Do a wee triangle with a wee exclamation mark in it when something on my to do list is urgent and I have four wee triangles with wee exclamation marks in them and it's not even ten.

Au revoir, Simone! The Cabazon dinosaurs sequence is a highlight - shot with panache by Tim Burton, showcasing the ridiculous comedy of Pee-wee Herman with a bittersweet tinge. Check out our new episode about Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) with @julesscheele.bsky.social linktr.ee/onceuponavhs

For a while 'trainee' was an intercommunity word within my subset of the queer internet, a stand in for... the t slur cis people aren't allowed to say but some trans people are reclaiming. So a bunch of film and TV organisations in Scotland promoting their 'trainee finder' always makes me laugh.

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

Nothing is more of a recession indicator than the handful of screenwriters I know currently pivoting into a weird sort of… screenwriter-influencer space. Incredibly suspicious but, worse, extremely cringe.

Do you know what, in the age of AI, it's almost quaint that GMail still goes, 'oh, you're attaching 8 film stills as JPGs to this email, you'll want them to show up as 8 enormous images within the body of the message, right chief?' and just goes ahead and does it anyway.

I think AI witch hunts are a loser's game - some people are just shitty writers - but I got such a whiff of ChatGPT in a big film I was really looking forward to and it has broke my brain. Specific sequences, I mean, dialogue with AI phrasing, jokes that don't really make sense. Rank.
