Happy Birthday to Bela Lugosi, who in his younger days looked like the kind of twink who would always have something devastating to say about the latest opera

Shiny doesn’t equal meaningful. Give the jewels a history and the scene writes itself. What prop earned value for you once its story came out?

There are more. Sadly untranslatable.

Small new experiences activate the brain’s reward and attention systems, lifting your mood and keeping your mind flexible. Even brief breaks from routine can refresh focus and inspire new ideas. #WriterCommunity

I don't feel right reviewing it, given my relationships with Scott Derrickson and @crobertcargill.bsky.social, but I just watched BLACK PHONE 2 & it's fucking beautiful. Uncompromising in its violence and gore, yes, and steeped in dream-logic and a genuine melancholic nostalgia that feels physical.

A new Alien film with Sigourney Weaver doesn’t have to be a step back. When nostalgia becomes creative depth and Ripley embodies new conflicts, the story can evolve instead of repeat. #Alien #SigourneyWeaver

Using both Super 8 and 16 mm for the dream material gives it that tactile, almost subconscious realism people respond to. Was that what you aimed for visually?

I still remember our old number but not where I put my charger yesterday. Guess our priorities have shifted.

Alan Cernobite @alancerny.bsky.social · 7d

I still remember the phone number of the house I grew up in, and my family hasn't lived there for nearly 40 years.

Does anyone use their brains anymore?
