American Theatre Companies Big and Small: PLEASE STOP using AI Generated images to promote your shows. I know times are tough but you're saying it's alright if AI steals from these artists. I know budgets are tight. There are other ways to promote your shows.

Grateful to the folks over on the Stunt List for showcasing this very silly stunt spec script I wrote. How do you make an Uno movie? I chose to make it about the people who love Uno, and it's a bit of a love letter to the Midwest. And there's lots of HIGH STAKES LIFE OR DEATH UNO.

An Uno playing card with a bullet hole through the O. The tagline says "Draw 4 Your Life" and it is on the Stunt List webpage.

Lights. Camera. RADNESS—

For your consideration, The Stunt List S4 presents the premiere of an original series from an Oscar-winner, never-before-seen pages from a comedy legend, & introduces emerging scribes who are HOT (on the page) but don’t know it—

Hey... That's me and my silly stunt script! Thanks @ashlazer.bsky.social and everyone at the #Stuntlist

Ash Lazer @ashlazer.bsky.social · Sep 8

And you already know we have the raddest stunts—

John August & Craig Mazin have joked about an #UNO movie eventually becoming a reality on #Scriptnotes—and this script could make it happen! 👇🏻

We got a sunflower. We named her Maribel. It's beautiful and brings me joy daily. Maybe it will bring you some joy today. Stay strong and beautiful, like Maribel.

"You took an oath to uphold the law and defend the citizens without fear or favor," said Vimes. "And to protect the innocent. That's all they put in. Maybe they thought those were the important things. Nothing in there about orders, even from me."

I finally got to "Night Watch" by Sir Terry Pratchett. It's honestly amazing timely "Night Watch" feels right now and how timeless the Discworld books feel in general. Vimes has been my guy from the start but this sealed him as one of my all-time favorite characters.

Has anyone checked if there's a river of slime running under the country? Is this a Ghostbusters II situation?
