I ex pect to strike hands and embrace my friends who have gone before.

    It's absurd and quite tragic the way people have managed to pit science against faith. They aren't in conflict at all - they're long lost dance partners.

    It's also one thing to see a celebrity or some kind of character on a TV show being gay.

    It's always nice when someone reaches out and says, "I have an autistic brother," or "I have someone else."

Cowardly, I could do nothing but hold my brother's tiny body while hiding my ugly emotions.

  • By Anonym

    It's exciting to me that Ride Along is a movie that has two African American leads, but it's even more exciting to me that it's not a movie about two African American leads.

That's a universal theme.

    It's funny because when I was growing up, I was really into science fiction and fantasy as a kid. And, when I first became a screenwriter, I ended up really just doing historical drama and non-fiction based stuff, like Band of Brothers and stuff that didn't get made, but was also non-fiction.
