On Veterans Day, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and the sacrifices they and their families have made in service to our country. I am continually inspired by their courage, their commitment, and the many ways they continue to serve their communities long after their military service has ended.
My son Mac had a special appreciation for the men and women we serve through the Gary Sinise Foundation. During his time working with the Foundation, he had the opportunity to meet many of these incredible heroes, and he shared my deep respect for their service and sacrifice. It meant a great deal to him to be part of this mission.
I’ve been reflecting on many of these lessons while sharing our family’s story in my new book, Graceful Warrior, which is available now.
To all our veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice. We honor you today and every day. Happy Veterans Day.

Gary Sinise explains why Forrest Gump was a hit with veterans. Lieutenant Dan did something no Vietnam veteran in a movie had done before.
He got his life BACK.
“Forrest Gump was the first time that a story about a Vietnam veteran was a happy ending story.
We'd never seen a Vietnam veteran come home, process all his anger, isolate himself through booze and loneliness, all the things that were going on with Lieutenant Dan.
But what happens at the end of that story? He's standing up again. He's got legs. He's moving on. He's successful in business. He forgives himself.”
“That's the story we want for anybody who goes off to war. We want them to come home and be okay.”

The Stu Hart memorial bridge has been unveiled.
Bret Hart, noted that naming a solid, sturdy bridge after Stu Hart is a fitting tribute to a man who built a foundation of hope, opportunity, and integrity.
Congratulations to the Hart family.

24 hours after the Montreal Screwjob Shawn Michaels walked out on Monday Night RAW with the WWF Championship in hand and received nuclear heat.
"I put his Sharpshooter on him in Montreal, listened to him squeal and say I give up and ran his ass down South with the rest of those dinosaurs."
HBK and D-Generation X didn't just embrace the real-life controversy they weaponized it… officially shifting pro wrestling into the peak of the Attitude Era.
Agree. People forget Marvel’s
World Building began AFTER they’re first movie.
My hot take on DC movies, Marvel movies, and superhero movies today in general is studios need to stop with their *immediate* world building, everything is immediately connected, everything is an immediate potential spin-off, everything is immediately a mega franchise because you're just putting the cart before the horse.
This is why SUPERMAN '78 worked and remains a classic, this is why BATMAN '89 worked and remains a classic, because those films were first and foremost about its central character. Succeed there first, and everything else you want to build can follow.

Any chance of a digital release?
Hey kids! I’m down to my last few boxes of Gen Mechs, 2025’s magisterial account of pre-internet Transformers — a book which at least one person (me) says is the best ever written. This is your last chance to own “a landmark in pop cultural studies”. Email [email protected]

Anybody get the impression Dave blames Jim criticism for AEW not beating WWE?
Dave, when did you decide to respond to everybody in the known world by writing a half a trillion words in defending AEW when all we had to say is that it's a billionaire's vanity project with the silliest, fakest-looking wrestling in TV history whether it makes $1 or a billion?

If you want proof of my last tweet, has Barbie, American Girls, or Disney Princesses done anything to appeal to boys? No, they don’t need to.

Jane Eyre and Hatchet are two different books for two different reading levels. Terrible comparison. Like comparing Frankenstein to a Danielle Steele novel.
90% of the publishing industry is women. Who wants to make a guess at how many of them sound exactly like this quote? Maybe when the industry doesn't treat boys as proto-incels that need to be begrudgingly handled until they are forced to read the "correct" books, boys will read more.

For the past ten years there’s been an attempt to steer popular culture, especially for Men and Boys.
Publishers/studios are trying to tell us what we want as opposed to giving us what we want, under the guise of “what we need.” Who determines that? And it’s failed.
Young boys are being discouraged from getting into reading—and it’s because more books are missing one key element, @sophiah_n reports: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

You get children to read books by giving them something THEY like. NOT what you want them to like. Therefore you look at what boys are buying. What girls are buying. What’s popular for both. And if you find boys like Rambo, publish some Rambo.
So like I said Philip, we aren’t going to agree. Because there’s a fundamental difference of opinion happening here. I do not agree with you on a very foundational level about how to get children to read books.

Stupid statement and a summary of the problem. The past ten years in pop culture have become “Boys, this is what you’re SUPPOSED to like so this is what you get.” And boys choose not to spend their money on it. No matter how hard you try, men won’t read Danielle Steele.
We are going to have a fundamental difference of opinion if you think the answer to boys not reading is to write about “boy stuff” and not rethink how we engage with boys in general let alone as readers. No specific interest or taste should be placed on a gender binary!!!
