Caught SOULM8TE — the movie Universal couldn’t figure out how to release in the wake of MEGAN 2.0 flopping and… it’s worth fucking with! And comparing it to COMPANION is like saying 2001 and WarGames are the same movie because they both have AI. THIS is sex-bot OBSESSION.
You are NOT a beautiful and unique snowflake — and that’s why your first screenplay won’t get made. Here’s why that’s a good thing…
If I see one more illiterate Gen Z’er suggest Sadie Sink was responsible for the thing at the end of SPIDER-MAN that was CLEARLY muscle memory, it’s gonna be my thirteenth reason.
A shame Sadie Sink’s character in SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY was the worst kept secret in Hollywood, because the audience is far too ahead of the movie for far too long. It even holds for crowd cheering at the reveal… that was met with silence. It works better if you don’t know.
I don’t think there’s enough SPIDER-MAN screenings tomorrow.
SUPERGIRL is on VOD after only 33 days, which has left a lot of people asking:
Whatever anyone says about BRAND NEW DAY tonight, it’ll never top Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN 2 — the greatest superhero movie of all time.
Me when I see people trying to pirate a Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY on Twitter.
If you send me screenplay notes now, I’ll just send you this.
Elon Musk and the rest of the conservative chuds watching Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY land at #1 two weekends in a row.
The Mask. Dream Warriors. The Blob. Chuck Russell was an iconic filmmaker. And, for me, he directed the first R-rated movie I ever watched in a theater, ERASER. Just saw him at the Masters of Horror dinner. Never thought it'd be the last time. Thanks for everything, Chuck.
The right-wing culture warriors took down SUPERGIRL. But they could NOT stop Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY. @clpfilm.bsky.social and I dig into WHY and HOW movies can combat partisan influencers moving forward on the latest HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER. Link to the pod below.
Made a joke about Gen Z being afraid of Sex Scenes. It went viral over the weekend. It just went viral again. So… is Gen Z right about Sex Scenes being unnecessary? I wrote about it. And you can read it. Link in comments. Let’s talk about sex, baby.
Filmmaking is so powerful, Christopher Nolan broke the richest man in the world.
It's so over for Millennial Filmmakers... or is it? I wrote about how Gen Z are alledgedly stealing our jobs! Link below.
It’s so incredibly satisfying watching the richest man in the world get something so incredibly wrong.
Christopher Nolan reads Save the Cat once and takes it to the extreme.
Kane Parsons having the juice post BACKROOMS to make the heads of Warner Bros. almost meet at his Mom’s house is the stuff that Hollywood legends are made of.
Listen to me yackity-yack about screenwriting, directing and how to sell specs on the Viva Film podcast! Link in comments!!
It’s easier to get drafted to play Major League Baseball than it is to gain admission into the Writers Guild of America. That’s why ANY professional work as a screenwriter is an incredible achievement, no matter the end result.
