and this is how a similar scene looked in the tv show

the Big Bad Wolf from *Puss in Boots: The Last Wish* – a very creepy muthafucka

still from the movie *Puss in Boots: The Last Wish* featuring the main villain, the Big Bad Wolf holding two sickles against a fiery backdrop

to paraphrase Prussian general, Helmuth von Moltke the Elder: “No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.” #screenwriting #scriptsky

black & white image, overlaid with purple, of Prussian general, Helmuth von Moltke the Elder – wearing one of those helmets with a spike on the top – white text reads: "No outline ever survives contact with the script."

the opposite of déjà vu an article about recent research into what psychologists call, jamais vu – literally, "never seen" – the experience where something familiar and known, suddenly feels wrong or unreal – anyhoo, enjoy: www.sciencealert.com/dj-vu-has-a-...

design using white text on a purple background – the text is the term “deja vu” repeated in many different fonts

yup, i've jumped onto substack in yet another nakedly desperate attempt to network from my garage in the 'burbs #filmsky #moviesky #scriptsky open.substack.com/pub/robertbr...

substack generated image

the top-half is a flat colour with text

the headline reads: Is this even the time?
and the subhead reads: the more things change ...

the bottom half shows a cropped black-and-white picture of myself as a young child peering out of a pram

sharing this because i just love the poster i’m so tired of big floating heads and the other clichés used in entertainment advertising (and genAI) even without the names listed on the poster, this would still be on my Potential Watch List #filmsky #scriptsky

two images from the movie *Knives Out* showing Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, where he is sitting out on the patio smoking a cigar

first image – frustrated, Blanc says: "It makes no damn sense."

second image – thinking, he continues: "Compels me though."

well this is good news – lets hope other jurisdictions around the globe agree and make these parasites pay for the damage they are causing #scriptsky+ #moviesky #filmsky #screenwriting #writing #horrorwriting #art www.reddit.com/r/technology...

screengrab of r/technology (Reddit) article with the headline:
"Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers."

saw this post by Tamir Anshtein on Insta using Zombie Ants controlled by a fungus as a metaphor for AI addiction – genius – worth looking up #creativity #society #writing #filmsky #moviesky #scriptsky

headline image reads: "This is you on AI"
this is followed by a photo of an Zombie Ant with fungus growing out of it, with the caption: "AI, think for me please"

Dan Reed, the director of the devastating documentary *Leaving Neverland* (2019), was asked by The Hollywood Reporter recently what he had learned about Michael Jackson:

excerpt from an article in The Hollywood Reporter this week:

Q: Walk me through the evolution of your thoughts on Michael Jackson through the making of these films. What have you learned?

A: I learned Michael Jackson fucked little boys. That's what I learned. I don't make documentaries about celebrities or pop music or any kind of music. I make documentaries about terror attacks and war and stuff. And so as a filmmaker, this was off my usual beat, but I saw it as a chance to make something about child sexual abuse, which I had actually touched upon in a previous film.

finally got round to watching the delightful *Mrs. Davis* – now i’m not a huge fan of product placement in shows, but the use of the "British Knights" shoe brand is kinda genius so i found it weird that both Wikipedia articles neglected to mention the tie-in 🤔 #scriptsky #scifi #screenwriting

promotional image for the limited series *Mrs. Davis* – set against a dramatic sky in a desert location, the image shows Betty Gilpin (as Sister Simone) riding a motorcycle whilr Jake McDorman (as Preston Wiley) clings to her

back on 4 February 2026, Australian-American conservative commentator Nick Adams, posted a “Dr Trump” image (left) on Xitter and Instagram (since deleted) – but when Trump posted his version, it had a horned figure – Snopes assumes it’s a hallucination ... but it looks more like bad retouching to me

two images of the infamous Trump Jesus image – the "original" image on the left, shows five humans in the sky behind Trump – the image on the right, posted by Trump, has replaced the central human with a strange, 3-horned figure

for a birthday treat, the missus and i watched *Sisu: Road to Revenge* last night – while it would be impossible to match the first *Sisu*, it came damn pretty close when he [spoiler] somersaulted a fuckin’ tank over a road block – 7/10 for more romantic advice, please like and follow 😘 scriptsky+

the ye olde page count debate #scrptsky #scriptsky+ stephenfollows.com/p/is-the-pag...

a scatter plot graph showing run time (Y-axis) compared to page count (X-axis) – the scripts are represented by grey dots and the one-to-one match between time and pages is shown as dotted orange line – the graph shows there is little to no correlation between a script's page count and its movie's run time

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There never was a 1940 film called *Gaslight*. You just imagined it. [2]

happy monetisation-of-love day you can find some of these and more at: www.redbubble.com/people/brown...

purple background with a blue anarchy "A" overlaying a pink love heart with the text "ANARCHY IS LOVE"

purple background on which is a hexagon made up of 12 differently-coloured diamonds – text wrapped around it reads: "Be who you are. Love who you love."

a red graphic featuring a circle around a love heart, over a pink background – the text in the graphic reads: "Radical Left Lunatic"

dark text on a pink background
the text is a play on Frank Herbert's "fear is the mind-killer" litany in his novel *Dune* – it reads: "HATE is the mind killer. Hate is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my hate. I will let it burn away inside me. And when it has consumed itself I will turn and see where there was hate there is nothing. Only I will remain."

above a self-portrait of an arm-less woman in a Victorian-style white dress is the following text: "Sarah Biffen was a Victorian English painter born with no arms and only vestigial legs. She nevertheless taught herself to write, paint, sew and use scissors with her mouth. This is a self-portrait she painted."

went to Adelaide recently and saw Tom Robert’s “The Breakaway!” IRL – this work is regularly featured in Australian art history books, so i was familiar with it – it did not disappoint btw – it inspired an early scene in our script *Red in Tooth & Claw* www.scriptrevolution.com/scripts/red-...

painting by Tom Roberts of the Australian 'Heidelberg School' art movement – i.e. Australian Impressionism – titled, "The Breakaway!" it shows a dry, rural landscape across which a mob of sheep are stampeding toward a small dam of muddy water – a lone stockman on horseback is seen trying to stem the desperate tide of thirsty sheep

this poster probably won't dissuade many wannabe ICE agents, as they're likely to already be actual criminals

classic Uncle Sam poster, but with new text that reads: "Following an illegal order makes you a criminal."

saw this in my feed and it reminded me of a concept i had back in 2019 – the notes read: a horror movie about sentient/possessed Dust Bunnies could be a kids “silly” horror movie with a message re cleanliness, responsibility or whatevs or ... to be continued in comments #scriptsky

illustrated poster for the movie *Dust Bunny* featuring images of the cast against a green and copper background with baroque filigrees

the text reads:
From the monstrous mind of Bryan Fuller
Mads Mikkelsen
Sophie Sloan
Sigourney Weaver

followed by the title rendered in golden, scruffy hair

and then: written & directed by Bryan Fuller
