There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Sorry but I am legally obliged to point to my interview with the original (and still credited, despite the script bearing no resemblance to the film) Paris scribes to demonstrate we coulda had a really solid sequel

‘An American Werewolf in Paris’ has their name on it, but the finished product bears virtually no resemblance to the film writers Tom Stern and Tim Burns set out to make. Anotherfilmnerd talks to them...

My heart carries more pain than it can bear.💔

Every breath I take feels borrowed,
and every sunrise reminds me that I survived…
but I’m not truly alive.

Oh lordy. I heard these stories from various people involved. If you want to work in TV, or just are curious about how thoroughly things can go wrong, definitely check this out.

How could a straight-to-series greenlight go so wrong for the first TV series I ever created?! Today, the 5AM StoryTalk Podcast brings you Part 1 of a four-part Hollywood horror story I describe as a cautionary tale for screenwriters about what can happen when all your dreams come true.

I rewatched this movie recently after having not seen it in decades and it was even better than I remembered. Some movies age badly, but MIRACLE MILE keeps finding new ways to reveal how ahead of its time it was.

"MIRACLE MILE is about many things — romance and Los Angeles and the looming threat of nuclear devastation at the close of the Cold War — but also, obsessively, it’s about marking the passage of time."

This image displays a feed of independent journalism archived by Harms Committed under #USA.

The top of the image includes a back button, a share button, and '#usa From @harmscommitted.bsky.social.'

There are two tabs to sort the archived articles, 'Top' and 'Latest.' The 'Latest' tab is highlighted, having been selected.

Below these tabs is a representative post, featuring 2 quotes from the article and relevant hashtags.

The article's title is "Body Camera Video Betrays DHS Account of Chicago Border Patrol Shooting, Attorney Says."

Description of photo: "Federal law enforcement agents are confronted by community members and activists for reportedly shooting a woman in the Brighton Park neighborhood on October 4, 2025 in Broadview, Illinois (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)." Red crime scene tape is positioned at the front of the image, blocking part of the scene.

The post's text reads as follows:
"'[S]ounds like' the agent 'tried to murder an anti-ICE protester in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him.'"

"[B]ody camera footage [.] showed a Border Patrol agent saying to Martinez, 'Do something, bitch' before [.] shooting her at least five times."

He was a legit great actor… (loved him in Catch 22, too!!).

That I had never heard of a film he made with Stuart Gordon of all people is quite surprising to me

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Plan to watch STUCK this week since it popped up on Criterion Channel. The only ones I need to track down are DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS and THE WONDERFUL ICE CREAM SUIT.

And that will be the end of new Stuart Gordon movies for me. One of my absolute favorite artists. RIP

My buddy Zelda has very strong opinions on this stuff. A reminder that her dad left explicit instructions that he did NOT want corporations to be able to do this to him and that means us too. The bare minimum here is to respect the wishes of those who said NO.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Zelda has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of AI for YEARS, long before the technology got to where it is now, because she's:

1) brilliant (go watch Lisa Frankenstein).
2) ridiculously smart.
3) experienced first-hand how fucking WEIRD people are about her Dad.
