I write about movies. Sometimes I talk about them. Usually just write. Award-winning screenwriter for what it's worth. Film instructor at the University of Colorado, Denver, but ridiculous social media presence definitely my own. http://walterchaw.com

It's been reported that Grace Chang, Hong Kong's preeminent Mandarin screen diva of the 50s, passed away this afternoon, one day shy of her 93rd birthday. Watch Mambo Girl and The Wild, Wild Rose to see her at the height of her powers.

I just subscribed to this block list, and I really appreciate the public service provided here

Tess is Surviving the Horrors

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

I've seen a lot of fellow writers post stories about getting shafted. Most don't name the outlet, and I don't blame them one bit. Times are terrible. You could still wind up needing a gig from the place. So I deeply admire Jason for having the guts to name Vulture and give the details.

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:

This happened to me with Vulture last year. I was hired to cover a day-long TV event (on a Sunday, no less) here in Nashville. I spent 8 hours at the event, then went home and wrote a 1500-word piece overnight because they wanted to post it the next day. Then the editor kept putting me off. (cont.)

Sure, Jared Leto is a creep with multiple allegations to his name over the course of two decades, but you have to understand that he's also a mediocre actor who's a nightmare to work with and whose movies are critical flops that don't make money.

Emotions are high in some circles after the release of Apple TV's #Neuromancer trailer. I wrote about why that might be, and what it means to learn how to love something important to you without getting trapped in nostalgia: www.patreon.com/violetblue/p...
