“The most valuable thing to me in terms of my mental health is to read a poem or see a painting or listen to music which speaks to me, which breaks me open for a moment, and where I feel an experience honestly & delicately portrayed. That’s another reason AI can never create anything artistically.”

Eliezer Yudkowsky, one of the most fascinating people in A.I., is the author of a new book on why artificial intelligence will kill us all. On "Hard Fork," he made the case for why A.I. development should be shut down now, long before we reach superintelligence. nyti.ms/46kniYD

RIP — and INTRUDER is absolutely an underrated classic

Finally broke down and joined Insta. Don’t blame me, blame @kitsheehan.bsky.social. She did the breaking.

Had a blast tonight with @kitsheehan.bsky.social at the LA premiere of AMERICAN WARRIOR (starring Danny Trejo)! Snagged a pic of my “Story Consultant” credit but it’s blurry. Feels like that Simpsons where no one believed Bart worked for Krusty. Congrats to Naveen A Chathapuram and Vish Ayyar!

@kitsheehan.bsky.social and I got to see an early screening of @stephenking.bsky.social’s THE LONG WALK with screenwriter JT Mollner (thanks to @fangoria.bsky.social) and one thing I can say about this movie is that it’s so visceral MY feet still hurt.

Can’t wait to see this! Not only is it starring one of my all time fav actors (seriously, the Seann William Scott renaissance needs to start like now), but it’s also being produced by the massively talented Naveen A. Chathapuram, who directed a little movie I wrote called THE LAST VICTIM!

Had quite a weekend with @kitsheehan.bsky.social between seeing @benstiller.redhour.com show up to give blue steel at the Hollywood Forever screening of Zoolander and checking out the last day of @midsummerscream.bsky.social to support our friends in the @horrorbuzz.bsky.social Screaming Room fest!

Event Horizon, Deep Rising, Last Action Hero, Walk Hard, The Nice Guys, The Thing 2011, Dredd, Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar, The Fall Guy, Dungeons and Dragons, Blade Runner 2049, The Rocketeer, Payback

Promo for screenings of PREDATOR from January 1988. Shown in 70mm in the West End!

Watching the Storm of the Century miniseries starring Tim Daly (fantastic, btw) and suddenly remembered The Shining miniseries starred Steven Weber and now I’m wondering if @stephenking.bsky.social is secretly a mega fan of the 90’s sitcom Wings?

Fox News Decries Woke Casting Of Indian Man As Star Of ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunam’ theonion.com/fox-new...

You gotta find fun where you can lately and @kitsheehan.bsky.social and I found some at FX’s Alien Earth activation in Hollywood today! Maybe not as cool as the crashed ship thing we missed at SDCC, but they’re giving out some dope prizes! #AlienEarth #FX #Hulu #Alien

It’s so cool to see Ralph Ineson (the big baddie of The Last Victim) as the gigantic baddie of Fantastic Four! Dude’s got an amazing voice for this kind of role.

Honest to god good news from @vidiots.bsky.social! www.indiewire.com/news/general...

Was looking at the back of my Pulp Fiction DVD and something felt off… then it hit me. What’s up with Sam Jackson’s hair?? Where’d they get this photo? It’s like it’s from an alternate timeline. I don’t think this Jules would have been as big of a hit. The wig was a good choice. #tarantino

"You say you only used AI for placeholder text, but in that text was a response from the AI saying 'here's a revised version'. Here's what I don't understand - why revise placeholder text? You see my problem? It just doesn't make sense to me. Why revise something nobody was meant to see, unless..."

Alright, this looks pretty dope…

Got to add another human-sized-Oscar pic to my collection while accompanying my wonderfully talented partner (in filmmaking and life) @kitsheehan.bsky.social (one of the stars of the multi-award-winning short “RHUBARB”) at the Collaborative Filmmakers Challenge (CFC) at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre.

Carrie Coon is a genius 🤩

I’m a “Black List Recommended” Writer. I wrote a feature starring Ron Perlman released by Neon. I worked for NBCUniversal as a reader. I was just turned down to be a reader at @theblcklst.bsky.social. Even the jobs BETWEEN gigs are harder to get than the timeline of the Terminator films.

I just stumbled upon this neo-noir/black comedy LAKE GEORGE on Hulu and it was fantastic! @carriecoon.bsky.social and Shea Whigham give charmingly powerful performances. The script is good and the film is gorgeous. Kind of felt like a mix of GLORIA and PTA’s HARD EIGHT, with a bit of MIDNIGHT RUN.

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

“De-escalate the protest!” I shout from my tank as I plow over a dancing Spider-Man on Hollywood boulevard and toss teargas at a slightly tan child

HEART EYES was a blast! An old school slasher with a memorable baddy, some creative kills and a fun romcom twist. Def worth checking out if like 90’s horror like SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. Congrats to @joshruben.bsky.social and @michaelkennedy.bsky.social!

If you haven’t yet, do yourself a favor and check out @patrickhwillems.bsky.social on YouTube. Some of the best video essays about film that I’ve ever seen. I actually recommended his channel in an interview with @scriptslug.com a while ago, but I somehow didn’t know he was on here until just now.

NEW COMMENTARY - @badmoviebible.bsky.social joins me to chat about Universal Soldier! youtu.be/KXBnJEue2m4

"The hardest-working paper in America." doing absolutely zero work

So it means it’s also been 30 years since every audience said, “wait, can you explain the water-jug puzzle again?”

Let me just join the chorus and say that ANDOR is a masterpiece. A massive congrats to Tony Gilroy and the entire cast and crew of what has turned out to be one of the most incredible (and dare I say, important) series of all time.

Google AI is so dumb… How dumb is it? So dumb it will literally provide a link to the exact article that contradicts the “AI overview” it just gave you. I was just trying to find the article from Hulu, but google thought I should get negged by a bot first.

Came across this absolutely amazing Tombstone mural in Santa Monica yesterday. RIP Val Kilmer

Got to see Ryan Cooglar’s fantastic SINNERS in 70mm at the Vista in LA! This is one of those films that just feels like a real old school movie, while at the same time it does a few things that really felt fresh.

Absolutely epic Free Comic Book Day haul (and a great way to celebrate #Maythe4th) thanks to Comic Bug! #FCBD

Wow it looks like @coverfly.bsky.social is shutting down, too. Insane. Not only did I love how the site was set up, but I actually got a few really big meetings (that I was totally underprepared for) via their Pitch Week program. This feels like a bad omen. @nofilmschool.bsky.social

Damn, now I have a new regret I didn’t even know about until just now.

Finally joined ISA - www.networkisa.org/profile/ashl...

We all see it don't we?

It may not the most well known or well-loved of his movies, but THE SAINT was a classic in my family and is still my favorite Val Kilmer film. Hands down one of my favorite actors of all time. RIP Val Kilmer.

Excellent, thoughtful piece, which, judging from the comments, not enough people actually bothered to read

This is great. I’d heard the “no breath in the cold” theory before but I never thought of this.
