I write stuff, and sometimes they pay me for it! Also, I wrote a sequel to E.T. Thankfully it never became a thing. imdb.me/nickr #WGAStong
70 years ago in Hill Valley, CA, lightning struck the Clock Tower at 10:04pm. Physicist Dr. Emmett Brown, who was conducting an experiment at the time, was unhurt. Lore has it that Brown's weather sensing equipment vanished during the storm, along with high schooler Calvin Klein.

Weekend binge: #DeathbyLightning. The (quick) story of ( #POTUS20 ) James Garfield's reluctant rise to President.
Dark. Witty. Great writing.
Michael Shannon plays Garfield, Nick Offerman is spot-on Chester Arthur, and Matthew Macfadyen is (as always) fantastic. #FilmSky #Netflix

Had an interesting back-and-forth in the screenwriting subreddit.
Bottom line: If you're looking for #WGA membership -- DO NOT use AI/GAI.
If you need AI write, you're not a writer -- you're a prompt generator. AND yes, I use an em dash. You know why AI uses it? Because AI learned it from writers.

You may have already seen the 2010 Matt Reeves version. I highly recommend the original 2008 Swedish version directed by Tomas Alfredson, written by John Ajvide Lindqvist (based on his novel). #FilmSky #HorrorSky Here's a side-by-side comparison of one scene.
