Happy, International Dog Day from Suji, International Pug of Mystery!

August 25, 2020: On writing, Transpecos, and amazing people with whom I have worked!

My thoughts on writing, feeling guilty, and that sense of accomplishment... The Crime Club reconvenes to discuss Transpecos... For a small movie, Transpecos accomplishes a lot, crafting an engaging story about three border guards and the bloody encounter with a drug smuggler that forever changes their lives.  It gets off to a slow start as…

August 24, 2020: 2 steps forward; 1 step back! Amazing people with whom I have worked!

Well, I've had better days.  While, on the one hand, I just closed a deal to develop two new sci-fi shows, another project was dealt a serious blow with the departure of one of my favorite executives down south.  Meanwhile, things remain quiet as I await word on some other projects in play. Having close…

August 23, 2020: Suji Sunday!

The "Just Woke Up!" face. The (orange) boots are made for walking. The staredown. Ice cream picnic!

August 19, 2020: Stargate BTS video! Mountain Dew Doritos Cupcakes! And the Crime Club convenes to discuss Mother!

Behind the scenes on Stargate: Universe, "Water". What do you think?  Yes/No https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1296085067945725955 The Crime Club convenes to discuss the South Korean thriller Mother. In a word - Wow! Director Bong Joon-ho is known for movies like Parasite, Snowpiercer, and The Host, but it seems like everyone (including yours truly) has slept on this one.…

August 18, 2020: Locking down my writing schedule! The Crime Club convenes to discuss Once Upon a Time in America!

Alrighty, time to lock down my writing schedule for the next few months.  Yesterday, I delivered the series overview for that fantasy book adaptation.  This week, I finish off the pitch for the out-there hero.  I'm dedicating all of September to the pilot and overview for that far-future series that will combine my love of…

August 17, 2020: On breakfast, brunches, and late dinners! The Crime Club convenes to discuss A Touch of Sin!

Akemi is genuinely lack toast intolerant.  If she doesn't get to eat her toast in the morning, she can get downright cranky.  I, on the other hand, never eat breakfast.  I'm never particularly hungry in the morning and I always like to work up a good appetite before lunch which is always my biggest meal…

August 16, 2020: Suji Sunday!

Yearning for the old country. They call her...The Blue Flame! Uniquely talented. The goofy snoozer. Suji in her natural habitat - her dog beds...

August 15, 2020: From the Stargate vault – SGU’s “Space”! The Crime Club reconvenes to discuss Bunny Lake is Missing!

Fromt he Stargate vault... We had the most beautiful sets on Stargate: Universe.  Pictured above, the interior alien vessel from "Space" c/o Production Designer James Robbins and our amazing departments (art, construction, paint, lighting, etc.) Director Andy Mikita talks shop with actor Louis Ferreira (Stargate Universe - "Space"). Our resident (motion capture) alien chilling between…

August 14, 2020: This bodes ill! Cake shake! The Crime Club convenes to discuss 36th Precinct!

I woke up this morning with a dark sense of foreboding, I assumed, logically, as a result of some unremembered nightmare I'd had the night before.  But, as it turns out, it was prescience.  I turned on my laptop and brought up the overview I've been working on - only to discover the work I'd…

August 12, 2020: Not giving up my day job! The Crime Club convenes to discuss Three Kings!

Hey, have you noticed how those financial gurus on youtube all dress like they shop at Goodwill?  Would you take investment advice from someone who looks like your uncle from his vacation photos in Boca Rotan? No, it would seem the only one you can rely on to make sound financial decisions in your interest…

August 11, 2020: Chocolate covered jalapeños, bunker-mode, and the Crime Club convenes to discussion Confessions!

Whoa.  How's this for a culinary Yes/No? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1293197073639264257 Now as much as I love chocolate and jalapeños and peanut butter (Yes, that's a peanut butter liquid center and not cheese) I'm not sure I can get behind this.  The combination is weird.  Apple pie and cheddar cheese slice weird. (Hmm.  I seemed to have lost…

August 10, 2020: Heroes, Villains, and Hot Cheetos King Crab Legs! The Crime Club convenes to discuss Hard Boiled!

So, Yes/No? https://twitter.com/foodhip/status/1291239345593159680 As much as I admire the ingenuity - and love spicy - I think it's a terrible injustice done to those sweet crab legs.  So, no. Question: If you finish something early, do you deliver early?  Or do you sit on it until the deadline? Film-themed questions! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1292238266784243712 A hero's private life…

August 9, 2020: Suji Sunday!
