There is no such fucking person as Tilly Norwood and it's intolerably stupid that we're even discussing this. It's like calling the T-Rex in Jurassic Park "Dorothy" and wondering what she will star in next. There's nothing there but some virgins writing code. Weird Science was funny, this blows.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it *incredibly* disturbing that the president of the US is very clearly losing his goddamned mind, but most of the media steadfastly refuse to even mention it.

My avatar painting does make me a bit more haggard than the photo it was based on, but I think it's fitting me more and more as time passes...

"we dont have the votes" has literally never stopped the right from "pointlessly banging their head against an issue for decades and theyve been rewarded for their persistence time and time again

One Battle after Another is PTA's best film since The Master but unlike anything else he's done. Propulsive, vital, creative and laugh-out-loud hilarious, its text is simple but its subtext is full of treasures. A must-see that I will rewatch when I take my son next weekend.

That's what you call a good hotel room view. Wolf Alice in 2 1/2 hours.

No, it's not erotica. Although there is that one scene...

Good morning to all the wives who love their big bear husbands.

Not one streak freeze yet this month! #duolingo

PS Sneakers is on YouTube for free. Or is Premium required? #filmsky

People who have actually been to film festivals have told me I got it right:) #booksky

Guys quit putting so much liquid in your babies

The MVP of the video for Wolf Alice's "How Can I Make It Okay?"

Holy shit ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER really is that bitch. Every 5 minutes you are handed some of the most virtuosic filmmaking since Michael Mann's HEAT. Hilarious, filled with phenomenal performances, this movie fucks, and it fucks so hard. Seeing it in 70mm was such a blast.

If I was Alden Ehrenreich in Weapons, I'd be home patiently waiting for my bombshell wife to come home and blocking that crazy teacher's number.

New Samsung Fold 5 update, BlueSky acting erratically.

I can see their value, but personally I feel disappointed watching a true crime documentary that ends with, "Well, we still have no clue who did this, please let us know if you have any tips." And hey, maybe like The Jinx the act of making the documentary solves the case! I just want resolution.

Why do all these corporate mercenaries look like models

I realized I didn't say anything about Robert Redford passing, partly because so many others have said it so much better. But the Sundance Film Festival alone guaranteed his place in history. He created a whole new dimension for cinema. Many modern legends owe him. He gave people like me hope.

I have reluctantly turned on notifications for Instagram. Like Facebook, half the time I get a notification then check, and it's the equivalent of, "oh, nothing, just wanted to say hi!"

Rest well, luminous queen.

Been following more on Instagram. Bluesky feels like a dead end for book promotion, I'm wary of annoying my circle of mutuals who see and interact with me, and I see other writers promote the hell out of their stuff on Insta. Maybe all the writers from my Twitter days are on there too?

The Star Wars fandom has found a reason to be really crabby again! But I loved the trailer and can't wait:)

Holy smokes, Folk Bitch Trio, I had no idea who you were an hour ago, but I am sold. music.youtube.com/watch?v=h4zz...

Imagine your band crashed and burned in the late 90s, you spent over a decade in the wild, then you got back on your feet and started dropping masterpieces AND ON YOUR FIFTH ALBUM since the comeback you drop this fucking tune: @suedehq.bsky.social youtu.be/gM2XO9coeLU?...

The entire full text of the First Amendment is that we will not be punished by the government for speaking our minds.

Sure there is. Fucking return it.

If you missed The Long Walk, and have a strong constitution, get thee to a theater this week.

I know "whelp" is wrong, but I like it and "welp" looks dumb so catch these fists. youtu.be/6Kjz89xYmS4?...

When you think I'm just some cheerful fellow then you read my stuff (except Poppycock!)

Between Alien: Romulus and The Long Walk, David Jonsson has absolutely certified himself as one of his generation's most promising young talents. Dude makes it look easy, he's so good.

After three months of procrastinating paralysis, I am finally painting the basement floor to prepare to move the stuff from the garage back down there and get the downstairs entertainment center going again. Gotta be able to park in the garage when it gets cold, but it's been warm;)

The Devil, Probably (1977) I think it's safe to say I'll take Bresson over Truffaut. I like the wacky Frenchness of the first poster, but the second one is truer to what the film is actually like. #filmsky

The Long Walk: an apt metaphor for trying to make it in Hollywood. Grueling. Beautiful at times. Heartbreaking, mostly. 10/10 would recommend!

Is The Long Walk not getting a big release? I'm seated in the smallest theater in the place. Excited though!

Can we get Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner starring in a movie together?

Can a great author have an absolutely terrible signature?

Honey and I were intrigued by the new trailer for Wuthering Heights. We looked at the other versions and settled on the Tom Hardy/Charlotte Riley one from 2009. I think the poster says it all! Talk about chemistry...they began dating and are still married today with two kids. Great movie, on PBS.

Wet Leg in Minneapolis tonight! If you see a tall handsome writer with a buxom wife, say hi;) youtu.be/jixxOkOUV40?...

Have heard multiple reports that my son often has an "entourage" surrounding him at school events, with girls whispering his name in hushed, excited tones.

Watched Return of the Jedi with my son today, a deeply fulfilling experience, but it struck me how many big action spectacle third acts are thinly veiled versions of this movie.

#FunPageFriday #ScriptSky Poppycock has 90 fun pages, but here's two as Quacko and Tonky find the world-eater Cy being wooed by some "real housewives" types...

"90s period pieces" haven't been quite as unique since folks realized cell phones kill a lot of movie suspense. Hell, even my first novel found a way to avoid cell phones for most of the story. A yacht at sea, yo!

My evolution: 1. Do it for Art! 2. I could profit? 3. Do it for Art!

My ex had a pretty noteworthy writing accomplishment today. She never thought she was a writer, but took a newspaper job to pay the bills and it spiraled upwards and upwards. I let her bask in her own glow and didn't bring up my own accomplishment today. No need. It's not a competition.

Why would a new album be released on YouTube before YouTube Music?

Martin and Sira, my first screenplay, so old it's now a 90s period piece, has its first laurel!!! #ScriptSky And howdy, neighbor @svenanarki.bsky.social!
