Believe me, they're still about.

I've known a couple of actors getting dropped by their agencies as soon as they have kids.

Same. I've had coverage say a script is too expensive but also say it needs more set pieces. Or they'll praise the dialogue but also claim the dialogue is weak.

All subjective too. A script of mine got an 8 and that same draft also got three 6s.

Hey Stacey, would love to DM you about this (I may have a potential path forward).

Most 90s deep cut reference. Read it with a New Radicals song playing in my head.

Thank you. Appreciate you guys signal boosting the shoutout. I have been browsing your site. The closing down of coverfly is a real shame. So much easier to reach out to writers via their profiles on that platform.

@killershorts.bsky.social Hello! UK based producer/director with $13K to spend on a short. I'd be very interested in reading some 1 page horror shorts (either finalists or semi-finalists) from previous years, if the writers are happy to share their details/pass along their work.

My memory of Transformers 5 is them establishing Anthony Hopkins living in a coastal castle (a famous one in England). Then later when we return to his home, another establishing shot is of a completely different, now landlocked castle (again, another famous landmark).

I need this in my life.

The surgery bit with the docs playing golf and zooming in to give guidance never fails to entertain.

Okay.

It did $77m world wide opening weekend. And the studio gets roughly half of that.

I'm sorry, the new Wuthering Heights movie cost $80m?

Okay, but now I kinda want ScarJo playing Andrew.

Same with creatives. A few over there have tossed shade at this place for the lack of engagement they receive. They want the 60+ bots liking each tweet rather than the dozen or so genuine people doing the same here (I'm assuming they're genuine).

It absolutely does. Due South had an outstanding car chase during one of its early eps. I remember Baywatch driving an armoured money truck off a pier (I think it was on fire too). Sometimes driving a car through boxes beats 6 eps of an A-lister fighting a CG monster. I miss it.

It tickles me that The Sentinel's first season was also 10 eps.

It's on Sky here in the UK. What an incredible curio. Such confident world building (Ward nearly running down a unicorn, the blood rain, the gremlins). And there's some brilliant hard boiled noir dialogue too.

Channel 4 be like we need affordable dramas. Then announce a show starring Glenn Close.

I believe so, but anything brand new (like The Pitt, Lanterns or any other new show releasing) will be exclusive to HBO Max.

Now I'm curious as to what shows she actually does enjoy.

'He Needs to Be Stopped': Sources Say Cary Fukunaga 'Abused His Power' To Pursue Young Women on Set Multiple sources say 'No Time to Die' director Cary Fukunaga used his sets to openly pursue female cast and crew: "He needs to be stopped"

Not an easy read.

Having heard the stories about the writer and the director, I wouldn't expect them to have any self reflection.

Sometimes the show This Is Us would present you with a cold open, some new character you hadn't met before, and by the end of the ep you'd learnt how they were connected to the lives of the main cast.

Then again, this particular character would have been in the 19-21 range in 1974, so what do I know?

I guess I personally didn't know many women having kids when they were 19-21

Okay, now there's a time jump and this mid 20s looking 28 year old is now playing 34.

Oh and there's a post sex scene where the woman is wearing a scarf in bed. Is that a thing? is their a kinkier cut of this PG-13 film?

Casting 41 year old Rebecca Hall to be the mother of a 19/20 year old (but played by a 28 year old) is a wild move.

That's what I can't fully recall. I think AG was under contract with Sony and was installed in a holding pattern. I think the book says he basically stayed in his office and let the room do its thing, allowing GB to suggest that Pacey should kiss Joey.
