Remember when industrial-sized drones were EVERYWHERE in New Jersey and then they just...disappeared?

Anyone else find that eerie & weird, even for a state with a publication called Weird NJ?

Had one right outside my window-creeped me the hell out. But in this timeline it's Just Another Thing.

John reading Felicia? Oh man. I enjoy the heck out of this unexpected crossover! Can't wait to pick this up, @felicia.day ! Another feather in your creative cap-which by this point has to look very peacock-esque :)

Physical media was always cool, y'all just let these corporations blind you with a li'l subscription-based razzle dazzle and now they're in your pockets for life

Look, even The Doctor has to pay the bills. Time travel? IN THIS ECONOMY?

The unions. DGA. WGA. SAG. IATSE. We need to stand up for the jobs of those in the adjacent unions. No AI to replace actors. No AI to replace crew. No AI writing in scripts. No AI to replace VFX artists. AI tools only and only tools that facilitate jobs, not replace them. Together we can do this.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness.

I feel like every time I rewatch Band of Brothers, there's another person I realized eventually became huge. Fassbender, Simon Pegg, McAvoy, Tom Hardy...but I remember watching it as it aired and thinking "Is...is that the guy from SNL?" And to this day I still don't know how Fallon made it in.

A picture of Wonder Woman smiling brightly, waiving with a quote from Wonder Woman #25, 2006 by Gail Simone. "Don't kill if you can wound, don't wound if you can subdue, don't subdue if you can pacify, and don't raise your hand at all until you've extended first."

My favorite Wonder Woman quote from Wonder Woman #25 by @gailsimone.bsky.social.
"Don't kill if you can wound, don't wound if you can subdue, don't subdue if you can pacify, and don't raise your hand at all until you've extended first."
Such a perfect ethos for my favorite superhero.

Bigger question: why would ANYONE draw that on the board knowing what a disaster the shark is for their town? Is there a deleted scene I don't know about showing Quint's art skills?

If it's Quint, that just makes him even more unhinged. If it's not...WOW, Amity, WOW.

Film History nerd here - giving you a standing ovation for that burn. Bravo!

@edgarwright.bsky.social Let's do this! SPLIT SCREEN OF BOTH WRITERS STRETCHING. BOTH DROP INTO THEIR SWIVEL CHAIRS. SNAP ZOOM ON THE WRITERS' COFFEE CUPS. SNAP ZOOM ON NEW POTS BEING BREWED. WHIP PAN TO COMPUTER SCREENS. DOLLY IN ON WRITERS TALKING TO SELF AS THEY TYPE. OFFBEAT ROCK TRACK PLAYS.

Been home from school for about a month. I've written nearly 40k words on my book since my friend and I started a gentleman's agreement to keep pace with each other. Today I saw F1 in the movies. Now I'm imagining a writers version of that plot.

Pretty much everything with Brett is. But that especially.

And that's the catch. To fully judge it would require watching the whole movie...which I don't know about you? I can wait on that lol

Can't speak to Bluey but Sesame Street is next level to the point where even my occasionally oh-too-cool teenage film students are quoting Sesame Street memes. That's brilliant writing strategy at work! Smurfs is the polar opposite from what I've seen.

Oh good, I'm not the only one that bothers. Not even a Smurfs fan, it just bothers me as a writer. Seems incredibly lazy and kinda demeaning to the audience. "We wanted to write this word, you know what we're saying, we're just using smurf to cover our 'edgy' language, anyone over Age 10." Meh.

Give me a Rod Serling day - not just Twilight Zone but his Golden Era of TV productions, interviews and appearances - and I am sold.

“Comics were the first ones to punch Nazis before movies. They are inherently political. One thing they want to do is erase the past, but that’s one thing that this museum celebrates.” Guillermo del Toro at San Diego Comi-con on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

Learning Tom Lehrer and Stephen Sondheim knew each other from childhood summer camp forces me to imagine a conversation in which they both said, “I’m going to be the best there ever was at the kind of songs I will write,” and they were both correct.

New reaction meme just dropped

I just said the same thing to Drew: it's NOT. THEIR. FILM.
This isn't like a student at the Louvre and doing their own take on a master work. This is going up to the Mona Lisa and deciding, you know what? That smile isn't big enough! Also? Let's add her house that's just off the canvas!

"It's a Masterpiece! All-time classic! We just...ya know...want to change it to fit our wants."

I get that tech advances and the medium can evolve. The problem isn't wind machines or more speakers or even cleaning up the resolution. This isn't even a Special Edition issue. This ISN'T THEIR FILM.

Hahahahaha clearly we’re in the same wavelength here. Too good to pass up, right??

@bitterscriptreader.bsky.social If you haven't seen it, Jason Palmer did a gorgeous print of all the Superman actors (and a few Lois Lane actresses). I have his Firefly and Star Wars OT prints here in my office. Highly recommend if you're able to find him! Want to pick up a copy for myself online!
