So this is very selfish but a few years ago I was a finalist in the PAGE Awards. My sci fi actioner, 'Time & Time Again' got industry feedback and I got a few prodco reads, but cos I wasn't willing to uproot myself it didn't sell.
I am adamant that it would be a hit. I would have it made.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

My occasional prod to say I wrote a book of short horror stories, and they're really fucking good (said by other people with inarguably exceptional taste)
Shitty people get what's coming to 'em. But also, cannibalism! Ghost children! Revenge! Grave robbing! You know, the fun stuff.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Last time I saw this movie was a mostly pink, faded and battered 35mm print. Excited to see it in 4K (and with a commentary by @horrornonna.com and @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social 🤌🏼)!
