I was asked if I celebrate the Fourth of July My father, the former Navy seal, fought for the right for me to say "nah I'm good this year" Maybe next year.

In my life, I've had more people not appreciate me and what I do until I'm gone. But then when I don't wanna come back, I'm the bad guy.

For those not understanding how Austria got the extra minute between more stoppage within the stoppage and they were transitioning into a counter. The referees discretion is to see the result of both.

Incredible match. Both teams deserve to go through and will .. fantastic match

Also randomly someone without knowing receiving my children, said two sentence in today… There's no way you're not a girl dad. I'm not gonna lie that might be the coolest thing anyone's ever said to me🤣😂

What's the weirdest thing about me? I don't like people. With very few exceptions. I genuinely don't like people. However, PLOT TWIST, I am very good with people.... like I work well with others. I could not be more confused by that if I tried.

I just don't argue with people. I know think they're equal based on AI. Available information in summarization of that does not make us. If you don't do work, I'm not worried. I'll just say I agree to disagree move on.

I legitimately had to explain in great detail to a class of screenwriting students without being discouraging, if you're doing this to get rich, drive down to Primm California, and buy a lotto ticket. Same odds. If you're doing it to become famous, drop this course immediately

It feels like there’s a genuinely great Death to Smoochy-meets-Shutter Island story buried somewhere inside the psychology of children’s entertainment.

I have two screenplays (one mine, one studio) that need to be finished before the end of summer, so I absolutely do not need another project. But this one won’t leave me alone.

KL Martin @codenameleon.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

And that’s when the idea hit me. Not a horror movie about The Wiggles. Not a parody. Something adjacent.

KL Martin @codenameleon.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Then the filmmaker in me started noticing the visuals. Dutch angles. Strange close-ups. Rack focuses. Odd framing. Shots that, completely removed from their intended context, feel bizarrely unsettling. A few made me think less of a children’s show and more of a Truman Show-style nightmare

The original Yellow Wiggle performed through debilitating chronic pain. Miss Rachel deals with millions of eyes on her every day. Both are doing something genuinely noble, but I can’t stop wondering about the psychological toll of spending your life permanently “on.”

What fascinates me is the commitment. At one point these people were touring the world, doing multiple shows a day, six days a week, singing, dancing, smiling, and being endlessly positive for children. That’s not a character you play for an hour. That’s a second identity you carry with you for yrs

I’ve watched the old analog-era stuff, the modern videos, the cast changes, and the evolution from a tightly controlled brand where everyone was essentially their color to a version where the performers are allowed to be more human. I’ve probably watched everything they’ve uploaded over the last yr

Having two kids 15 months and 29 days apart has accidentally turned me into a student of children’s television. My oldest loves Bluey and The Wiggles. Bluey is one of the best shows on television, period. But The Wiggles have become a weird creative obsession.

I think the worst part was it all started because he had to comment on something he didn't have to and then my comeback since he's had such issues getting work is that he should probably embrace AI because it'll make him a better writer. He started it. I finished it 😂😂😂

3/ So if the account comes back, fine. If it doesn’t, that’s fine too. Watching grown adults melt down, organize reports, and act like criticism is harassment was entertaining for a while, but I probably should’ve left that cesspool a long time ago.

2/ I was already barely using Twitter. At this point it was mostly WWE, the World Cup, and occasionally talking film. The platform stopped being enjoyable a long time ago and became a place where people spend more time looking for fights than having conversations.

1/ One of the funniest parts of this whole saga is that it apparently ended with a boomer screenwriter TIM DAY,getting upset enough to report me. All because I pushed back after one of his friends decided it was a good idea to comment under a photo of my child.

I converted to Judaism 20 years ago. I get why Israel’s leveling Gaza—Hamas hides among civilians. I don’t like it, but I understand the logic. But don’t tell me you can strike Iran with precision and avoid civilians, yet not in Gaza. That’s not ending a war—it’s ending a people.

Wes Anderson has fallen too far into the stylistic aspects of what what he does. The best way I could describe it is Wes Anderson is an analog photographer , writing Instagram captions in screenwriting form. and I LOVE WES ANDERSON. But he has lost his grip on how humans interact #scriptsky

Took me 42 years, but I’ve cultivated a healthy fear around approaching me wrong or unprepared. People don’t bring chaos or half-baked plans or ideas anymore. I genuinely love that. I genuinely hope I could translate that to my children lol

KL Martin @codenameleon.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Definitely does. With all the screenwriting platforms, crashing or being closed even if they come back as something else it just feels like you’re wasting money. I don’t knock it obviously, but it just feels like you’re better off failing/succeeding at your own hands.

KL Martin @codenameleon.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

I plan on making this myself. We already have at least a small part of investment about 10% of what I’m thinking. So I wouldn’t even bother with blacklist unless I’m selling. And even then, I’ll probably have a better chance of chasing down investors and making it myself 😂😂😂

KL Martin @codenameleon.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Hell no. lol I’m the nephew of script consultant. It took me three drafts to get to the 7.5 and only one to get 8.3. The second email I bought but not from blacklist though

Telling screenwriters it’s fine to “just write” feels wildly irresponsible right now. If you want your project made—short or feature—you have way better odds learning to produce or direct. Script comps aren’t the path anymore. That era’s over. #scriptsky

A well known producer sent me an AI generated script today. He passed it off as his own saying it was his “first attempt” and “he was nervous for my feedback”… It was AI and he was trying to pay me to rewrite it to make it his own klmartin2.substack.com/p/screenwrit... #scriptsky

KL Martin @codenameleon.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

For those who asked on the side: “how did you know it was an AI generated script?“ Simple. Aside from the obvious signs. If you don’t proofread it before you send it off you don’t delete the question that the AI will ask at the end. In this case, “would you like scene numbers added to this”😂

000

KL Martin @codenameleon.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Producers with no skill at excited for AI because now the skill they don’t want learn but make money off of is easily accessible. I have no problem with AI. It has its uses but I was just emailed an AI generated script to “rewrite” for my normal fee who passed it off as his own. Smh #scriptsky
