#Junesploitation DAY 14: CANNON

AMSTERDAMNED (1988) Dick Maas

Many thrillers build atmosphere with environment, Maas cleverly feeding Italy's giallo through Dutch urban planning, utilizing canal infrastructures to stalk 24/7 for black gloved chaos of the aquatic horror variety.

@torsodapop Ah, this was a great video rental for me back in the day. Such an atmospheric movie. I always remember the video cover too...🤘

[Tony Frame @ThatTonyFrame]

Probably the greatest Christmas Special that ever aired...

[Tony Frame @ThatTonyFrame]

Wow, just wow.

[Tony Frame @ThatTonyFrame]

@cjtudor I'd just blame the snacks that got in the way at the time of writing, or the pets! 😂

#Junesploitation DAY 1: 90S ACTION

FULL CONTACT (1992) Ringo Lam

Lam's nasty stylistic side-step away from sociological hotbeds choreographed by legend Lau Kar-wing & featuring some truly astonishing bullet POV camerawork—get the funk out of town if you have not seen this film.

People making AI slop videos really do think they're filmmakers / creatives. Some of them are so deluded, they're like a cult. The cult of AI slop. 99% of them wouldn't know an f-stop from a bus stop.

The third and final part of making an action movie in the old neighborhood of Dedridge, Livingston, back in the 1990s... 🤣

If a possibly AI-generated story can win a major literary award, what does that mean for the future of literature?

And where does that leave the writers who DON'T use AI?

So far this year, there's been one AI publishing scandal after another, but this one somehow feels different...

Here are my thoughts on the Granta/Commonwealth Short Story Prize controversy.

@AlyssaMatesic The biggest problem to come is the day a major publisher decides to publish something they admit was written by AI (perhaps because it IS good) - then the floodgates will open & make it even harder for genuine writers to get published. They'll go where the money leads them 😞

Part II - It's the 1990s and you continue to film your amazingly bad action film in the old neighborhood (of Dedridge, Livingston)...

Three of my followers sent me their first pages for critique… but they ALL open their novel in the wrong place.

Number 1 has the protagonist on a plane, number 2 shows a family road trip, and number 3 features a woman driving on the highway.

But "in transit" scenes like this are rarely interesting enough to hook a reader (or agent).

Let's talk about where to open your novel instead.

Never buy AOC PC monitors. This wavy line fault is common with them...

It's 1995 and you decide to make an utterly crap action movie in your neighborhood 🤣

Every author you love was once an unpublished writer who had no idea if their story was good enough.

They faced the same self-doubt, the same fear of rejection, the same moments of wanting to give up.

Here are 5 stories from some of the most iconic authors — BEFORE they made it big:

5️⃣ ERNEST HEMINGWAY

He knew that your first draft is not supposed to be polished, perfect, or even publishable. It's a starting point.

"The first draft of anything is shit."
