Reintroduction now that we're all determined to move here: I'm a playwright & theatre critic. I'd love to find more theatre nerds here!

Big fan of Twin Peaks, Star Trek and film/TV in general.

Recently holidayed in Canada with a side quest to Bangor, reigniting my love of Stephen King.

Yeah, totally. There is a slump in Aussies visiting the US but I'm still seeing too many people on my IG feed going there. I visited briefly last year before the election and that still felt fraught. But if they are checking socials, I'm never getting in now.

I miss when movie posters were also art.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

It's so disingenuous and so irresponsible. Things are supposed to be regulated to protect the vulnerable, not foisted upon everyone because "most of you are going to be okay".

The illustrator and I have worked hard to drop in very obscure references throughout the book. It's going to be lots of fun!

Yes! I discovered this a few years ago. A revelation.

John Oliver is what liberals imagine Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert to be — a genuine critic of America’s systemic failures who stands up for trans people and other marginalized groups, while actually offering real actions and hopeful solutions.

This is absolutely true. There are so many books now that publishers can't support writers as much as they used to in release and publicity, etc.

All the BW apologists at mainstream outlets should feel extra embarrassed about their advocacy for her, and her elevation to the top of CBS News, after this. It's incredibly worth a half-hour of your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Films swung away from having their villains give long speeches about their plans for good reason, but now I want the speeches to come back but instead of an articulate explanation, it's word salad. Just pure nonsense.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been
