Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Cats flinging litter everywhere like they're drawing a circle of salt. It's working, I'm not going barefoot anywhere near there. #witchsky #catsky 180

Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Oh man, when you do a good book dirty stuffing it horizontally on top of all your other books... #booksky 85914

Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I think about how The New Yorker approached the subject of Pablo Escobar from the pov of window repairmen... a cartel bomb in Bogota meant a brisk day for glaziers. If I can give one piece of writing advice, it's tackle the big sideways with the small -- especially when the small says it all. 150
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Ten years in Oregon, and I'm still surprised by the dampness of the US mail. 140

Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 22/11/2025Just now: A classic, perfectly executed, marching band roll-step so I can smoothly walk without spilling my overfull coffee THIS is what throws out my knee?? 020
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 20/11/2025There's a company developing a contact lens that accesses a databases of faces and floats (for your eyes only) a person's name over their heads. Suddenly, I'm awesome at parties. 120

Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Jury selection today, the defense attorney asked me, "Screenwriter? Have I seen anything?" I listed some shows, and the defendant exclaimed, "Hannibal?! Goddamn, I love Hannibal!" The attorney hissed for him to be quiet, but I pointed to the guy,"Right on, thanks!" Booted! #scriptsky #fannibals 6312
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 20/10/2025Man, insomnia. Just read that Marlene Dietrich would eat a sardine-and-onion sandwich on rye as her cure. The smell would knock me dead, too 130
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 19/10/2025I'd love a biopic about why, after winning 12 Grammies, Stevie Wonder said yes in 1978 to writing a double-album soundtrack to a documentary about plants. 120

Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Somebody counted the number of wikipedia articles that have been written about the element mercury vs Freddie Mercury. And I'm afraid it tallies at mercury (5112) and Freddie Mercury (4256) #sad 020
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Can you think of any scenario that would lead to "model cheaper than CG" today?? -- and then let's make it happen #filmsky 141
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Fascinated with the concept of a house spider. Do you choose the spider or does the spider choose you? Do you leave the door open a little extra to draw in juicy insects? Will I hurt its feelings if I name it Shelob -- or will that go to its head? 131
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 07/09/2025A different take on nuclear proliferation from the pov of the physicists who built the things in the 50s. Very Frankenstein's Monster 040
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 31/08/2025When I first got on bluesky, I made a crack about how nice it'll be for zombies to discover a plastic spoons-worth of microplastics already in our brains... and a guy dm'd me to explain it's not a literal spoon. I still think about that guy. (And his brain.) 270
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Turned in a big outline, and I can't stop thinking about how I spelled whoa "woah" -- and now I'm convinced the whole project teeters on this one typo #scriptsky 360
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 28/08/2025The guy who invented the Pringles can had his ashes interred... in a Pringles can. But lame Orville Redenbacher was buried in a regular coffin rather than a microwave popcorn bag #facts 1141
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Is there a word for going room to room, looking for the black reflective surface of your missing cell phone? Because that's a daily activity for me 150
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Am I doing movies wrong? Should I be losing my mind over the reveal of the Annabelle popcorn bucket? 160
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Nothing is more edge-of-your-seat than cracking a barely opened pistachio with your nubby fingernails. #dontsplit 020
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Ishiguro is at his very best when he's writing science fiction. Artificial insight, disposability and the certainty of revelation. If Taika Waititi is still adapting, I trust the guy to make this into something truly special. 150

Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 04/08/2025I saw lucha libre in Mexico City! A mask was ripped off mid-fight and the crowd went bonnnnnkers. I swear people were gonna rush the ring. Then the offender stuffed the guy's mask down his pants, an insult beyond insults. I mean. I guess I'm a massive fan of luchadors now. 150
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Me: Want this? Daughter: Everything is Goonies with you. Me: Andy, you Goonie! Daughter: Is that from the movie? Would you be quiet?! 120
Andy Black @andyblack.bsky.social · 17/07/2025My first (probably only) Jonathan Kellerman novel, 18 of 41 in the series. Probably an unfair way to sample psychologist/detective Alex Delaware. Weirdly timid. More narrative flair around the characters' pie choices than the murders. LA noir has never been so, well, flavorless. #booksky 020
