would honestly rather die than set something in modern day

Martin Scorsese: ‘I grew up close to violence. It’s a part of being human’ https://bit.ly/43YMCmL

tchotchke is such a great word, like what the fuck is going on there

Best. Movie. Ever. One of my favourites.

the cinema should show movies at like 3am, that's where all the real ones would be

Okay. Well. I think I’m a bit too old for Stranger Things. Lol. I was secretly hoping it was gonna age with me but it’s calling me unc.

You can find ways to make things more complicated later. Learn how to make them simple first.

i like Vecna in Stranger Things but i'd be lying if I said I didn't wish he moved like Jim Carrey in the Grinch.

I’m Skyler White yo

I can't tell you how important it is to keep coming up with stuff in your own voice, no matter how tempted you are to pretend you’re someone else.

Guillermo Del Toro's The Odyssey or I walk

Another image by Chris Wormell. This is from his exquisite work in an edition of Edith Hamilton's MYTHOLOGY and I curse the publisher to the Hell of the Upside Sinners for only stating the artist's name in squint print.

Could a depressed person do this? *I do not move*

mood re-set:

"call me a fascist if you want sweetie, call me anything you like as long as you call me". fantastic. beautiful. stellar. life affirming. couldn't write it.

we're back we're cooked we're cooked we're back

I think some of you still don't realise that some of them that work forces are the same that burn crosses, despite how many times I heard you sing it in the club

funniest possible timeline we're living in right now

I hate it when an asshole enjoys the same films as you. like how'd you get here?

City of lights. In Fiji they have these iridescent algae, they come out once and year in the water. That's what it looks like out there 🖤

The fact he was homosexual in The Departed went completely over my head the first 80 times.

I love writing so much 😭

Frankenstein is actually the best movie I could have watched between Halloween and Christmas, it won't get any better than that.

cried when he was reading stories to the blind man

Yup. Hire artists. Use public domain images. Take a picture!

Rest assured, if your screenplay is accompanied by shitty AI illustrations, I will not read it. You cannot disrespect artists like that and expect me to read 24,000 of your words.

“It’s just me and you now, sport.”

It Ain’t Me Babe: THE OGRE OF ATHENS from Radiance Blu-ray A frequently surprising and sometime shocking film, Nikos Koundouros' Ο Δράκος (1956) is considered an absolute classic Greek film and it is easy to see why. Known as The Ogre of Athens (as well as The Beast of Athens) to English language…

I've been mulling over this for a while, but: Stranger Things could've been a monster-of-the-week style show, like Buffy was. Vecna runs in the background, appearing at the end of each season, with only the final season focusing him. That way they could've grown up.

If you've read my occult novel Colossus with a Poison Tongue, please help me out by giving it a rating on Goodreads! If you haven't, the ebook is 99 cents on Amazon & Kobo. Links below.

I love interviews with directors where they're like "it really took him ten years to make this film, this is the film he's been trying to make for ten years" because I'm sat in my house with no film made like yes queen I feel you on that

I'm very moved by things, I never think it's embarrassing to be moved by things, I try not to get in that cynical way where movies and books don't move me anymore, in fact I seek out things that move me, I lean hard into that feeling, because your heart can shrink and it can grow

this is all fun and games but we're straying a little too close to suggesting the toys are careworn immortals who can only know peace through their own violent destruction

I need to see trump in front of a live camera unscripted right now

When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Just remembered Tina Turner's dead thought she was still alive for a second.

not me desperately trying to finish the script before I find more characters to fall in love with

Curiosity is what I turn to when I get depressed, I dunno if that works for anyone else. When the night seems very long, I just pick a corner of the world and I learn something about the people who live there, and I keep learning until I go "wow I had no idea". That cures me.

how do I get out of here

The entire world needs therapy

Beautiful film

Boning up on the classics

It's Remembrance Day, so I wanted to say I hate war, including the ones going on right now and any hint of civil war. War is bad. Let's remember how we got to that and make sure it never happens again. The world over. No poppy emoji, here's every flower: 🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐💮🌸🪷🪻

oh I wasn't ... even ... remotely familiar with his game

Smite him, God, if you’re up there, you know the one I mean.

There's nothing like writing. I get to travel the world, I get to travel in time. It's amazing.

You know what? I wasn't about him in that way but I just saw a vid of him in a puffy white smock and black leg-hugging pants and Mamdani is pretty sexy actually.
