Wow. I just watched a movie that’s been getting universal acclaim and was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and… I thought it was fucking terrible. Seeing people gush over this thing makes me feel like i took crazy pills.

More Robert Eggers news, the guy is hot, with NOSFERATU a surprise hit. About to enter his downfall and sellout stage. Or, who knows, maybe the LABYRINTH movie will be great. But, will there be vampire dicks or mermaid vaginas?

The link works! It's just the preview that shows an error. Mailchimp should fix that.

Just updated my production diary for my film THE ORIGINAL COPY. We're nailing down the design of our hero prop that will be prominently featured in the film. In this post I introduce our product designer and prop builders, and offer a peek at some kitchen-counter R&D happening behind the scenes of our science fiction film.

Previous drafts had teen aliens Cal and Rex enrolled in the local high school as cover. The story played out over weeks. There was a scene at the prom. Another at a basketball game. There was a man-eating monster involved. All this gave Cal and Betty plenty of time to fall in love. Now I'm stripping it down for budgetary reasons. Six teens, one night. Stranded in the woods near a lake, and there's a flying saucer. I think my biggest challenge is going to be preserving the love story. But hell, Romeo and Juliet fall madly in love in basically TWO scenes. So: all I have to do is be as good as William Shakespeare.

Think 60s B-movie with a liberal dash of Cronenberg body horror. My look book is full of pics of 60s teen idols and stills from "The Outer Limits" 🖤 🤍

Overhauling my feature #screenplay UNEARTHLY this morning. Everything changes but for the basic premise. Logline: "In 1962, teenaged aliens Rex and Calvin arrive on Earth to evaluate our planet’s suitability for a full-scale invasion. But when Calvin meets the human named Betty, their mission goes awry." To be filmed in black-and-white, of course. #amwriting #screenwriting #scifi #ScienceFiction #MidCentury #indiefilm

In my long life there are but a handful of movies that hit me so hard I still remember those minutes after the film, of walking out of the theater in an altered state of reality. First on that short list is BLUE VELVET. Thank you for the dreams, #DavidLynch

Heartbreaking. One bright note: the Eames House survived.
