So there’s a bluesky screenplay community thing going around about pitching your WIP with two movie posters. I’m not really doing that, but I do want to give a preview of something I’ve been working on & off for over a year now, and it’s *so* close to being done.
Horror movie host Svengoolie, a white man wearing a dark jacket with a red shirt underneath, and a black top hat. He has dark circles painted around his eyes, as well as a mustache and skinny beard that dips down. He’s holding a rubber chicken by the throat. He has a serious if bug-eyed look on his face, which is funny because he’s not a very serious guy. The title screen for the 1973 made for TV horror movie “The Horror at 37,000 Feet”. The title is in yellow and behind it is a shot of outside of an airport but it’s difficult to make anything out, it’s too dark.

Dream Warriors: D&D-Inspired Hip Hop plus Brute Fort game & soundtrack and "Sunshine Blogger" Q&A @alfredvalley.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/critical...
A picture of a page from Sounds magazine with a feature about Dream Warriors. The two members of the Canadian hip hop group appear in an accompanying photo. One holds a bamboo staff. The headline reads "who dares wins". A picture of the Brute Fort card game. It is packaged as a double tape cassette case with a tuck box of cards on one side and a tape cassette soundtrack on the other side. The artwork depicts a ruined castle against a red sky with yellow skulls piled in front.

Biggest question for me is not who wins, but can this match beat the match with the most total votes (351, DOOLITTLE vs. DISINTEGRATION). Currently standing at 261 votes, with a little more than 20 hours left in play.

I got back into meatspace art when I saw AI “art” on the rise and felt revulsion. I am not a pro. I don’t plan to be. But creating is good for the mind and soul. Drawing may not be your thing but there are hundreds of skills that have the same benefits.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

Dreamed that they were making a live action King of the Hill movie with Jesse Plemons as a grown up Bobby Hill. The entire dream was just Jesse Plemons dancing with Ladybird. I have been haunted by this all day.

TOMORROW! Witness the battle of champions as #3 seed, De La Soul, 3 FEET HIGH AND RISING takes on #1 seed, Pixies, DOOLITTLE to determine once and for all The Best Album of 1989! Vote here when the match begins at 11am CST!
On a brown background is a monotone photo of a small monkey. The monkey has a halo and is surrounded by three numbers: 5,6 and 7. The picture of the monkey has a green outline of a box around it, and within that box are green lines that make a bunch of connected shapes: squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, stars, trapezoids. etc. Black and white photos of three young Black men, arranged in a circle as if you are on the ground and they are looking down at you from above. The background is very bright yellow. There are hand drawn flower shapes in blue and orange arranged around them.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Literally every law or invention that exists to prevent people from being accidentally or intentionally killed by the natural or built environment is going to be on the chopping block for these people, because they are a death cult who worship the idea of death and want to kill you
