Nick “Rocket” Rodriguez (he/him)

Still absolutely BEGGING other professional writers to STOP TALKING SHIT about films and TV. It’s so gross. It helps no one. It’s so easy to STFU.

I think it’s telling that rather than funding a world that allows more people to be able to make art, the goal of the tech overlords is to plagiarize the history of the arts to get rid of human makers and technique while concentrating more wealth into the hands of a few. I don’t know how that’s good

Together was such a libido destroyer of a movie. But it was also fantastic. Lord help the folks who double-feature this and The Substance. XD

FUCK ‘EM UP. GO FOR THE JUGULAR!!

The way people justify it is always the same: "Ohh, the stuff it gives me is crap, but then that helps me figure out what I want to do".

So... you can't even come up with BAD ideas yourself?

We would switch off as kids! No rhyme or reason. I do still say “aunt” or “uncle” a lot, but not exclusively.

Just add off*** next time lol

Just overheard someone say they like to use ChatGPT because if they use the same word a lot, they can have ChatGPT replace it with a synonym. And I’m just like… that’s a thesaurus. You want a thesaurus.

The most liberating mindset shift for writers? Understanding that the person across the desk in that big meeting is HOPING you're amazing. They need great writers as much as you need opportunities. You're not being judged—you're being discovered.

Big day for anthropomorphized animal animated features.

If you're desperate to only ever experience comforting media then you don't want art, you want a literary gated community.

We were designed to create that's why you get depressed when all you do is consume.

It's always wild to me when there's been a formula that has worked for literally 100 years that's allowed artistic masterpieces to be produced and after only like 20 years of pulling back on that everyone is like 'WHAT MAKES THE MAGIC??? WHY PEOPLE LIKE QUALITY NON-SOULESS CORPO SLOP ANIMATION???'

AUTOCORRECTED*** GDI

IT FINALLY HAPPENED: “duck” autocorrect to “fuck”!! I feel so vindicated!!

How to start every Hollywood meeting right

Most writers spend weeks perfecting their pitch but bomb in the first 30 seconds of every meeting. Here's the one thing you should prepare for that nobody talks about. 🧵⤵️

This Star Trek: Strange New Worlds musical episode is so silly I FUCKING LOVE IT.

This looks wonderful. It's giving just the right amount of Del Toro along with some Bram Stoker's Dracula, and that's exactly an aesthetic that I love.

I'm sure they did, and I'm sure they're equally upset that they were right lol

This would be so fucking funny if it wasn't so fucking INFURIATING.

That's BRILLIANT.

I haven’t seen something so wondrous and awe-inspiring in a very long time.

I fear that Fantastic Four: First Steps is still on my mind this morning. I fear I may never stop thinking about it.

Yes! I think we maybe spoke about this that one time?

Holy shit. Fantastic Four: First Steps was maybe… perfect?

I featured a Power Morpher as a center piece at my wedding so YEP.

Omgggg

Bro. You have no idea the level of excitement I have for this.

THOSE ARE AIRBENDER COLORS. 😭😭😭
