Oh. Forgot to mention that I saw Brand New Day today. I liked the actual Spider-Man stuff, but the rest of the movie just felt like a lead in to incorporate the X-Men into the MCU, and just completely tanked the plot. There was the potential for a great movie buried in there.

Man, I really wish I was a faster typist. My master list of script ideas is probably bigger than I could finish in my lifetime. Biggest problem is balancing the stuff that's the most fun to write vs the stuff that's actually marketable.

Fucking hell, I hate that nobody hires their own delivery drivers anymore and outsources their shit to Doordash. It just adds another level of bureaucracy when your kid wants Pizza Hut after their dance recital, and the delivery driver tries to give us this:

DIRTY MOTHERFUCKERS! JUST FUCKING STOP MAKING SHOWS IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO SEE THEM THROUGH! Christ, I hate every goddamn streaming service.

Lemme preface this by saying that I've been with Xbox since the original launched in 2001 (I actually won it at a retail event). I've never played through Halo. Tried it, but never got far. Anyone else think it's really just boring as hell?

I kinda wanna see The Odyssey in that 4DX format, but I'm not sure I wanna drive all the way out to Kendall to see it.

For aspiring screenwriters, be really careful about submitting your scripts for paid critiques unless you have a specific expectation for what you want out of it. They're mostly a grift. Anonymous critiques with a scoring scale are completely useless and are often counterproductive.

Holy shit, it's basically EXACTLY like the movie. INCLUDING the same anomalies. Having just watched the film, i literally just breezed through the game and had to go back to 0 just a single time. There's a few differences. The walking man is caucasian, and there's no lockers or photobooth.

Liminal double feature tonight. Saw Backrooms and Exit 8. Movies based on a web series I'd somehow never heard of, and a video game I'd also never heard of. I kinda hesitate to really call either of them horror. They're unsettling, but they're not really scary. But I did like both films!

Watched the new Faces of Death on Shudder. Kind of a decent premise, but the script and general execution leave something to be desired. It's not bad, though it is a little hokey and amateurish. Worth a watch if you've seen everything else, but it's not a must-see.

I can't wait until my kid is old enough to order a regular portion of food from restaurants. I look forward to being able to order something other than sweet and sour chicken with sauce on the side and shrimp fried rice again.

I'm a natural mimic too, but I've just kinda leaned into it. My normal speaking accent is pretty non-regional, but I'm from the South and I live in Miami, and my wife thinks it's hilarious how my accent bounces around when my Texabama mom comes down to visit.

Can always tell when my local Wendy's has hired a new crew. The dead giveaway is when I lift the bun on my burger and it looks like it spent time on the set of a bukkake film. No mayo apparently means that I actually want more mayo than burger.

Is it okay to mess your reader by bombarding them with a huge expository dump, then doing a rug pull by revealing that the entire thing they just read was almost entirely bullshit? Would it matter how it was written? Say it was in an Azimov novel. 20 pages of irrelevance. What about Douglas Adams?

I think it's weird that these Marvel team-up movies are saddled with the Avengers title. The comics went with Marvel Super Heroes for the big team-ups, so why not the MCU?

I think it's weird that these Marvel team-up movies are saddled with the Avengers title. Why not do what Traveller's Tales did with the Lego games and just use Marvel Super Heroes or something similar?

Made split pea soup and French bread tonight. Both came out delicious. Like dangerously "I'm about to eat an entire loaf of bread" delicious. Of course, my kid was freaking out about the soup because it was green. I reminded her about Sam I Am, and she ate the whole bowl.

HOW DID I GO THIS LONG WITHOUT ANYONE TELLING ME THERE WAS AN EVIL DEAD EPISODE OF CREEPSHOW WITH TED FUCKING RAIMI????

Saw Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die today and enjoyed it. Recommend.

Watching Project Hail Mary, and it's really an enjoyable film. I can't really articulate another way to describe it.
