as the Epstein Class become more concerned about the outcome of the midterms, it’s probably a good idea to remind the Public Servants that “just following orders” is not a viable defence
Flagg's famous "Uncle Sam" poster image with the text : Following an illegal order makes you a traitor.

if i have to invent a number for a script – be it an address, a distance, a killer robot’s model number etc – i always make it a prime number for me, it makes the number look/feel more “real” 🙂

TUBI X BLACK LIST HORROR INITIATIVE anyone else enter this? the shortlist was to be announced in “mid August” – but i haven’t seen anything – no “sorry, but thanks” email so i looked on both sites and searched online … and found nothing is this how the Black List usually operates? #scriptsky

yeah, it’s the original, 4-movie Ellen Ripley saga for me – despite the varying quality, at least they were all set in coherent, materialist universe i even have a the premise for a fifth instalment: 120 years after the events in *Alien Resurrection*, Ellen Ripley learns she has a “twin sister”

before we start, let me follow Kelly’s advice and deliver the hook at the very top: imagine, some 120 years after the events in Alien Resurrection , Ellen Ripley learns she has a “twin sister” ...

THE LAST DISCOVERY sci-fi – the death of humanity, but with a feelgood ending THE ABBEY Oscar bait 🤪 sci-fi – hugely expensive, lots of nudity and violence, downer ending RAIN DOGS sci-fi – my first “real” script – got a known producer-director excited – i’ve been running on the fumes ever since

*Note to Self* is a fresh take on the possession thriller. Beginning as a psychological thriller with paranormal elements, the story experiences a dramatic reversal and becomes a gruelling survival drama. #thriller #survival #paranormal #psychologicalthriller #moviesky #filmsky #scriptsky

FEATURE SCRIPT AVAILABLE paranormal/survival thriller A reclusive artist must fight a desperate battle for survival after learning the spirit of an occultist has been hiding within her for three decades and now plans to takeover her body permanently. www.scriptrevolution.com/scripts/note...
two profiles of a woman’s face, staring at each other – the images are rendered in a black-and-white halftone dot pattern, which has then been coloured – the one on the left is an orange red – the one on the right is higher, appearing more dominant, and is a grey mauve with orange tinting around the eye – the two faces are on a dark red background

the text reads: “How do you escape from someone who’s been hiding inside you for decades?”

this followed by the logo, a red rectangle with the words, *Note to Self* in off-white text

someone once said that screenplays are rarely finished, just abandoned i get to the point where i feel i’m just tinkering at the edges – and that the script is “finished-enough” for the RIGHT reader / producer / director / executive to see what it is and decide if they’re interested

sure, this ‘twist’ was spoiled by the marketing for the movie – but as Cole says: imagine trying to sell a ghost story today where there’s no talk of ghosts for the first 54/58 pages!

just read in Cole Haddon’s 5AM StoryTalk (substack) that the first twist in *The Sixth Sense* – “I see dead people.” – occurs on page 54 of a 126-page script* *or, if you read the cleaned-up version and not the scanned script, page 58 of a 113-page #scriptsky #screenwriting #filmsky #moviesky

i don’t mind them … but then, that could be because i don’t realise i’m not very good at them? what i hate is all the other support collateral we’re expected to provide – like 1-pagers, pitch decks etc when i’ve ‘finished’ the script, i want to move on to the next – not revisit what i’ve done

yeah, i had the same experience with *Anatomy* – i feel like it’s all about how to assemble the various elements, and then, somehow, they just click together and create a cool narrative maybe it’s tools are better suited to fixing/improving a first draft? – although i haven’t tried

the article notes that a woman by the name of Margaret Floy Washburn had already studied the phenomena back in 1907 – in it, she detailed an almost identical experiment to the one re-invented in the last decade ...
