I came to Bluesky to avoid politics, Trump, Musk, Republicans, right wing propaganda, porn bots and misinformation.

If I see those kind of posts, I will be muting you for the sake of my mental health.
My 20yr old daughter watched the Bill & Frank episode of Last of Us last night.

She was heartbroken.

I asked her today if she was over it now...

Clearly not.

Blue Eye Samurai is phenomenal.

Great characters and story, heartfelt, funny, gory as hell.

Watch it. Thank me later.

I recently read this and I'm still disturbed by it.

If you want to know what really happened in the Colosseum (spoiler alert: It ain't what you see in Gladiator) give it a read.

Be warned. It's utterly, utterly horrifying.

Say your dialogue out loud before you write it.

Every word, every emotion. BE that character. Feel their anger, sadness, excitement, whatever it might be and write that down.

Bad dialogue is writing shit from your head without seeing if it actually sounds like... People.

Following nothing but screenwriters can be a bit samey.

I want to follow some dude in Hawaii who weaves baskets or some shit.

Can we stop normalising people taking photos of the movies they’re watching in a theatre.

If you take your phone out FOR ANY REASON in a cinema, you are a twat.

What's the best film you've seen this week?

I'm a professional screenwriter (allegedly... I have an agent and get paid for stuff) from the UK.

#screenwriting
Since we're doing reintroductions:

I'm a writer/filmmaker based in the PNW telling stories - both high-concept genre and grounded drama - abt broken, isolated people who find redemption by facing their demons head-on (either figuratively or literally).

I also run The Grey List.

Someone drove towards me with LED headlights a few nights ago and when I looked in my rear-view mirror, there was an x-ray of me on the backseat.

I've been on Bluesky 10 minutes and nobody's called me snowflake, woke or Libtard.

Feels weird. I'm not used to this.
