Bluesky before Claude code / Bluesky after Claude code

Me trying to tune into Bluesky

been meaning to make this for a while and I think we can all agree did a pretty good job

THE CHRISTOPHERS is an enchanting, fun, deeply moving film. #IanMcKellen is scintillating as famous fading painter, #MichaelaCoel matches him beat for beat as hidden agenda assistant. Brilliant @edsolomon.bsky.social script expertly executed by #StevenSoderbergh. A delight. youtu.be/m2d1x7VuDmo

THE CHRISTOPHERS is a beautiful, unique, soulful, clever tale of art&love&legacy Hilarious Heartrending Heartwarming +Great @edsolomon.bsky.social & Soderberg Q&A w/ @timgrierson.bsky.social Smart & moving, can’t wait to see it again. Perfect script? Perfect film? Perhaps. Is it art? It is art.

Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning dark fantasy masterpiece PAN'S LABYRINTH is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a theatrical re-release.

Re-read this beautiful, deeply personal essay by comics writer @kellysue.bsky.social (CAPTAIN MARVEL), exhibit one godzillion why not to pigeonhole artists…actors can be writers, comics writers can write award-winning shows (AWAKENING) and brilliant essays. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/doin...

Annie Hall came out half of the entire history of the motion picture industry ago, and Seinfeld came out half of the entire history of the television industry ago

Another troll-faced toy has imploded taking its parent down with it.

Excellent list from writer @kellysue.bsky.social (CAPTAIN MARVEL) of things her son should know before taking on World (frankly, all guys would do well to check themselves against it). He is also delightfully fictionalized (as is she) in her ongoing comic FML, one of my faves.

COMMUTER SAMURAI

Saddened at the passing of Sam Kieth at 63yo. First discovered Sam as the artist of the initial issues of THE SANDMAN, then backwards rediscovered him when THE MAXX exploded onto MTV and I went back to the comics to see the @imagecomics.com inspiration for the animated series. A great loss. RIP.

Want drama? Ask a character: “What do you fear the most?” Then put them in a story where they must confront that fear. #screenwriting

Love the croissant model of moviemaking, which I will now never not only associate with the incredible #RyanCoogler (SINNERS), but also with master screenwriter / master baker @jeffreyhoward33.bsky.social (MIDNIGHT MASS) … though his model may be more scone-based.

ABSOLUTE COMICS WRITING classes continue as @ssnyder1835.bsky.social (ABSOLUTE BATMAN) & @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social (IRON MAN) explore BIG COMICS EVENTS w/ paid members. Curious? Catch this *free* class with @kellythompson.bsky.social (ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN). open.substack.com/pub/bestjack...

Taking FIREFLY into the animated space (heh) is smart. After a 14ep TV run in 2002-2003, home video popularity led to SERENITY (2005) in cinemas. The story picked up in comics (w/ @gregpak.net!!), & in “can’t stop the signal” fashion, never stopped. So much to adapt. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

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.

Purchased TEACHER’S PET…links *live*…can’t wait to dig into the thrills #NoamKroll &Co have in store. Already know @lukebarnett.bsky.social to be a powerful yet nuanced performer, @barbaracrampton.bsky.social delivers smart + heart with every part, #MichelleTorian gleams with promise. Bring it.

Listen to the story that shaped a generation. Decades after starring in Stand By Me, the film adaptation of THE BODY, Wil Wheaton lends his voice to an all new recording of the audiobook. Pre-order your copy and start listening March 24, 2026.

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.
