I’m down!
Here’s hoping
Very sweaty movie.
The working title was Even Better Star Wars.
Every dumbass right now: Sinners got 16 Oscar nominations it’s officially OVERRATED and it’s actually a BAD movie!

Confederates too.
There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve.
If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel.
Just. Keep. Writing.
Many of you are psyching yourself up to start that dream project in 2026.
AWESOME
Just keep in mind that devoting your free time to achieving your dreams is not the same as Hustle Culture. Keep your mind on you and your art and don't fall into the trap of thinking every minute should be monetized.
The dog from ADVENTURE TIME saying "Sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something."

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."
"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."
"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"
"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
So Dracula doesn’t recruit The Grabber into the Dark Universe?
Congrats. I have my ticket ready.
To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.
YIKES, no thanks. I’m gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I don’t wanna do.
Loved seeing Luther in this episode!
Same!
Here is Robert Redford reading a script with a friend.
Rest in cinematic glory, Sundance Kid!
Yes
There are 79 working days left in 2025. If you write 1 1/2 pages a day, every working day, you can finish a script before New Years. If you write 3 pages a day, you could complete a novel.
1000 words a day, roughly 4 pages, and you could write three scripts.
A page at a time comes together quickly
Where are barrels of lube?
