: 🤯. So many people worked SO hard to make it happen, and your love for the movie is beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you. One billion times, thank you.
This cast is B A N A N A S. I’m the happiest director in the world. To say that I’m honored/excited/elated/shitting myself would be a massive understatement.
So I just totally obliterated a public restroom in LA and then opened the door and OLIVIA WILDE was waiting and I accidentally said ‘hi!’ As she passed me into the horrible hell I had just created. I am so sorry Olivia Wilde. I love your work.

Say hwhat now? “This woman” happens to be a brilliant, badass feminist with more curiosity and compassion than most of us combined, and I can only hope my kids grow up to be like her.
I just caught all of my 3 yr old’s vomit in a pillowcase. Not a *single* drop on the rug. Not sure why the passenger in the next seat isn’t celebrating.

After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, appearing in parliament for the first time since Friday’s terrorist attack, opened her remarks with with the Arabic greeting “as-salaam Alaikum.”
2 days after I gave birth I was in milk-crusted sweatpants and an ice diaper. Meghan’s out there in cocktail attire and a blowout, hosting the friggin Queen. RESPECT.

I’m so moved by this simple act of kindness. Their generosity profoundly effected my (and my kids’) reality that day. I can’t wait to do this for someone else. Humans are good. We can’t forget that. ❤️
Holy Ffffff.
#AQuietPlacemovie
is UNREAL. I have never had such a visceral reaction to a movie in my life. My body is still twisted in knots. It’s also heartbreakingly beautiful. See. It. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

One year ago, I was begging you to go to the movie theater, and now I’m begging you not to leave your house. What a difference a pandemic makes. Sending love and health to everyone who made, and watched, Booksmart. ❤️ 🐼
US employers cut 140,000 jobs in December, according to the latest jobs report. Women accounted for all the losses, losing 156,000 jobs, while men gained 16,000.
What can I do to support my Asian-American sisters and brothers? They’re living in fear. They’re being brutalized and murdered. I don’t want to just express my sympathy. I need an education on what I can do to be an ally.
Couple days ago my kid was having a level 10, defcon 1, couldn’t-control-his-body meltdown at a restaurant. It happens. Poor guy was hungry as hell and overwhelmed. I was holding four bags and my 2 yr old. It was chaos.
In the middle of the night, Tennessee legislators decided that you must have your rapists’s baby and if a doctor tries to help you they’ll go to jail for 15 yrs.
@GovBillLee
must stop this unconstitutional bill!
@taylorswift13
Feeling intensely grateful for the birthday love, today (even if most of it was intended for my twin, Rick Rubin). Your kindness is staggering. I am thrilled to be alive, and getting a little better at it every year. Thank you ♥️
I NEED TO SEE BOOKSMART. I haven't been this excited for a movie in a while!! Can someone carry me to the theater?? I will buy your snacks and ticket!!
“African-Americans are 40 percent more likely to die from colorectal cancer. It’s because of later-stage diagnosis, it’s because of systemic racism and all that this population has been dealing with for hundreds of years.”
Forty. Percent.

@DenverPolice
appear to shoot pepper balls at a car to move traffic. The man gets out to tell police that his girlfriend is pregnant in the car, and they keep shooting.
He isn’t a threat, or even a protestor. We need police reform now.

’s EIGHTH GRADE and forgive your younger self for being so tragically human. I loved seeing it in a theater. The shared laughs and gasps are a part of the experience. Get there.
#EighthGrade
I urge every airline, especially those who pride themselves on inclusivity, to stop working with this third party company, and trust the parental advisory warning to allow viewers to opt out if they choose.
Fox and Friends hosts laugh about Trump’s tweets this am telling Reps. AOC, Omar, Pressley, and Tlaib to “go back” to the "crime infested places from which they came"
Devastating example of how “pro life” really just means preventable death for poor women. Makes my blood boil. There is no freedom without access to reproductive health care.
This is the point. It’s not a matter of abortions vs no abortions. They will happen. You’re not preventing any deaths by obstructing safe healthcare. You’re guaranteeing many women will die.
