Though you don’t see his face, @david-mack.bsky.social is a key part of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, creating the s1 in-story art of the Muse character, with more work for s2. He has also done DD comics w/ @brianmbendis.bsky.social. He now brings all of his power to bear in this stunning piece. Peak DD.

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH Screenwriter @joemightliketv.bsky.social will be hosting a dynamite chat+Q&A each Thursday this February for the 4th Annual Black Writers’ Live Q&A Series, kicking off Th2/5 with @reallymighty.bsky.social (@wgawest.bsky.social Board of Directors). DM Joe to join us!

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1784

SEND HELP is a shockingly spectacular splatterromp of a film. Saw for a *second* time at a special @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social LA screening plus Q&A with screen(scream?)writers @shannonandswift.bsky.social giving knife-sharp As to Qs from MC Carmelo (sp?) and our stoked audience. Must! See! Again!

Yesterday I passed along the WGA Foundation library of 45K scripts is open to the public (thanks, Diamond Allen). MORE good news. The Academy of Motion Pictures Library has tons more scripts you can read! Open to the public too! Thanks, JAngelSierra. BOTH need appointments first.

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Our fam, like many, are floored at the tragic loss of the brilliant Catherine O’Hara, She’s had so many iconic roles, even earning two recent guest star Emmy noms. To us, she will forever be the voice of Sally, the kind and insightful soul of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Yep. #AbsoluteBatman gets it. @danielwarrenart.bsky.social gets it. @ssnyder1835.bsky.social gets it. @dcoffical.bsky.social gets it.

What he said.

One delightful @gailsimone.bsky.social moment (*so* many) is the *epic* comic creators panel she did @ @wondercon.bsky.social, sitting next to marvelous @xmmarv.bsky.social. When Marv was having a hard time hearing the un-mic-ed Q&A Qs, sharp-eared Gail wrote ‘em for Marv so he could answer ‘em.

SEND HELP is an absolute blast of an island survival horror-thriller, CASTAWAY by way of MISERY with all the best #SamRaimi shocks & twists. #RachelMcAdams shows amazing range, #DylanOBrien is pitch perfect. Thanks @20thcenturystudios.bsky.social & @chinesetheatres.bsky.social for a great night!

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

In this situation it is often best to work backwards from G to F to E. This way the tough part is stitching D to E rather than having an ending that feels like a left turn at the last moment. Most stories have third act problems for just this questions' reason.

Delighted by ALICE FOREVER AFTER #1, as @urbanbarbarian.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social &Co continue the tale of Alice & her relations. Family, love, devotion, yes…but also otherworldly dreams and diabolical schemes, and more than a spoonful of madness. Now in 2nd print. *Highly* recommend.

VIRTUAL KRAMPUS KAROLING Instructionsss… 1) Open front door from inside B) Hold up device screen iii) Enjoy and/or endure song Thank you in advance for not turning the hose on us, and if you do, please make sure your device is waterproof. A Very Happy Merry from us to all!!!

"A scene in a script should never be longer in number of pages than it has number of characters." In short, a two person scene should never be longer than 2 pages. Scott & I include a long dialog scene in every one of our movies that we are ALWAYS told is too long and will be cut, then never is.

As we continue to mourn & remember #RobReiner for the impact his art & legacies have on us, personally, vital to think of others affected. Please find what comfort you can from Wil’s skillful heartfelt words. I do. wilwheaton.net/2025/12/this... Thanks, Wil. Though it seems not enough…condolences.

Writer @ssnyder1835.bsky.social &Co have triggered a tsunami of comics excitement w/ ABSOLUTE BATMAN. But did you know that Scott has also taught to writers who are now some of the best in the biz, including @jamesthefourth.bsky.social? Join @BestJackett at… bestjackettpress.substack.com/subscribe

Hi all! We're hiring at DC for a sales manager in the book market! This role would be working very closely with me, so I'm happy to answer any questions. Let me know if you know anyone! careers.wbd.com/global/en/jo...

As usual, @crobertcargill.bsky.social says it best. Just when you think this timeline has nothing left that can shock you…this. Condolences to all who cared about Rob and Michele, and all who treasure Rob’s brilliant work. What a tragic, horrific, devastating loss. www.latimes.com/california/s...

MAN FINDS TAPE (2025) is a mindblasting scintillating singular cinematic vision, a Lovecraftian mockumentary for the YouTube age. Caught it at @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social LA, now out on VoD. www.magnetreleasing.com/manfindstape/ The cinematic video equivalent of an epistolary novel, freaky good.

You will be visited by three spirits

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

We hereby retire the “record scratch-Freeze frame-You may be wondering how I got here” meme. It’s over. It will never be topped by this image.

“It’s a Friday once again!”

Wait holy shit, a nice correction on this story - THESE CELEBS DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROJECT. They recorded voices 15 years ago for an audio bible project and Fox is repurposing it bsky.app/profile/falc...

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Incredible time Saturday meeting up w/ @leahfromsd.bsky.social & seeing @thehorrormaster.bsky.social LIVE (or is it THEY LIVE?) in concert @ #BelascoLA. His brilliant compositions… from his films and his albums…pack a *huge* punch played live, including a track from his upcoming new album CATHEDRAL.
