I'm about 20% into a new script. I've got all the beats planned. There's a crucial bit that moves the story along that I was proud of when I noted it down. Funny stuff. I'm watching the new Naked Gun movie. THAT BIT APPEARS IN THE MOVIE! WTF?! At least it confirms that I can write Hollywood humor.

Every 6 months or so, my TV will randomly raise the volume to double the regular level. No clue why. It just raised it right as Jennifer Aniston said the words "the ass" so that's nice.

Crime of the century! A 15 year old just stole the bowl full of candy from my porch. I am now missing a bowl and candy. Why isn't mainstream media covering this?!

WTF is happening in Japan?! www.youtube.com/shorts/hZLkK...

@ausretrogamer.bsky.social You and Kevin Smith should hang out: www.instagram.com/p/DPHVht7D7Ab/

No-one in my life would care so it's here in case someone says "oooooh" or even "aaaaah". Anyone know the Guile scroller glitch in SF2 where he infinitely scrolls from top to bottom of screen? It just happened in the original Fatal Fury. The CPU (as Duck King) did it, which is wild. That is all.

I have no idea how many people this will reach, but Van has always been a solid #WGA choice. If you have any say in the election process, please consider him. He legitimately cares about writers and the industry as a whole.

@ausretrogamer.bsky.social A new Double Dragon game for your Neo Geo: ozzyouzo.itch.io/double-dragon Spoiler: It doesn't suck.

I asked AI to generate a photo of how it perceives itself. No hinting of any kind. Just what it thinks it would look like if it were human. This is what it came up with. I asked what its name would be. Alex.

Ordering from In-N-Out. - 13 minutes to get to the guy that takes your order - 15 minutes to get to the pay window - 5 minutes to get the order This is why I don't go there very often. Also because the food isn't very good.

I just came across a popular site where order confirmation pages are being indexed by search engines, so I can see everything related to the order. THEN, you view the source and there's a data dump of everything related to the invoice. Database ID's, package details, notes, URLs, etc. *sigh*

I also visited Ferris Bueller's house when I was in LA last year. He's my hero.

A few weeks ago I visited Cyberdyne Systems because I like to visit movie locations, and definitely not to let our future robot overlords know that I respect and admire them. The last photo is where the police hid themselves to stop a robotic overlord from shooting at them from a window.

No one is talking about this, but I'm pretty sure Costco / Kirkland paper towels are now thinner. #shrinkflation

I watched an '80s romantic comedy that I'd never seen before. Quite a few scenes (one in particular) had the same feel to the movie I've written. I take that as a positive because that '80s/'90s romantic comedy feel is what I was aiming for. Shame there's no market for it these days. #ScriptSky

I don't know if it's AI or sloppy upscaling/cleaning, but this is sacrilege. Everyone looks artificially smooth, and the text is ridiculous. More reason to keep older physical media releases.

Terminator 2D: No Fate looks amazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkMF... An officially licensed, old school action platformer for Switch, PS4/5, Xbox and PC. Supposedly "announced at a later date" will be retro platforms, so maybe SNES/Genesis/etc too? reef.direct for physical (collector) purchases.

I never saw "Wayne's World" at the cinema. Just TV and home video. Turns out the "Stairway To Heaven" riff, which is obviously incorrect, was correct in the theatrical release but Led Zeppelin wanted $100k for it, so every DVD/BD/etc. release has the generic riff. But the 4K restores it! TIL!

@msausretrogamer.bsky.social Even though you're not around to see this, the first tweet I ever sent you was 2014-04-11 22:31:46 (GMT): "@ausretrogamer @msausretrogamer Where do you plug in your controller?" Almost 11 years ago!

@davidkrumholtz.bsky.social First tweet I ever sent you was 2014-04-06 02:28:13 (GMT) "@DaveKrumholtz Good boy" I've been calling you "Good boy" for almost 11 years.

@cloudscout.com First tweet I ever sent you was 2014-08-23 02:06:55 (GMT): "@Cloudscout Very cool stuff. Would've been more impressive if things were synced. eg. Object from monitor 1 scrolls to monitor 2." Over 10 years!

@ausretrogamer.bsky.social First tweet I ever sent you was 2012-11-11 03:46:48 (GMT): "@ausretrogamer Workbench on HD disks with the second hole taped up. It feels so wrong but I guess that's all you can do now." Over 12 years. Holy cow.

I just learned about Paramount Ads Manager which uses a CPM model to display ads on Paramount platforms (like +): adsmanager.paramount.com $500 min, which isn't bad. Don't know if there's conflicts of interest, but it's the sort of thing I see @vanthebrand.bsky.social & @bugmane.bsky.social using.

TIL there's a band called "Larkin Poe". The band was named after their great-great-great-great grandfather and NOT the movie Con Air, so I'm now questioning whether I know anything at all.

I know "thoughts and prayers" aren't exactly helpful, and are generally ridiculed, but that's all some of us can do :( So, thoughts and prayers to everyone in LA! Hope everyone, and their property, is safe!

Yo @davidkrumholtz.bsky.social Come to my house. We can play Final Fight. You can be Haggar.

My Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation inflatable no longer works. If there's any one image that depicts how my life has been this last year, this is it.

I'm at the "I enjoy the John Travolta/Capital One/Saturday Night Fever commercial" point of my life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFCj...

FOR SALE - The Beekeeper UNPRINTED DIGITAL CODE RARE L@@K!

I bought these dumbbells with the intention of lifting 35lb on each arm, but the box has informed me that's incorrect so I will be lifting a 70lb box instead.

Turns out the company "Jack Links" was established in the future (the year 21,480) and in an alternate timeline/universe (B). No joke, I thought they were just a company from Wisconsin.

2024-09-23 - The Spice Girls in Zigazig-huh? Knowing the song "Wannabe" was completed in 30 minutes, what I wrote isn't so absurd. I really tried to get this one to fit onto 1 page but couldn't. #Screenwriting #Screenplays #Hollywood #SeekingManagement
