Hi. I’m Eric. Writer of the medium formerly known as television. My current project is an audio drama for Audible (non-IP, based on an original idea of mine), set to be released sometime in the very near future. My next project after that is…who knows! Will linear time even continue exist anymore!?!

Okay #scriptsky, I'm trying out a brand new, relatively high-end, Intel-based Windows laptop, and I'm finding that both Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter. Any screenwriters out there using a Windows machine as their main writing device?

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

Not sure what's weirder, that apparently the only studio still sending out physical screener DVDs is Amazon Studios...

have we learned NOTHING from the Betty White fiasco?!
On Dec. 13, Dick Van Dyke, legendary actor of stage and screen, will turn 100 years old.
But despite his centenarian status, Van Dyke has no intention of hanging up his hat just yet. In fact, he’s far from being done.

🚨Three Chinese astronauts couldn’t return to Earth after space junk hit their spacecraft. Scientists warn this could be just the first of more accidents caused by orbital debris.
The situation is concerning. “There are a lot of people up there,” one source told me.
