I've long said the 2 best books on screenwriting are by Paul Gulino and Linda Aronson, so to get cover endorsements from both slightly blew my mind...

BEYOND THE MONOPLOT out in Feb 2025, ask your uni library to order it (it's expensive). Affordable paperback coming 2026.

@Cristiano I'd like to reread the chapter in which you're accused of anally raping a woman without lubricant and then pay her $375,000 to keep quiet

We go through this ridiculous right-wing click bait nonsense every single natural disaster over this payment, which is the maximum allowed for immediate needs under the program, with more needing to be authorized by Congress, which Republicans are currently threatening to block.

This is an exceptionally good video essay published by Illuminace, a Czech film journal.

No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The extraordinary film FROM GROUND ZERO — for which I am proud to be an Executive Producer — is the collection of these short films, told all together in under 2 hours. The fact that this film exists at all is a human and cinematic miracle. Go see FROM GROUND ZERO — in theaters now!

I still think this might be the best thing I've written

Everyone! Whether friend or not, have a great Christmas and look after those around you. Ultimately all we have is each other. Big love 👍💚🕺

[Joshua Oppenheimer @JoshuaOppenheim]

Immensely grateful for @davidehrlich's penetrating look at THE END, the enshittification of culture, and the urgent need to acknowledge and mourn the awful consequences of sentimental storytelling. "Otherwise, our tears are just for show."

He was there against the NF
He was there against apartheid
He was there against missiles
He was there against war
He was there for the students, the nurses and the refugees
And he's standing with the Palestinians, today.
Shoulder to shoulder in solidarity

When the right wins, the argument from centrists is always and forever: move away from the left and closer to the right or die.

How's that working out in the UK?

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Fareed Zakaria just delivered the most articulate response for how Democrats should move forward and get back to winning. This is how it’s done.
