Reintroducing myself to BlueSky -

I’m Brent Simons. With Alan Schoolcraft, I’ve written MEGAMIND, THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR MOVIE. I’m also showrunner/executive producer of MEGAMIND VS. THE DOOM SYNDICATE & MEGAMIND RULES!

I like geek stuff, dogs, and martial arts. #animation #screenwriting

If nothing else it’s a really expensive commercial for that awesome Disney World ride.

Halloween Spooky Movie #8. It’s fun, silly, and the best of the monster team-ups.

Great line from The Gunslinger:

“When traitors are called heroes (or heroes traitors, he supposed in his frowning way), dark times must have fallen. Dark times, indeed.”

Think I’m gonna restart my readthrough of The Dark Tower today. Read the first 4 books like a decade ago but don’t remember enough to just jump into Wolves of the Calla. Excited to get on the path again and finally finish this series!

Same! I was banking to watch it for years. But then they happened.

Brent Simons @brentsimons.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, that would have been so much classier! Maybe even an upgrade?

I just watched a YouTube video about film criticism that mispronounced Roger Ebert’s name.

Hey guys, if you’re not too busy this weekend, maybe it might be a good time to go see a movie. Just a thought. I heard there is something good playing.

Mike Johnson — man of deep faith, we are told — wants pastors to be shot in the head with pepper balls.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

It’s clear to me we need a KRULL reboot now more than ever. Who’s with me? … Hello?

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.
