People that call without announcing themselves prior are the heights of inconsiderate. Please, drop dead. ☠️ My phone is for my convenience, not yours. Sorry, but it’s live and let live or this. No happy medium. No purgatory. Just a deep hell of ringing hurt. Yes. It bothers me that much.

They could have just called Ikkis something like “Ghar Nahi Aaoge” 🫢 #filmsky #bollywood

Rick-rolled in 2025. Maybe the internet’s still got some juice left. ‘Twas just the Easter egg in that Easter Xmas film we needed! A sign of hope and faith that the cyberdyne skynets haven’t defeated us yet. We live to die another day, to live free and die hard… to.. bah.. you get the drift..

Week 52 is over already. These last days a mere formality. They only exist in the world of slavery. Yes, corporate culture does count. Not a limerick. Not a haiku. Is this poetry?

Entered Nakatomi Tower. See y’all on the other side.

Oh wait, we’re on week 50? Better start looking at my screenshots for potential listicles that I could make, but probably won’t.

Bested by an almond croissant.

Third time (the deep dive, application and sense making phase) into “Save the Cat Writes Horror”. I clearly need 3 more highlights for everything to click into place. @jamie-nash.bsky.social and I are childhood friends now — in my head.

Fascinating read from almost a decade ago. Ultimately it suggests the nodes in unity are the “value”. When combined with the growing AI advances, do we maintain any semblance of control in the very near future of sentients? #musing #societalfear #beesknees #hivemind

"It all starts with the cat." Screenwriting Tip Of The Day by William C. Martell - Snowball! Escalating Conflict via @glasp.bsky.social www.scriptsecrets.net/tips/tip371.... Could the film "Caught Stealing" have been called: "Save the Cat" ? 😀 #filmsky #moviesky #screenwriting

Black Dynamite > A House of Dynamite

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

All these AI advances happening all around me and yet my watch still doesn’t passive aggressively taunt or engage in a discourse with me about my life choices in the voice of K.I.T.T. I don’t think my demands are unreasonable. I expected more from 2025.

Sometimes life surprises you. Most times. Every goddamn time.

Left-handed Zora — Voh ek zehreeli haseen naagin hai!

Learned the term “performative reading” exists today. Find it quite ironic conceptually, as well as the fact there is now a term for it, as well as the fact that “influencers” are being maligned for it. Can’t help but if I’ve misunderstood something? Influencer = Actor. Performative = Pretending.

Feel I’ve been doing adulting all wrong. A more childlike approach would have been more joyful. Still time to fix that. *shoves-hand-down-cookie-jar*

It’s truly impressive how well South Park remains immersed in current events. For decades it’s managed to educate ignorant people like myself — more than any news channel or the algorithm driven slim view of social media that reaches my view. Kudos to the makers.

It’s finally out for the public! Haven’t been this excited for a software update since Encarta 96. #obsidian #bases

Hibernated. Worked some. Caffeinated. Worked some more. Burned out. Fell ill. Here I am... What did I miss?

Myself, I feel very safe.

— Just, no. The rise of the em-dashers is an affront to my identity. All these GPT LLM loving sons of peaches be seeding their outputs to the world like their own. You were not language savvy before, nor were you one to concern yourself with the visual aesthetic of a sentence. — Mahatma Gandhi

What’s the topic of discussion?

I miss seeing the world with rose tinted glasses. Ignorance actually was bliss. Such is the muddy tainted lens of hindsight, I suppose. #morningmusing #newsoftheworld #lulz

One of my most favourite films. I’d seen it thrice in theatres and loved it every time just the same. Has held up on every rewatch since too.

Fast Fantastic and Four yes?? #family

Totally agree with @kermodemovie.bsky.social on the film Companion — the marketing gives away much.. and it still delivers. But those that just watch it blind will have a better “experience” with it. #filmsky #moviesky #nospoilers

🟠🟢🔵 | John Wick | 🎥 ✍️ | Derek Kolstad Been a few years since I last saw this. Loved the setup still. The payoff and climax felt somewhat underwhelming this time round though. #FilmSky #moviesky #letterboxd

🟠🟢🔵 | Desperados | 🎥 ✍️ | Ellen Rapoport Didn't hate it. Didn't care for it. Attempted it as a "background watch", which I feel is just not for me. #FlmSky #moviesky #letterboxd

Don’t worry guys… I’ve been caffeinating regularly… Generally.. 1 Iced Cortado 1 Hot Cortado

Stop smirking!! Michael C. Hall’s awkward interactions, even in interviews where he kinda bumbles through are charming.They feel like an extension of Dexter, the right fit. This kid is just too darned smug all the time.

