Enjoy ‘Market Mayhem’ for @applepay !
I had a ton of fun making this and paying homage to my Hong Kong heroes, Mr Jackie Chan in particular. Working with this great crew and exceptionally talented cast was a riot, as you’ll see!

58 years ago today, on November 6, 1968, the Monkees' movie Head premiered in New York City, with a gala at the Columbia Pictures studio on West 54th Street.
Bob Rafelson directed it, and he and a young Jack Nicholson wrote and produced it, working from ideas the Monkees, Rafelson and Nicholson had brainstormed into a tape recorder at a resort in Ojai. The result was a plotless, satirical trip through westerns, war movies and musicals that took aim at the Monkees' own manufactured image. Victor Mature, Sonny Liston, Annette Funicello, Carol Doda, Frank Zappa and Teri Garr all turn up along the way.
The teen fans stayed away and the counterculture crowd didn't trust it, but Head has since become a cult classic. Micky Dolenz is still with us; we lost Davy Jones in 2012, Peter Tork in 2019 and Mike Nesmith in 2021.
🎸 Head's soundtrack album was compiled by Jack Nicholson himself. Have you ever seen Head? 🎸

Listened to @RealGDT and @edgarwright. Went to see Ken Russell’s The Devils last night and we loved it. A film firing on all cylinders.

Today marks 60 years since The Monkees first premiered on NBC.
The first episode to air was “Royal Flush,” although, in true Monkees fashion, it wasn't the first one we actually filmed. Typical for us to be already out of order before people had even seen us.
What followed was more than any of us could have imagined: the records, the tours, the fans, the Emmy, the reruns, the revivals, and all these years of people just like you telling me what the show and the music have meant to them.
Tonight, I get to celebrate that anniversary in the city where it all began.
Los Angeles, come celebrate with me tonight at The United Theater on Broadway for Micky Dolenz Celebrates 60 Years of The Monkees.
Bring your singing voice. I’ll bring the tambourine!

THANK YOU to each and every person who saw and spread the word about our little underdog movie. You’ve shown ACME that Wile E. Coyote is not just a low-life, cave-dwelling desert dog with no connections, no family, and no friends ❤️💥

Steve Martin was always great on talk shows because he would slowly sneak in a big comedy bit and then you'd have absolutely no idea how far it would go 😂 wait til the end

One of the most historic and iconic movie palaces in the world sits on Hollywood Boulevard and it has been abandoned for more than 20 years. This is the Warner Cinerama. It opened in 1928, and I think it’s time to bring this legendary theater back to life. 👀
