after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

I like this shot from episode one. The camera doesn’t follow when Luke comes down the stairs; it only tilts down after Luke says “I’m sorry”, at which point he almost immediately leaves the frame. The camera follows the emotional beats over the action. Simple but effective visual storytelling.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

You don’t need AI; AI is not “inevitable.” That’s a lie being fed to you by companies who are going to lose a fuckton of money if they don’t convince you that AI is something you can’t live without.

Re-read this for the first time in several years, and I think I can confidently call it my favorite King novel. It encompasses everything that draws me to King — all his strongest themes explored in a manner that is as pure and concise as ever.

I went through the same thing at 24. After all, Stephen King had been published at 24. 🙃 But no career is on the same timeline. We all have so much living to do and writing techniques to learn before it clicks. Then one day you wake up and you’re there. Not the way you imagined, but in YOUR OWN way.

WEREWOLVES was rejected by every film festival we submitted it to. Then Universal bought it. This echoes my entire career. Never a festival darling but always got my films distributed by major labels. Don’t let anyone stop you.

Really, truly, this might be one of the best scores ever composed for TV, @jagward.bsky.social.

A tiny sneak peak from Day 2 of FAIRY DUST! We’re to Day 3 and the introduction of our fantasy world! Like what you see? Don’t forget to visit our Kickstarter at tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS and help us bring this film over the finish line!

Watched ep 4 “The Twin Thing” last night. Might be my favorite. Oliver Jackson-Cohen is amazing in it, but it’s @iamjulianhilliard.bsky.social who makes it impossible for your heart not to break for Luke. Also, hands down the scariest ghost in the whole series.

Currently rewatching, as we do every year. Like revisiting old friends.

Hey @crobertcargill.bsky.social, any progress on this?

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

So there is actually, quite literally no level of fame that you can achieve without some nowhere talentless asshole insisting you work for free in exchange for “exposure.” Good to fucking know!!!

The Kickstarter is Live! Help us bring this queer dark fantasy film come to life and get our actors paid and fed with a donation today. What are you waiting for? Head over www.kickstarter.com/projects/fai... and let's hit our goal early!

Looking for a director for my psychological thriller murder mystery that shines light on fibromyalgia and mental health. Paid; Union; Indianapolis, IN is the location. Please send references! #filmsky youtu.be/vzKfRyvJFYI?...

The first assignment in one of my 3D animation courses is to remake a film studio logo animation (vanity card) as closely as possible, but change the text. I made my own. Fellow GenX folks will remember this one. #b3d

A reminder that Hustle Culture and Striver Culture are two different things. Believing that every available waking moment of your day should be monetized is toxic AF; striving for an achievable dream that could change your life by giving it a few hours of yours a day isn't. You're worth betting on.

Today's mood:

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

There’s one right answer to “when does Halloween season start,” and the answer is August 18th.

We need to clarify something about theme. Theme isn't a moral. It's THE question your story can't stop asking. It's a wound every character shares. It's the gravity well that warps reality around itself. It's what your story's really about, but it's rarely asked outright. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

I thought there was something familiar about Olyphant’s look in ALIEN: EARTH…

Finally checked this one out over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. Go in blind if you can.

“Two for two on movies last night.” Looking at their page, looks like the other movie was THE LOVED ONES. Been a minute since I saw that one but if memory serves it’s good company 🙏🏻.

Looks like fans of THE PITT are finding their way to GHOSTS OF THE VOID.

Hey— you can create your best pieces or write your best stories, & they won’t land with everyone. This doesn’t mean you’re failing or there isn’t an audience out there for your work. It only means that you are not for everyone. You have stories only you can tell, and your stories matter. Onward. 🖤

I'm guessing with WGAW and WGAE leaving X we may get more screenwriters and film/tv people generally arriving So... if you're new... #scriptsky will find screenwriters from all over and posts that use that tag will appear in the Scriptsky feed. #scriptskyuk has more of a U.K. focus

HBO Max today:

Post a scene inside a car 🚘🖤 (From TV or Film) 📺🎥 Ooh, I know one! 😏 Fun fact: we shot the masked guys at 32fps, the same frame rate they shot the ghost in A GHOST STORY. Fun fact 2: you can watch it on Tubi. Link in my bio. Fun fact 3: you should.

What movie did you see way too young?

Mike’s Nick Offerman impression is 🤌🏻

Shit sucks, everything is on fire, but I truly hope you have a great weekend surround by friends, family, love, and your hobbies. You've survived another week of the new normal and you deserve it.

A reminder that this is YOUR social media experience. You don't owe anyone shit. Not your attention, your ideas, your debate, your brainspace. You can curate your Bluesky experience however you want and there is no intellectual inferiority to do so. This is not a public square; its a fucking app.

Date night with my favorite person, with a movie by one of my favorite filmmakers, based on a story by one of my favorite authors. #nowseated #lifeofchuck.

Bluesky is one of the only major social media sites that still doesn't bury your posts for including news sources or outside links and lets you customize your experience to best suit your mental health. It's why there's an endless stream of opinion pieces about how it's cooked

The irony meter is broken. The shit is dead. And this fucking killed it.

Pretty cool that we’re getting @markhamillofficial.bsky.social in two King adaptations this year.

A reminder that so many of you out there are rad fucking people who deserve love, freedom, and safety, and THAT'S what we're fighting for. We will crush these people not for the sake of crushing them - as they wish to do to us- but so every American, and so many others, can live their lives in peace

I want champion Clive Barker’s IN THE HILLS, THE CITIES for the next volume of LOVE, DEATH, AND ROBOTS.

Apparently this is a hot take, but I think we should worry about genre boundaries less. A good movie is a good movie, no matter how you categorize it. And horror? It always thrives, whether in the margins or at the height of box office success.
