Had an absolute blast watching Eenie Meanie. Samara Weaving absolutely knocks it out of the park.
Me: *waits patiently for the latest @markokloos.bsky.social novel to be released*
Corvus comes out, and 24 hours later I've demolished it in one sitting...
Back to waiting for Eclipse and Cygnus...
Ps. Corvus is a great addition to the Frontlines series and one any Sci-fi fan will enjoy.
Thanks so much!

🚨 DEADLINE REMINDER 🚨
There's only ONE WEEK LEFT to submit your unpublished fiction manuscript for consideration in our collaboration with Simon Kinberg's Genre Films (THE MARTIAN, CINDERELLA, DEADPOOL!) blcklst.com/programs/the...
I can't be the only one who finds themselves constantly thinking back to the cinematography and direction in Athena? Romain Gavras & Matias Boucard delivered and then some.
It's great to see Channel 4 breaking new ground by commissioning digital dramas. Beth is a meditative and delicately told story by Uzo Oleh of a couple's attempt to conceive.
Death Valley is delightfully charming. Really hoping it gets a second series as the chemistry between Timothy Spall & Gwyneth Keyworth is bloody lovely.
Indeed, and hoping that this platform can thrive as I need somewhere digital to be full of creatives!
I really feel the original doesn't get the love it deserves. Hearing this makes me so excited for the sequel!
So excited for this book!
