@neilreynolds.bsky.social - Mazel tov on The Burbs well-deserved pickup!!!

I love John Carpenter's THE THING and don't want to see it remade - but in all fairness, that movie was a remake of THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD.

There is an actor on sm with whom I have a couple of loose connections. I don't have a literary agent or manager, so going through their reps would most likely be fruitless. Is there an acceptable way to approach them about a project I wrote with them in mind without invading their online space?

Miyazaki ROCKS! If you can get to London, go see the stage version of MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO on the West End. It is MAGICAL!

Just to be clear, being head of the Department of Homeland Security has apparently become a casting call for a reboot of DUMB AND DUMBER.

This is not a military intervention, it is an act of war that is illegal based upon the Constitution and our UN Charter.

When GOP/MAGA assaults LGBTQTIA+ rights/women's rights/BIPOC rights, Dems/Progressives should:
1) Say ONE SENTENCE defending the rights of that group by name - ONCE
2) Shift to how the GOP/MAGA is attacking that group's HUMAN rights and rights as an AMERICAN CITIZEN.
3) REPEAT STEP 2

I am so excited for this show!

I want to thank @turnipfilms.bsky.social for some great thoughts on my short film screenplay. Looking forward to diving back into it! The Boston area has some great filmmakers on here. Let's be better about being connected and building that community. Stay warm and dry, everyone!

I try to remove myself from the absolute sh!tshow of the current world for a few hours every day. In honor of that, I have a question:
Who has the bandwidth to give a read to a 17-page short film I've written? DM me here!

General question for anyone with genuine, studio experience: when is it OK to use the phrase "inspired by a true story?"
Meaning, how far afield ft from the actual events can you go, and still make that connection?

You're lucky. That is extremely rare. I would be interested in how many theaters are selling out the 3 showings of the longer movies, though. I suppose the possibility of a 4th and 5th screening is worth wanting shorter movies.

If they cut down the number of videos before the movies to just 3 or 4 previews, that would help, too.

Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell???? A banger cast to reboot THE 'BURBS!!! Kudos to @neilreynolds.bsky.social, Celeste Hughey, Seth McFarlane, and everyone involved!

Also, BIG fan of your work. Absolutely loved DOOM PATROL. YOU was terrific. Great storytelling on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Looking forward to THE 'BURBS.

@neilreynolds.bsky.social - Hello Sir! I'm Jacey Bokuniewicz's brother and I, too, worked at Greater Boston Stage. Nice to cyber-meet you.

I'm telling you, Phillip J. Frye may have actually been a genius.

This isn't about drugs.
This isn't about human rights.
This is about oil.
This is about the Epstein files.
This is about Jack Smith.

The Bigfoot episodes of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN were EPIC! Those and the Mars Lander one were times when Steve Austin couldn't just overwork his adversary. As you can tell, 4-7 year old me was greatly impacted by them.

Crackers, bread, or straight out of the jar - hardcore style?

Ok. That almost sent a jet of iced coffee streaming from my nose!

Mazel tov!

Did one this AM. 80 pages down on the first draft - looking to get out at 95.

OK.
I have a pilot that I wrote inspired by the hysterical @danagould.bsky.social
My dream cast includes @davidkrumholtz.bsky.social , Ellie Kemper, @richardkind.bsky.social , and Rose Abdoo.
Send good thoughts and all that other stuff to help me will this into existence!

Question for "the room":

Beyond the true shit-show of the industry (and world) in general...

How do we feel the market is for half-hour dramedies?

Never apologize for a writing sprint...or coffee and cake. Especially coffee and cake.

Aaagh! On the train. Will join in when I get home.
