I tried, but my wife wouldn't let me leap from behind the steering wheel of our car on a busy highway with our child in the car. She's heartless.

I saw a little field mouse get run over by a giant pickup with oversized tires and if that isn't a metaphor for *everything* I don't know what is.

That's a light warm-up for me.

Only thing I can think to do is helicopter my dick. Think that'll raise enough money?

Okay, but what if I think what I wrote is good but everyone else who has ever read my work thinks it's bad? I know it's good and everyone else is wrong. What then?

39: On Lost Time – Craig Gusmann

My birthday has already past, but I did publish a birthday post on my blog again. Sorry that it's a bit of a downer: www.craiggusmann.com/39-on-lost-t...

Or maybe it's time for a collab?

Maybe your next script should be a RomCom set on Friday the 13th? Smells like a million bucks to me.

Need someone (you?) to buy my screenplay first.

One year ago today I began a four-month sabbatical. I saw a lot of movies, did some volunteering, finished a novel and wrote a screenplay, and slipped into debt.

I was also less stressed and more present than I've ever been. Miss you, sabbatical.

Once again I'm behind the times. I just finished my spec script for Indiana Jones 6/Mission:Impossible 9 (it's a crossover).

Personally, I had you ranked as number one. You need to amp up the desperation this year if you want to take the crown.

I actually saw that in the theater. Didn't love it. Too awkward for me. Though the tripping scene is really funny.

I honestly didn't care for Companion, either. Felt like there was a lot to explore there, sort of like Ex Machina, and the movie just decided against it.

100% in agreement with you on OBAA and Sinners. I would add:

Ballad of Wallis Island
The Luckiest Man in America
Predator: Badlands
Superman
Black Bag

I mean, the interrogation scene alone makes the movie worthy of a nomination IMHO.

Wait, aren't you doing the Oscar nominations? Is this the best movie list? Did you leak it early?!

It starts with a short video on how ridiculous the original Air Bud is, and then when Jon catches wind of the remake he goes all in on all of it. He even angles for a role in the new movie.

Jon Oliver has done MULTIPLE videos on this. It is a saga. They're all on the Last Week Tonight channel, if you're interested.

Self-publishing is all about consistency and expectation. Even if you're slow, can you consistently write and publish, so that your readers know when to expect each part of the series? If yes, then sure, release the first book. If no, then I would wait until I could do a few releases consistently.

Probably more money in that, honestly.

I have a 200 page script all about farting on dicks so I think I'm ready to tackle Hollywood.

A pull quote on the back of the book SUPERINTELLIGENCE by Nick Bostrom that says, "Worth reading... We need to be super careful with AI." -- Elon Musk

Randomly grabbed "Superintelligence" by Nick Bostrom off my shelf to flip through and noticed something interesting on the back cover...

This tracks, considering what a struggle my budget is right now.
