Star Trek IV premiered 39 years ago today. 🐋🐋 Wonder what the film's locations look like today? Check out this fan-made short, shot in the same places and using the same angles. It's Kirk (Punk on Bus) Thatcher approved!
Happy 39th Anniversary Star Trek IV, the Voyage Home. The 2nd Trek movie I saw in theatres. I loved it.
In 2016 we shot a short tribute film in many of the same locations. It was fun, please check it out at the link if you have 6 minutes to spare. 🙂

Do you have a Christmas script?
Here's mine. Post yours
SCROOGE: REQUIEM
After Scrooge breaks his Christmas vow, a vengeful 4th Spirit turns Tiny Tim’s illness into a zombie plague. Now Scrooge must prove his redemption or watch London perish in a nightmarish hellscape of his own making

Today my frustrations got the better of me with a medical practitioner, who was talking over me instead of allowing me to explain what I needed. My voice elevated and they asked me to lower it yet kept interrupting and getting more defensive with me. I’m still upset right now hours later.

There's a reason one of my mentor's regular reminders was "if they don't curse when you walk in the room you're not doing your job right."
I think it’s such a perfect case study for why “access journalism” to political figures is such a crock of shit. Most people can’t spend a ton of time with people without getting to like them, or at least sympathize with them. This is obviously an extreme case, but I think it’s always dangerous
One thing about RFKuzzi is that I feel like we all need to recognize these cloying “personal” details as signs of simpering sycophancy.
When a reporter breathlessly says he was at RFK Jr’s side when he heard the Kirk news, we should think: “Oh, I get it. This reporter is a huge piece of shit.”

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I got the same email today. They’ve been a huge Trek presence at SDCC and a great alternative/replacement for the defunct and shady Anovos. The team at Hero Within has been fantastic in both their work and customer service.
very sad to see this email from Hero Within in my inbox today. They are losing their Star Trek license as a result of the merger increasing costs.

Elmer Bernstein's score to "Devil In A Blue Dress" finally comes to Compact Disc from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social. The original album only had three cues, two of which weren't in the film and one that was heavily re-edited.

Despite creating two tv shows, there really isn't much income after you're done making them. In animation especially.
Because of how my income works, I am technically a business, so I don't get unemployment.
My wife has a full time job that isn't in entertainment. That's how I can do anything.

2. It's rare for any creative, including writers, to be able to live solely off their creative income. Moreover, there is no correlation between the creative value of art and the income status of its creator. It's okay to have another gig to eat and pay bills and survive our capitalist hellscape.

The Joker vs The Skipper Thanksgiving Dinner Showdown! Their fight over Anton is probably the most tragic aspect of what undoubtedly was a bitter feud, as I’m sure Anton used to play concertina at the Lobster Barrel before Cesar worked his charms to lure him away… “For you, my dear Anton - A PIANO!”
