I write Horror, Scifi, and any other genre that compels me.

Gonna reference one of my posts from last week...
"I'm kinda pissed that Shia LeBeouf got to work with Spielberg and I didn't"
"I'm kinda pissed that Shia LeBeouf got to work with Spielberg and I didn't"
Apparently he shouted out ‘You tell 'em I'm coming, and hell's coming with me!’
Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans after an alleged fight during Mardi Gras

Sigh.
Just had to chew out my father in law.
His wife fell and hurt her hip. They waited a week (didn't tell us) until the pain got so bad she couldn't function.
Finally he calls an ambulance to take her to the hospital... and then just hangs out at home.
I'm fucking livid right now.

Just finished #TheRip, with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
Excellent crime drama! Writer/Director #JoeCarnahan, as usual, delivers the goods
Damon and Affleck are solid... especially Affleck. He embraced the role and gave 100%
Two thumbs up, cuz that's all I possess!

A cool exercise I learned in a writing class decades ago: list the #FirstTenVerbs in your WIP-- see if they feel active and interesting.
1. drones
2. hypes
3. hums
4. sleep
5. glares
6. searches
7. glances
8. fidgets
9. grimaces
10. calls

I'm not a list/rank person, but having now caught most of the movies from this past year, the two that resonated the most are It Was Just an Accident and Sinners. Tho I haven't seen the new Raimi yet, and that looks like a ton of fun.

Last time I was queueing up for the TSA line at LAX, I passed a monitor showing Kristi "FuckFace" Noem talking about what her Gestapo forces are doing to keep 'Murica safe
Without thinking, I flipped off the monitor and said, "Fuck You, Kristi Noem"
I didn't get strip searched or nuthin!

Let's post 1st pages from scripts we've never shared before
Last night it was LAVABATS!
Tonight it's my unsanctioned adaptation of the book "AGE OF HEROES", by James Lovegrove
I loved, Loved, LOVED the book, so I took a stab at writing the pilot for a half hour series for fun.

Back in 2014, I was attached to write a creature feature called:
LAVA BATS
Yes, you read that right
No, it wasn't MY concept
I left the project when things weren't working out with the Producer. Yup, it's still on IMDB
Here's Page 1, fwiw
Enjoy!

Can we all agree that if we are at a polling place and see ICE, DHS, Nazi fucks, Proud Boys, or anyone trying to intimidate voters, that we will all transform into this kid and do what needs doing?

Multiple people in the DOJ have access to the unredacted Epstein files
If they released them, yes, they'd be fired. Probably jailed
But they'd be hailed as a HERO, would likely get top flight legal representation for free, and a ZILLION dollars via GoFundMe
I'd donate $1000
Would you?
