We’re watching The Lost Bus (2025).Been waiting for this one.

What’s a media baron?

“Never Gonna Fall in Love Again” Eric Carmen

Goodnight #ipadpro #procreate

A Halloween-themed pizza dubbed the “Mar-ghoul-Rita” and horror movies, a perfect October Friday night (It’s not burnt, that’s just black tomato sauce. And it was supposed to have cheese ghosts on it 😭)

The snowman in Naked Gun is scarier than Stephen Miller.

Seeing Hitchcock's Sabotage at a picture house (literally a Picturehouse) next week like it's 1936, absolute madness. You too could be watching great old Hitchcock films at a cinema RIGHT NOW!* www.picturehouses.com/blog/hitchcock *probably not RIGHT NOW, depends what time you're reading this

Good morning, writing fam. May you readily sjuzhet your fabula, easily fill your tabula rasa, and never splinter your fibula.

Should I spend $38 (military base) or $0 (my electric trimmer) on a haircut? Or proceed with my extreme hair goals (Claudio Sanchez) and do nothing? Your vote counts!

Garbage. Though I live in the U.S., I recently received an EP credit on a film shot in Canada. President Dipshit, for one you may want to consider working w/states to strengthen their tax incentive programs if you sincerely want to alleviate “runaway production.” www.indiewire.com/news/general...

Independent films are most often financed by foreign pre-sales. Every studio film is distributed in foreign territories. How the hell does Tr*mp intend to "100% tariff" foreign financed films?? He will kill the industry, esp independent production. He is a ruderless boob. #scriptsky #screenwriting

Our nationwide liberation celebration will last for weeks. You’ll need to plus up your strength and constitution. (Maybe your charisma too?) Hit those aerobic goals. Zombieland rules. And then once again, with a difference, for a lifetime of punishing Republicans. I’m not tired.

In Ohio, starting on Monday 9/29, we'll be implementing an age assurance solution similar to what we're doing in South Dakota and Wyoming. Read more here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

A bus laden with gold and lost in the fog! 🚌 THE RUNAWAY BUS (1954) 2:10pm #FrankieHowerd #MargaretRutherford #PetulaClark comedy #TPTVsubtitles

Pretty glad I already named my three kids Algo, Axiom and Vibe.

I still don’t understand Instagram. I’m meant to include an image with every damn post? What is wrong with people. Do you want the language centers in our already pitiful human brains to decay in a dozen generations? I was upset about this pictocentrism before it was cool. Cool to be upset, I mean.

Bluntly: any recent MCU/action film, because dialog is buried under the cacaphonous wall of sound that is today's blockbuster soundtrack mix and I'll die on this hill.

"Interstellar".

What’s the worst sound mix in a movie with a proper budget and artists that should know better? Any decade.

Perfectly Common BrE Words the @NYTimesGames Spelling Bee Has Denied Me: An Occasional Series LEYLINE (though it's usually got a space) (I've also put in a note about LIMEY) Now added to the blog list: separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com/2023/04/nyt-...

#lawsky Have epistemological standards in legal practice improved, even faintly, since 1612 C.E.?

Big insight from Petey. National survival depends on manscaping.

I haven’t seen the news today. Is there a new tariff on rubber prop guns yet. https://westernstageprops.com/products/ak-47-rubber-assault-rifle-1949?variant=46865110499608

I say spurt because the journalist is often just smart enough to sense when he or she has generated a contradiction. So they stop. Making all the statements in the paragraph, chapter or book consistent is just too much for them, and the publisher really doesn’t care.

JOURNALIST I’m all about the facts. (writes a book consistently nearly entirely of personal beliefs and opinions, bundled with hasty interpretations, and driven by hidden premises, most of which are fitful spurts of motivated reasoning)

Christopher Nolan has been elected President of the Directors Guild of America. #ChristopherNolan #DirectorsGuild #DGA

This is the film. Still in a daze since I just got out, but this is the film. See it in VistaVision if you can. The Vista gave out format punchcards too. #OneBattleAfterAnother

NYT editorial pitches by Chris (me). Republicans want to heal the nation. Is unity at gunpoint really too far? The myth that drawstrings are a feasible way of keeping pants up is becoming a security problem. What Antifa really wants. (A tiny unicycle for every murder hornet is just the start.)

If I actually see this yappy runt Patel in Valhalla, I’m going to feel duped.

Either rain or shut up, Southern California weather. I ain’ ‘avin’ it today.

Republicans are a disease. An infection. Husks filled with pus, that somehow walk and talk.

Taking your silence as enthusiastic support. Thank you.

It’s permitted to see Hulu now? Because I want to watch William Tell (2024). Big fan of Claes Bang since that comically deranged Dracula, haha.

Olyphant fans who missed A Perfect Getaway (2009) must see that one immediately. Don’t read summaries or critics. Just watch.

I lost followers because I failed to provide timely content.

After a very hectic few weeks of day and night stress, I’m watching Ruby Rose get ready to annihilate Frank Grillo. (In a movie, not real life.) Emotion management innit.

I just read it’s doomsday! What the Shrek! I’m gently marinating some soft tofu — but now that work will just get lost — like two tablespoons of finely minced Lombardy garlic in rain.

Hi. What did I miss. Also, lol4ever @ Disney.

“It’s hard to push back when you don’t have power, but Bob Iger and Dana Walden have power,” [WGAW President Meredith] Stiehm said of Disney’s CEO and entertainment chair. “They know what this is. This is appeasement. This is cowardice. They’re being bullied. And they should say no."

Actually, yeah! I’d much rather screen writers go and do actual crimes than pretend that glorifying mob style crime. In fact, I’m sure if they went out and did actual crimes, they would likely find anything better to write about.

He is always in orbit of Thurston and let’s be honest I got my big cat a little cat

In order to get my mind off the darkness in the world, I decided to start watching Possession on Criterion Channel completely cold. I don't think it's working?

His name is Columbo. I found him under a bush in the rain.

Not that I letting this one off the hook for his tantrum, but I suspect the many layers of out-gassing Kevlar makes them very emotional.

But crime screenwriters only know one other profession — actual crime. Is this really what you want?

Brilliant. I resent not thinking of this first!
