New Substack about our documentary on David Webb Peoples and how you can help us this EOFY!

Incredibly sad news. Please go seek out her graphic novels and films this weekend.

The new Bluey game is brilliant for teaching younger kids basic platform game mechanics. Highly recommended!

Development grant application submitted! Such a long road to get here. Now to cross those fingers and toes and make a few sacrifices to the film gods.

omg

Re-reading James Cameron's treatment for The Terminator. It's so clearly laid out and also includes a few nuggest that were cut for obvious budget and casting reasons but the core of it is so damn solid. Highly recommend for all those screenwriting junkies out there.

By the way, if you're curious how the horror community feels watching these movies clean up at the box office: we're fucking elated. In horror, rising tides raises all boats. We're all rooting for each other. After the lean box office of last fall, this spring has been refreshing and exciting.

Report with your first crush.

My all time favourite screenwriting software. Nothing can make me go back to Final Draft.

The entire first season of ‘SPIDER-NOIR’, starring Nicolas Cage, releases on Prime Video in less than two hours. But is it worth the binge? Find out in our review... bit.ly/NoirDF

YES I SAID YES I WILL YES

Mark Duplass has taken to Instagram to shoot down the engagement bait rumors that Kane Parsons didn't actually direct the BACKROOMS movie. "When I was there, Kane was 100% in control. More so than many directors 3x his age."

Paddington's opening line: "I fucking love marmalade sandwiches!"

Fango is sad to learn of the passing of director and special effects artist Yoshihiro Nishimura. Known as the ‘Tom Savini of Japan’, Nishimura’s bloody, bizarre films helped usher in a new era of Japanese hypersplatter following the J-horror boom of the 1990s.

The fine folks at @cartoonsaloon.bsky.social continue to make these beautiful stories and I, for one. Can't wait to see this film.

Every schoolchild now knows of the gift the Choctaw Nation gave to the Irish during the Famine but it wasn't always so. Losing a language can mean losing folk memory. jrnl.ie/7048199

Hope looks so damn good. I can't wait to see this on the big screen. If you haven't seen any of Na Hong-jin's films, rectify that immediately.

Just going to repost this link. No reason... No reason at all.

Well, this looks stunning and is sure to be a tearjerker.

Oh man... What a legend. Rest in peace.

With the budget being released to a whimper of appease, we should remember to keep the pressure on the major parties. We desperately need a tax on oil and gas exports.

Koji Suzuki, the world-renowned novelist best-known for Ring, "Floating Water" (Dark Water), Spiral, and more horror stories, has died at age 68:

Microsoft365 is a toxic relationship with a dementia patient. Why sign in with 2fa every 2 weeks? Why do I need to use your authenticator app? Why, when app not working, do you send me a txt only to then say code you sent is wrong? Then... we repeat this process in another 2 weeks. Fuck off!!

Pedro Sanchez, PM of Spain: "Benjamin Netanyahu has abducted foreign citizens, taking them to Israel. We will always protect our citizens and international law. We want the release of the Spanish citizen who has been illegally abducted by the IDF."

Median house price in WA is now $800k+. By the time I pay it off, I'd be 73years old, IF I continue working into my mid 70s. Though my current borrowing power only allows me to purchase 1000km+ from my place of work. Gotta love this housing crisis! Ugh. Thanks @albomp.bsky.social and co.

Well, Widow's Bay is my new hyperfixation. That show is a banger! Apple TV is on an all time streak. More please.

In celebration of the ROGUE TROOPER PREMIER being announced at the magnificent ANNECY INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION FILM FESTIVAL & MARKET this June, (that was a mouthful,) clamp your sensors on these POSTERS from Paolo Rivera and Chris Weston respectively-

William Goldman: "Screenplays don’t have to read like an instruction manual for a refrigerator. You can write them as a pleasurable read." #screenwriting #scriptsky

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

RIP James Valentine, who gave me and countless other Gen X and Millennial Australians a crash course in weirdness hosting The Afternoon Show back in the late 80s.

I've gone almost 2 years without Adobe products in my life. Barely notice it. I can 100% do the same with #Microsoft and will happily bin my outlook account. Think of all the teams meetings I can now miss with a smile on my face. Don't tempt me.

Why can't Australia make adverts like this?

The long road towards production. 4 years of rewrites, pitching, finance and letter writing... Still on the runway, but I'll let you all know when we take off.

Starting to lockdown HOD’s for filming later in the year, the train is slowly getting ready to leave the station!

Also, feels important to mention these days that this indie film was made by humans.

Stop what you're doing and give @greglarsencomedian.bsky.social new special a watch. This is such a fuck and eloquently performed stand up special with an intermission no less. Give it all the awards. Thanks #humdinger for putting this on.

Saw this film at MIFF last year and, I just say, it's the best Aussie film the year and you really should seek it out.

In Australia, if you whistleblow on war crimes, or protest about war crimes, or wear t-shirts with slogans that could offend those who justify war crimes, then you are treated worse by police & lawmakers than actual war criminals.

I do love the bravery and tenacity of @democracynow.org so this documentary will be right up there on my must watch list.
