Rian Johnson and "A Niche Tweet"

Yeah, I know. There haven't been any FXRant posts recently. I have a few half-written pieces in the pipeline, so there's that. The 'day job' has been taking up a lot of my time, lately.

However, I have been having fun on Twitter. This made me chuckle; I'm thrilled that Rian Johnson, writer/director of the forthcoming "Star Wars: Episode VIII" got a laugh from my tweet.

A grandad listens to the #Dodgers game. Security Benefit ad comes on. He stares at his gothy, texting grandson, his eyes oceans of sadness.

That was a niche tweet.
