The screenwriter, not the Raelette. THE ZOOKEEPER'S WIFE for Caro, LANGE for Fincher, MAYA LORD for Emmerich, HELLO NANCY for Colbert.

Hahaha. (Also, every single one of my screenplays sent to my reps.) 🤪

Evergreen.

#filmsky #scriptsky See below, Daniel Bessner's incredible deep dive on the state of our industry. The best article I've read about our collective demise, particularly screenwriters. Think you're alone in your struggle? Not by a long shot! harpers.org/archive/2024...

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Decision Desk has called WI for Susan Crawford! Suck it, Elon, you toad!

Their upcoming development slate lists sequels to, uhhh ... Practical Magic and Goonies. This is a Zaslav problem, not an Abdy/De Luca problem, who are very good at what they otherwise do (did).

I cannot bang the drum loudly enough for #Adolescence on Netflix. The pacing, the tension, the performances. The long long takes. The silences. Two-handers like a play. That astonishing kid. Absolutely riveting. #filmsky

#Adolescence is so good and so stressful. Stephen Graham is fantastic. Brilliantly written by Graham and Jack Thorne. The way you're *inside* it without ever knowing what's going to happen. The tempo, the long shots. Kindness and fear, always entwined, unrelenting. Brilliant series. On Netflix.

The actress Lilet Lesser, who plays Princess Mary in the third installment of the Wolf Hall series, is stunning. #WolfHall #TheMirrorAndTheLight #filmsky #tvsky

Oh my god is she running? #AOC 2028!!

It can be a strange experience, to see one of your projects show up in the trades, new writer after new writer, announcement after announcement. But if you parse carefully, you might see a desperate producer losing their mind. And it can be obvious to people in the business. #scriptsky #filmsky

The wonderful @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social has finally given us the inside lowdown on all those relentlessly upbeat book review "blurbs" that seem to overwhelm new releases. Also, there was a Belinda Blurb! In today's NYT Book Review essay. (The Great Believers is a beautiful book, that's my blurb.)

Goodbye to an old friend. Brilliant, complicated, hugely loveable, playwright of the woes of South Africa, his own included. "Master Harold and the Boys" was about his confused childhood during apartheid. RIP dear Athol.

PSA for anyone with a 401k and mutual funds: you can ask your Administrator to exchange any funds that hold Tesla stock for other funds. If you're the sole employer (S Corp etc) you can do it yourself! Satisfying! ✌

Some of us tried to bring attention to this and were ignored.

So the Dems way of fighting back tonight is to color co-ordinate? Are you kidding me? Oh we are lost. Lost. Just going to watch animal videos for the rest of my life.

😓

This is a beautiful speech. Adrien Brody was obviously so moved, he was generous and thoughtful, he was just taking his time. Maybe people were weary by then but I loved it. #TheBrutalist #filmsky #scriptsky deadline.com/2025/03/adri...

Peter Straughan adapted, among other things (including #Conclave) the entire H Mantel Wolf Hall trilogy. Impossible feat of craft and skill. I've said it here before but RESPECT! (And an Oscar!) #scriptsky #filmsky

Angie Stone has tragically died. Here she is singing "No More Rain.' RIP. How sad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgG0...

This is horrible. The mighty Gene Hackman is gone, with his wife and dog. I hope it was a peaceful passing.

So how many Trumps is that then? 🤔

Need a little inspiration? Jane Fonda's barnburner of a SAG Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech is on Netflix. Go to the SAG Awards and jump to about 1:05:00.

Hell of a speech. She could teach our Dem leadership a thing or two.

@sarahtreem.bsky.social has a thing! With Olivia Colman! Swoon. deadline.com/2025/02/oliv...

Feels like Kendall Roy has taken over his account. #filmsky #tvsky #succession

Anyone else on #filmsky #scriptsky notice that IMDb seems to punish you (a paid customer) for using their site, and your own name, too often? Their algorithm is weird.
