As his most commercial film, 2004’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, is re-released, the critically acclaimed director says he can’t get a movie off the ground now – but will never give in to th...

Eliezer Yudkowsky, one of the most fascinating people in A.I., is the author of a new book on why artificial intelligence will kill us all. On "Hard Fork," he made the case for why A.I. development should be shut down now, long before we reach superintelligence. nyti.ms/46kniYD

Finally broke down and joined Insta. Don’t blame me, blame @kitsheehan.bsky.social. She did the breaking.

Had a blast tonight with @kitsheehan.bsky.social at the LA premiere of AMERICAN WARRIOR (starring Danny Trejo)!

Snagged a pic of my “Story Consultant” credit but it’s blurry. Feels like that Simpsons where no one believed Bart worked for Krusty.

Congrats to Naveen A Chathapuram and Vish Ayyar!

@kitsheehan.bsky.social and I got to see an early screening of @stephenking.bsky.social’s THE LONG WALK with screenwriter JT Mollner (thanks to @fangoria.bsky.social) and one thing I can say about this movie is that it’s so visceral MY feet still hurt.

Can’t wait to see this! Not only is it starring one of my all time fav actors (seriously, the Seann William Scott renaissance needs to start like now), but it’s also being produced by the massively talented Naveen A. Chathapuram, who directed a little movie I wrote called THE LAST VICTIM!

Had quite a weekend with @kitsheehan.bsky.social between seeing @benstiller.redhour.com show up to give blue steel at the Hollywood Forever screening of Zoolander and checking out the last day of @midsummerscream.bsky.social to support our friends in the @horrorbuzz.bsky.social Screaming Room fest!

Event Horizon, Deep Rising, Last Action Hero, Walk Hard, The Nice Guys, The Thing 2011, Dredd, Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar, The Fall Guy, Dungeons and Dragons, Blade Runner 2049, The Rocketeer, Payback
A quick question for anybody who wants to answer, just because I'm trying to get my creative juices flowing...

What's your favorite movie or movies that was a box office flop? I'm not talking about like "Man of Steel made $700 million rather than $1 billion," I'm talking about movies that bombed.

Promo for screenings of PREDATOR from January 1988. Shown in 70mm in the West End!

Watching the Storm of the Century miniseries starring Tim Daly (fantastic, btw) and suddenly remembered The Shining miniseries starred Steven Weber and now I’m wondering if @stephenking.bsky.social is secretly a mega fan of the 90’s sitcom Wings?

You gotta find fun where you can lately and @kitsheehan.bsky.social and I found some at FX’s Alien Earth activation in Hollywood today! Maybe not as cool as the crashed ship thing we missed at SDCC, but they’re giving out some dope prizes!

It’s so cool to see Ralph Ineson (the big baddie of The Last Victim) as the gigantic baddie of Fantastic Four! Dude’s got an amazing voice for this kind of role.
Ralph Ineson tells us his reaction to first seeing himself as Galactus:

“I was doing ADR in a studio… I’m looking at the shot & it looks like the Death Star… I’m going ‘I’m not even in frame yet, how am I about to speak’ and then I go ‘oh my god that’s my shoulder!’”

Was looking at the back of my Pulp Fiction DVD and something felt off… then it hit me.

What’s up with Sam Jackson’s hair??

Where’d they get this photo? It’s like it’s from an alternate timeline.

I don’t think this Jules would have been as big of a hit. The wig was a good choice.

Got to add another human-sized-Oscar pic to my collection while accompanying my wonderfully talented partner (in filmmaking and life) @kitsheehan.bsky.social (one of the stars of the multi-award-winning short “RHUBARB”) at the Collaborative Filmmakers Challenge (CFC) at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre.

I’m a “Black List Recommended” Writer.

I wrote a feature starring Ron Perlman released by Neon.

I worked for NBCUniversal as a reader.

I was just turned down to be a reader at @theblcklst.bsky.social.

Even the jobs BETWEEN gigs are harder to get than the timeline of the Terminator films.

I just stumbled upon this neo-noir/black comedy LAKE GEORGE on Hulu and it was fantastic! @carriecoon.bsky.social and Shea Whigham give charmingly powerful performances. The script is good and the film is gorgeous.

Kind of felt like a mix of GLORIA and PTA’s HARD EIGHT, with a bit of MIDNIGHT RUN.