I’ve started recently reading these Page 1 posts that I used to just scan. A couple of weeks on, my belief is reinforced from my dev pleb days that it’s very very clear which scripts and/or films I’d enjoy… Right there on Page One. Note to all writers: First impressions really do matter!

Now that we’re halfway through #DexterOriginalSin it seems like a good time to reflect. Overall the vibe is on point. The plusses of original #Dexter 🔪 feel retained, the music, humour, tone, tension, the VO. Even the story structure. The minus I hope they lose. Last episodes that don’t satisfy.

🟠🟢🔵 | Boiling Point | 🎥 ✍️ | James B. Harris Many familiar faces before they got to shine. Goes to show how patience and perseverance pays. Showing up is a large part of getting that “lucky” break.  As for the film itself, Pretty abysmal! #FilmSky #MovieSky #letterboxd

Richard Brody on why DVD owners shouldn’t throw out their collections just yet.

If you see this, post a red-haired character #Filmsky #Movies #Moviesky Sidebar: Yea’ it may have been TV, but many double episodes were no less than films, the pilot included. #TVsky

Happy New Year! It’s 2025!!!

Screenshot of the Day is going to be my brand of social media innovation this year. Do share yours too. Screenshots as well as innovations. lol #bluesky #partially #impartially #happynewyear

🟠🟢🔵 | Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In | 🎥 ✍️ | Chan Tai-Lee Au Kin-Yee Lai Chun Shum Kwan-sin Hong Kong cinema is not so different from India. It's a soap opera much like Baahubali, but done in their authentic flavour. Enjoyable max! #FilmSky #MovieSky #letterboxd

The end is just the beginning.. Seems apt for some 31st of December reading, doesn’t it, or doesn’t it not? Companion: Hazelnut Praline Latte Temperature: Warm (like me) Q: How many newborns do you see in the workforce? A: Too many. > @wcmartell.bsky.social on rewrites for your screenplays.

🟠🟢🔵 | A Matter of Loaf and Death | 🎥 ✍️ | Nick Park, Bob Baker I have to give credit here for the quality consistency as I reach the end of my W&G binge! Not only do they have the right dosing of cheeky and meta references down, they even manage to surprise us every time, which is a feat in itself.

Learning that my favourite bickering uncles from sunny England and their film reviews which have been my weekly one stop for some decades now are actually on this platform. @simonmayo.bsky.social @kermodemovie.bsky.social @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social Merry Christmas indeed. Little Joys.

📚 | Love Story | ☑️ ✍️ | Erich Segal Knowing nothing about this, I have to admit it drew me in. Am glad I didn’t look it up, else I may not have started. Felt like a classic old movie, where the emotion really landed, particularly the final act. #Goodreads #Booksky

📺 If you just want a taste of Wallace & Gromit, here are some of their cracking contraptions from 2002.

🟠🟢🔵 | The Curse of the Were-Rabbit | 🎥 ✍️ | Nick Park, Bob Baker, Steve Box. Mark Burton Their first feature also unsurprisingly won an Oscar. Didn't remember it all that well, which only made the revisit a more a delightful experience. #FilmSky #MovieSky #letterboxd

Merry Xmas Everyone!

And that's letterboxd all caught up. Now ready for my Christmas re-watch of the best xmas film of all time! 🎄 #filmsky #xmas #hohoho

🟠🟢🔵 | A Close Shave | 🎥 ✍️ | Nick Park, Bob Baker Definitely some kudos to writer Bob Baker. His addition made for two back to back Oscars for Nick Park. And this was fabulous. An antagonist and a love story. And I'm now ready for my rewatch of the feature. #FilmSky #MovieSky #letterboxd
