Post a happy TV theme you like... youtu.be/72MxOo5koto?...

Watching E.T. right now I remember seeing it for the first time... with my girlfriend (now my wife) and our best friends At the end, when E.T. has that goodbye moment with Elliot, four 18 year olds were bawling like babies I'm almost 62 now, and the film still retains all of its magic

Leaving this here...

#WIPWednesday #Scriptsky Adding scenes to THE BONE ORCHARD Yup... it's 2nd Draft time, and the story now opens much, much earlier. Like 50 years earlier. Hello, character backstory.

#scriptsky Use It Wisely

This!

Don't enter screenwriting contests? Too expensive? Tired of the drama? To shy? STOP RIGHT THERE! For the low low price of Zero dollars, you can use this brand new Laurel in your posts with no string attached Everybody wins! Congratulations! #scriptsky

Well THAT was weird I'm out doing a bit of local camping, absorbing the heat... and I have this random thought So I get my laptop out and start typing In Word Prose An entire scene, like from a book, not a screenplay I've never truly considered writing a book Hunh, maybe I will #scriptsky

Excellent thread!

Know who didn't get Raptured? THIS GUY! (and THAT girl!) P.S. I have lost nearly 30lbs in the 2 years since that picture was taken. I wonder if that fat is in heaven?

Saw a thing on George Takei's feed that said, "Christians are quitting their jobs and selling their cars because of the Rapture" Ummm.... why in heaven or hell would you worry about that if you're leaving? Be a good Christian and GIVE the car away And the job will be a "no show" quit Easy

So this #Rapture thing If there's no Rapture, can the people who believe in it drop dead anyway? Or just fuck off the planet some other way?

So... this Rapture bullshit It's tomorrow almost everywhere Anybody seen anybody else floating up in a beam of pure love and redemption? No? FUCK! I was hoping for a lot fewer jackholes around here when I wake up tomorrow. Dammit!

Was working on the outline for my next WIP, but I think I'm gonna let it go for a few days. I need a break between projects. #ACaseOfTheTireds

Leaving this here #filmsky

The wife took this one on the way to the supermarket

What movie do you consider "perfect?"

Almost forgot... #Spectember Mission: ACCOMPLISHED! #Scriptsky

It used to be that the #1 Time Travel "What would you do if you could travel back in time?" choice was: Go back and unalive baby Hitler For me, right now... it's to go back in time and kick Obama's joke writer in the nuts #IYKYK

Just finished "Pretty Woman" I've seen it many times, but it's been a minute since the last time Man... Julia Roberts... star power outta the gate. And of course, Héctor Elizondo. Will we ever see someone who approaches him? (Narrator: Nope!)

Spent the morning transplanting a rose, a plumeria, a hibiscus, and a golf ball pittosporum. My reward: you guessed it #Scriptsky

It's #FirstPageFriday, but I'm just posting bits from my current script, THE BONE ORCHARD... cuz why the hell not? #Scriptsky

I might just finish THE BONE ORCHARD this weekend. #Scriptsky

Oof... tough night Got both the flu and covid vaccines yesterday Minor arm pain, but boy oh boy did my joints ACHE all night long. Every single one of em I predict a nap later today

Channel 7 News LA showing a car chase It's 4:11pm on Thursday HOW IS THERE ZERO TRAFFIC ON THE 110 FWY! I've NEVER seen anything BUT traffic on the 110 FWY! Telling ya... if you need to get someplace fast, like REALLY fast, just call the cops and have them chase you Traffic will vanish!

At the urging of "The Mayor" #IYKYK, I submitted a script to an ISA opportunity Based on the prompt, I don't see how anybody else could possibly have a script that matches the requirement closer than mine does That said, I've probably jinxed the whole thing and they won't even read it #Scriptsky

I created a pitch deck I completed both a 1 page and 2 page synopsis I've made a dialogue and action pass through everything so far I shall procrastinate no longer I am sequestering myself in Ye Olde Writing Loft to finish my work in process... THE BONE ORCHARD #scriptsky

I wonder how many of the silly words kids use these days are the result of auto-correct errors they were just too lazy to fix? #skibbidi

If they don't like how we reacted to Charlie Kirk's death, they are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY gonna hate how we react when the Orange Turd Blossom takes the last train to Clarksville

Working on my latest, which I've renamed (again... for the last time?): THE BONE ORCHARD Still making a dialogue pass and description tightening before I head into the final 10-20 pages. Some might call it procrastination. I call it writing. Here's a snippet from a critical point in the story...

Excited that the multi-award winning tv pilot short, Curiosity, that I EP'd in '21 is available to the public. Starring @bobclendenin.bsky.social, Eddie Steeples, John Lehr, Joseph D. Reitman. Created/Written by Tasha Hardy & Directed by James Sunshine. #scriptsky #filmsky @timwestland.bsky.social

At the podiatrist with my wife and they have a machine called, "The Micromat 3000" Yeah, don't Google that.

Anybody else notice an influx of people following you the last two or three days? A bunch of "Hott Chix" with no posts Lots of InvestBros And one guy who followed me and then shit on Hollywood as a reply to one of my posts tonight Curate your followers folks If they suck, Block em Block em all

Watching the replay of the Emmy's Watching Angela Bassett walk out on stage... and I gotta say... if I met her, I don't think I could look *directly* at her. She's simply too stunning.

If you’re in the San Diego Area, I’ll be giving a presentation on “Fandom for Fame: How to Use What You Love to Get the Right Attention” at @filamcreatorcon.bsky.social this Saturday at the Chula Vista Library. Check it out and all the other rad Pinoy creators. #FIlAmCreatives #FilAm #ScriptSky

A glorious day, so I'm writing outside. Reading through my entire script before tackling the last 10-20 pages.

It's Vote Time! When I started my current Crime/Thriller script, it was called: THE BODY FARM I loved that, but it felt too much like a Horror title, so I changed it to: THE MURDER PLACE (credit @stephenking.bsky.social) Which title do you like best? #Scriptsky #NoWrongAnswers #Screenwriting

It's Saturday Night, so of course I started working on a pitch deck for my latest script... THE MURDER PLACE (Yes, I still have pages left to write, but I had a different set of muscles that demanded exercise, so I gave in to them) #Scriptsky #Screenwriting #ViolaDavis #PitchDeck #Writing

Pet Peeve: When a Scifi script/movie gets it STUPIDLY wrong Like in STAR TREK (2009), where Spock (Nimoy) wants to stop the Romulan sun from going supernova because it will "...destroy the Galaxy" WTAF?!?! How'd THAT get past ANYONE? The worst science screwup I can think of. Just plain dumb!

@fadeinpro.com is better than the other one... You know... the one that charges you for every update of a product that always seems to crash no matter how many fixes they make? Make the smart move Ditch Final Draft once and for all, and switch to FADEIN PRO

Just another reminder that the overwhelming majority of scripts that get optioned/sold/produced never did jack squat in any contest, while the majority of scripts that did anything cool or useful for the writer did so because (drum roll...) 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚.

Just saw, "Downton Abbey - The Grand Finale" Terrific ending to a beloved show. I shall miss it Standout performance by Arty Froushan as Noel Coward. He threw himself into that role and should win an award. Truly excellent And Thank You, Julian Fellowes, for all the seasons and shows. Bravo!

#FirstPageFriday THE MURDER PLACE While investigating a serial killer's burial ground hidden in plain sight on a forensic "Body Farm", a detective uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that forges an unholy link between the killer, the victims, and the darkest chapter of her own history. #Scriptsky
