Between Dexter: Resurrection and Murderbot I’ve come to realise something obvious - if you want to succeed, cast David Dastmalchian.

I really enjoyed it this! My thoughts: *You could devote entire shows to what went wrong with T3 and Salvation. They’re not interesting films but it is interesting that they missed the mark by so far. *Is Cameron the most successful sequel director ever? It’s actually nuts how good he is.

Rottnest ferry rescues divers ‘stranded’ by tour boat off WA coast
Two men were allegedly left behind during an organised diving tour, stranded for hours before help arrived.

Well it’s neck and neck here in WA (not for winning the election but for becoming the opposition).

My little girl is utterly obsessed with Halloween. She is currently loving The Nightmare Before Christmas (while rocking a pretty tiara).

Driving down the freeway and suddenly a tarp and two pallets came flying out the back of a trailer and flipped down the freeway final destination style. Cars were running into them and swerving off the road. Terrifying stuff. No one seemed hurt or anything but a very close call. Scary!

I don’t know when Notes started autofilling math equations for you but it needs to stop immediately. It’s absolutely useless and a gigantic hindrance to my productivity. The answers it spits out feel very AI-adjacent given how absurd they are.

Somehow arguing with some bloke on threads about diving related stuff and noticed that the way they write is this weird mesh of confidence and incoherence. Are people filtering everything through AI these days?

I’m enjoying Dexter: Original Sin except for Christian Slater really not working for me as Harry. Therefore, in my head cannon, I’ve decided Harry in the original series (James Remar) is an unreliable memory of Dexter’s. His dad as stoic and wise mentor as opposed to Slater’s anxiety-ridden mess.

I wonder what goes on in guys like Trump or Musk’s head. History says that they’ll wind up killing themselves in a bunker or hanging to death in front of a cheering crowd. Why do they think they’re so special that it won’t all end horribly for them and their families?

My brief trip to Sydney got my thinking about these fun jump rocks. If you’ve never been it’s a nice walk from Cowan station through some gorgeous bushland.

I guess I have a bit of a love of adventure films. I adore The Three Musketeers (2011), Prince of Persia (2010), and John Carter (2012). All three are not particularly well loved but I just love the genre and think they’re really fun.

They should make another Kelvin movie and introduce TNG through classic time travel shenanigans! Anyway, I’d cast these folks. I couldn’t quite figure Crusher and Geordi… Picard: Aaron Paul Riker: Max Theriot Data: Danny Pudi Worf: Aaron Pierre Troi: Emma Roberts

Someone I chat to on socials posted an article they had published and it’s almost certainly AI generated. It’s not impossible it just got annihilated by an editor or even some sort of AI editor after they sent it but either way it’s pretty disappointing. What are we even doing here 🤷‍♂️

Casting Jack Quaid as a voice actor in Star Trek Lower Decks pays off like crazy by having him appear in live action in Strange New Worlds. Such a great episode. Rewatching for the 3rd-ish time

Anyone know of any really compact 4k disc players? I’m trying to fit one around a wall mounted tv and it needs to be barely visible (my partner doesn’t share my love of physical media). Any ideas?

Vale. I’m not sure his stuff works for me these days but it was incredibly important in my formative years. Also, a relative of mine (not super close). Australian writer John Marsden, author of Tomorrow series, dies aged 74 - ABC News

I’m a big fan of James Gunn’s work and Creature Commandos once again proves how fantastic he is at finding the humanity in these weird and obscure characters. It’s not just quips and jokes - you actually understand and care about these freaks.

Everyone thinks Ellis, in Die Hard, is a bad guy but think about it. He doesn’t trust cops and he thinks capitalism and terrorism are basically the same thing. Where’s the lie?

Chatting with a guy at work who was saying how anyone right leaning is shunned by Hollywood. The topic of Schwarzenegger came up and he described him as ‘pretty left wing’ Yes, he’s pretty moderate, but he’s famously a Republican. He’s left of Trump, maybe even close to centre but come on.

It’s summer in the South. Humid and sultry. Every window in the house is open, but the breeze won’t come in for breakfast. Bacon sizzles. Eggs dance. You introduce mug to coffee, and leave the screen ...

Alright fellow divers. I’m stuck. How do I write an extended and fairly important scuba scene without resorting to the divers having comms (because no one dives with comms). I was thinking of using dive signals and subtitles but it feels like a stretch. Any ideas? Examples I could follow? Etc?

I’m officially beginning work on my first script in a very long time. A trio dive an off shore shipwreck. When one of them is injured they return to the boat only to find their boat is dead and their EPIRB is missing. With their situation becoming dire they must find a way to survive.

On Taylor Sheridan again, I have no real clue about the man himself but his shows (Lioness and Landman) feel almost Verhoeven-esque. It’s like they lean so far right it’s to the point of parody.

Dave Mullins @davos418.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
Found out that Taylor Sheridan took up screenwriting at 40. So maybe there’s hope for me yet. What I lack in talent and experience I make up for in a lack of motivation.
