Anybody else feel like every script now has to be written with TikTok in mind? One creepy 15 second clip will do more to sell your idea than any carefully-crafted monologue or plot-twist ending. #scriptsky #weapons

Both Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino were only 29 years old when they were either starting or finishing the writing of their first Oscar-nominated screenplay. #scriptsky

Wow, this actually lived up to the hype. #filmsky

Well Eddington was interesting. It does a good job showing how the internet amplifies division and distracts people from the truth. At least I think that's what it was about... it's message was about as clear as mud. #filmsky

What are some under-the-radar books you think deserve a film adaptation? #scriptsky #filmsky

Damn it, why did I watch this movie? Weekend ruined. #filmsky

"Yeah, if you could just break down your passion project into marketable segments, that would be great." #scriptsky #pitchdeck

Reading Childhood’s End, it’s interesting how much more faith people once had in technology and automation to fix the world’s problems.

What went wrong? #aisky

Just wrapped up my Oliver Stone run. A pretty underrated set of films made within a five-year stretch. But they also show how constantly highlighting the worst in our institutions doesn’t always inspire change, sometimes it just makes the viewer numb and normalizes the problems. #scriptsky #filmsky

I will admit that one of AI’s biggest boosts to film will be post. You’ll be able to shoot something simple and add lighting, VFX, even monsters after. Basically free editing and effects, huge for low-budget films. #ai #film

Kurosawa’s Cure constantly uses wide, distant shots to create a sense of isolation and dread. But if you gave that script to an AI, why would it choose that style? Without emotional context, it’d probably just go with standard shot/reverse-shot and completely miss the point. #filmsky #scriptsky

People severely underrate how much of life is driven by subjective input. How would a video generator know when to go with a vibrant, stylized look like Mad Max or the muted realism of The Revenant? Five minutes into either film, you know why it looks the way it does. But would an AI? #filmsky

Me trying to watch the billionth AI-generated horror flick, rom-com movie, or disaster film #scriptsky

The more films I watch, the harder it is to believe AI will ever generate a truly good one on its own. There’s just too much subjective input involved. #scriptsky

What are your favorite examples of movies carried by a director?

Despite both being written by Paul Schrader and centered on traumatized Vietnam vets, Taxi Driver feels like a masterpiece while Rolling Thunder feels flat. #scriptsky

Can anyone explain why modern movies look so flat and sterile, when older films used to have so much visual mood and personality? #scriptsky

Late upload, but pretty decent weather for December
