Robert Bruinewoud - Assorted Projects

watched Doctor Who with the 10yo grandkid recently – a Jodie Whittaker episode: “The Witchfinders” – near the start there's a lot of arguing and the grandkid got confused and asked: “Who are they all talking about? Who’s ’Satan’?” – i love that they didn’t know – if only all kids could be so lucky 😀

i've always been a little dubious about Stage32 – and wasn't impressed when i recently lost all my stuff with the launch of their "Marketplace" – but the introduction of their new anti-AI vetting process should be celebrated (assuming it works) 😬 #scriptsky www.screenhub.com.au/news/industr...

after seemingly vanishing without a trace, it's good to see *Dust Bunny* get some love as Best Limited Release Feature at this years Fangoria Chainsaw Awards it's a very pretty movie 😘 #scriptsky #horrorsky #filmsky #moviesky www.fangoria.com/2026-fangori...

thoughts and prayers

finding himself unable to enjoy cat videos because of AI-slop, Australian journalist, John Birmingham, suggested the Germans create a new word Ersatzenttäuschung: “the disappointment of the substitute”, the deflation of discovering what seemed authentic was counterfeit, the melancholy of the unreal

yup, it's only a matter of time before some murderer pleads, "but the AI-chat told me to do it" – some might even say it's "inevitable" still, i guess it's good news for God and the Devil – they won't be be dragged into court as often to defend their innocence 😁 #scriptsky ht; Alan O’Neil (on FB)

this is about more than comedy “Observational stand-up about dating and getting older” – fits comfortably into a commissioning document “Three Melbourne men progressively destroy the concept of reality for 22 minutes” – is slightly more difficult #scriptsky zijunli.substack.com/p/why-have-a...

as the Epstein Class become more concerned about the outcome of the midterms, it’s probably a good idea to remind the Public Servants that “just following orders” is not a viable defence

as part of the 18th Biennial Castlemaine & District Festival of Gardens, there will also be an Open Art Studios program two weekends: 24 – 25 Oct and 31 Oct – 01 Nov (with some open 02 – 03 Nov, for the long weekend) #art #culture #artists #gardens #Castlemaine #artstudio

well, this looks like it’s gonna be a hoot! 😅 reminds me a little of the season 5 episode “Smile Time” – in the Buffy spin-off, *Angel* #scriptsky #moviesky #horrorsky substack.com/home/post/p-...

if, like me, you’re a writer of sci-fi and horror – the inevitable rise of AI-based slop religions sounds like the basis for a lot of cool stories what would an AI.slopgod demand from its followers? #horror #scriptsky #scifi www.honest-broker.com/p/10-brutall...

10 great dialogue exchanges unfortunately no links to the actual scripts i’m blanking at the moment, but i’m sure there are others that should be on the list #scriptsky faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-10-great...

thought this may be of interest to any wannabe feature directors a documentary by an Aussie director, Anthony Frith, who took the plunge and shot a “time-travel dinosaur” movie in six days for The Asylum – trailer below: #scriptsky #moviesky #filmsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0aY...

after seeing an old Greek guy on Instagram repair the tyre of his wheelbarrow by cutting a hole in it and filling it with concrete, i now have a new go to response when someone complains that some device isn’t working: “Have you tried cutting a hole in it and filling it with concrete?" #scriptsky

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
