A heinous YT video of #AI #StarTrek disco caught my eye. I won't link it. I know it's not a new phenom, but #animation was hyper-realistic in places. This account and others like it are making $ from parasitic buffoonery using the faces and work of others. Imagine it's your face or work here. 😠

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love...
A brilliant debut, a super sexy neo-noir about two lesbians conspiring to steal millions from the mob. A chamber piece that feels much bigger. Great cast. Every scene crackles. Fav line: "It's fuckin' dark in here."

Hit up #RunyonCanyon today for a quick hike with the family--always fun. I was people-watching so much I barely snapped any pics. 😀

Interesting that there are 2 new TV shows with novelists as the protagonists: #PLURIBUS on AppleTV and #THEBEASTINME on Netflix. Both heroines are unhappy, cranky, angry, for different reasons. Hey, #writers are people, too. 😀

Few pics from our Burbank neighborhood--always enchanting and wildly fun at Halloween. So much artistry and craftsmanship in costumes, yards and cars, too. Coolest costume I saw: La Muerte from "The Book of Life."

#BacktotheFuture is one of my favorite films and coincidentally I'm at this BK all the time for its counter-height tables, which I prefer when I'm doing a writing sprint. I didn't realize this was in BTTF until we rewatched the movie earlier this year. 😀

The day #RobertRedford passed I ordered this #THEWAYWEWERE poster for my wife, who adored him. I hung it with THE YAKUZA, itself a gift from her some years ago. We wound up gifting each other Sydney Pollack posters. Now...if we get THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR we'll have a '70s Pollack trifecta. 😀🎥🍿

Enjoying the new @heavymetalofficial.bsky.social. Eager for issue #3. They sell out so fast I've had the book put on file for me at the local comic shop. And... here's hoping this relaunch leads to an HM anthology series in the near-future, because that would be...awesome. #scifi #heavymetal

And you have to remember that 30 years ago seeing Billy Budd and General Zod as a transgender woman was revolutionary and could've been career-ending. I'm so glad this film exists. 🧵 3/3

This is a wonderful based-on-true life story about two drag queens and a transgender woman (Stamp) as they tour the Australian outback. It introduced me to Hugo Weaving and Guy Pierce, as well. It's a film about finding common ground no matter where you find yourself. 🧵 2/3

Intended to do my afternoon writing session at the library, but it’s so beautiful in #Burbank today I wound up at McCambridge Park, sitting under a tree as I pondered weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore…

Magic hour: Last night, I hit up Vasquez Rocks for an impromptu sunset hike. Figured I'd have the park to myself, and I was right. I saw just one other person, far away. I walked for an hour, then sat down on a rock to watch the last light fade away...
