oh no i'm supposed to be away writing. please yell at me if you see me online again

My favorite behind-the-scenes story from a Q&A with the director: they built two identical sets to allow for one takes but the cast and crew kept getting lost in them/couldn't tell them apart. So they named one set "Kubrick" and the other "Hitchcock".

I spot Artemis from Sailor Moon!!!

I'm loving working on my script while I have the Artemis II live feed chatter in the background. My username is pleased 🚀🌕

So hyped for this movie. The Oldest View next please and thank you

Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is taking Indigenous culture past the Moon: his mission patch was designed by Henry Guimond, an Anishinaabe artist, incorporating one Indigenous perspective about the seven sacred laws, which are represented by animals. 🧪 #ArtemisII

LOVE that they were just like "and here we see the moon, which as it happens is where we are going"

!!! Hell yes to more WOMEN WRITING HORROR! Congrats to the Zuckerman sisters! @norazuckerman.bsky.social

Just sitting here procrastinating and thinking about how good Torchwood: Children of Earth was.

The film was built entirely by hand, from watercolor backgrounds to multiplane underwater scenes to needle-pricked paper and inverted paint techniques, without any CG. www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY OF MARCH????? HOW???

[trying to be encouraging in these difficult times] good job on having a day

I'll be at the KALH (Korean American Leaders in Hollywood)'s 5th Annual Mentorship Summit today. If you're attending, please say hello!

A fantasy drama series pitch! Getting there...

move slow and repair things

This is the first/last time I mention this show until it's buried. Fuck J.K. Rowling. Fuck you if you support this show. I can rattle off the top of my head at least 100 book series & creators you could be funding instead of this feckless abomination whose filthy lucre is used for bigotry & hate.

A psychological horror game masquerading as a cozy cleaning simulator? HELL YES www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsuD...

cis actors playing trans characters is SO harmful, and there are SO MANY trans actors looking for work the only reason to not cast a trans man to play a trans man is because you don’t want to and the… misguided thinking that a cis actor could portray our lived experience better than we can 🫥

There is absolutely NO GODDAMN REASON why they couldn't cast Ian Alexander (the voice of Lev) who is actually trans AND has live-action acting experience.

I typed “horsefish” instead of “seahorse” so that's where I am today.

In 2021, researchers from Boston University & Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute aboard the Schmidt Ocean research vessel Falkor had a rare encounter with Vitreledonella richardi, the GLASS OCTOPUS. This mesmerizing creature, rarely seen, has a nearly transparent body with visible eyes & gut.

Due to high geopolitical tensions, sports fans are temporarily required to contextualize their posts, for example: ❌ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK ✔️ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK how did he make that basketball go in the hole

Wake up. Coffee. Zoom. Good work news. 91 degrees in March. Iced tea. Pear tart. More zoom. News. Unbearable news. Iced coffee. Oops, too much caffeine. Bad work news. Zoom. Migraine. Write. Pause to think, what's the point when the world is burning? Write some more.

Every writer hits "The Rewrite Suck." It's the moment you look at something you've been working on for months and think: "I can't figure this out. This sucks. I suck." I'm a working professional screenwriter. It happens on every project I've ever worked on. Here's how to survive it. 🧵

If you didn't know this already have a fact to brighten your day. This is my cat Boris when he played Jones in Aliens. He was picked because he would hiss on camera because he was not a nice guy.

Last time I pitched this show, I was still recovering from a 5 weeks-long flu. Had to mute between sections to cough. Today, I pitch the same show in an AC-less room warmed by 90F weather. How do I get out of hard mode?

The rumors are true, I finally finished revising my sci-fi feature spec!!! Have a good feeling about this draft 🌊🌊🌊

My writing partner @gryphonmetal.bsky.social and I are so damn proud of our contributions in this film 💖🇰🇷🫡 Hope Hollywood learns the right lessons and greenlights more ORIGINAL stories.

Justin Hurwitz's score for FIRST MAN is so underrated. Perfect writing music as I finish my sci-fi spec revisions!!!

This is genuinely so fucking weird

Am I brave enough to play Pools by myself?

I started Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield and god DAMN, I haven't felt this humbled by someone's writing since reading Ted Chiang's short stories.

I long to just experience one (1) “precedented” week.

The Reformatory by @tananarivedue.bsky.social was a hell of a read.

I revisit this talk whenever I need a pep talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCtb...

Chatty Cathy Even Steven Debbie Downer Negative Nancy Nervous Nelly Can you think of any other name expressions?

Being an adult really is saying "maybe things will calm down soon" everyday for the rest of our lives

Finally watched this and wow wow wow.

We didn't win but still pretty damn cool 😎 #SweetTooth

Writing is hard. Writing is great. Writing sucks. I love writing. I wish I could stop writing. I cannot stop writing. Please help. Please leave me alone, I have another 3 pages to get through. Please read my work. Please never perceive this garbage I've created. Respect me. Ignore me.

Happy Twin Peaks Day.
