Reintroducing myself to BlueSky - I’m Brent Simons. With Alan Schoolcraft, I’ve written MEGAMIND, THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR MOVIE. I’m also showrunner/executive producer of MEGAMIND VS. THE DOOM SYNDICATE & MEGAMIND RULES! I like geek stuff, dogs, and martial arts. #animation #screenwriting

Sometimes you detach your retina and use your post-surgery time to prep for a documentary with Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes everyone is talking about. Check out my belated (but now well researched) review of the fantastic You Can See Everything. ericgoldman.substack.com/p/reviewing-...

Since there are so many new folks over here these days, it’s time to once again roll out my How to Write a Horror Movie crash course!

Whoops, All Bangers! at The New Bev this month.

I had a girl Donna was her name Since she left me I've never been the same 'Cause I love my girl Donna, where can you be? Where can you be? Periodic reminder that Terry Long sucks.

Devastated.

An amazing talent and a really nice person. This is just heart breaking.

HALLOWEEN HORROR FILM #12 - CLAYFACE. Holy Body Horror, Batman! (Sorry)

Not usually cocky, but pretty sure I nailed my Bond audition.

Big 👍🏼 for Clayface! It’s horrifying, disturbing, tragic, entertaining. All the things.

HALLOWEEN HORROR FILM #10 - POSSESSION (1981) First time watch. YOWZA! - R.I.P. Sam Neil

What the actual fuck?

Woo-hoo!

Preach.

In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

BioWare has made so many great games. The MASS EFFECT trilogy is one of my all time favorites. This is heartbreaking.

Thank you Written By magazine for this amazing article about our talk on IP at the @WGAWest ! Thanks also to the Middle Eastern and North African Writers Committee for inviting us! Also, I kind of love illustrated Dan + @BenjiSamit! www.writtenby.com/written-by/c...

I mostly let the writers air their Studio 60 grievances, but I must mention two things: 1. Jenna Fischer hosted an ep, and Sorkin never thought to put her and Lucy Davis in a scene together. 2. Lauren Graham hosted another ep, and she didn't get any chance to deliver rat-a-tat Sorkin dialogue.

wasn't the titanic famously NOT turned around?

Shudder leaving AMC+ is a bummer. Also interesting that it (and Sundance) leaving doesnt translate into a subscription price reduction. Hell of a system. "Same price, but you get less! And we will probably raise that price next year."

Another awesome Halloween Horror Night at Universal Studios!

Science still at a loss trying to determine a good place to stand while you wait for your coffee.

Austin Abrams goes through onscreen hell again for our cinematic pleasure in the incredibly effective and harrowing #Whalefall. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceBl...

I had a very good time with Crystal Lake. Cardellini rules, It delivers the gory goods and has ridiculous additions to the lore some fans will hate, but I felt were in the spirit of the movies, which I adore... and which are mostly ridiculous. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZvQ...

HALLOWEEN HORROR FILM #8 - FACES OF DEATH. (2026) This was clever and gross. 👍⚰️🤮

Another strange yet entertaining flick.

I say this a lot but when I started in the comics industry, for whatever reason, there were almost no women working as creators in mainstream comics. Quite a few in indie books and some behind the scenes. But not many with their name on the front of a DC/Marvel book. The legends had left.

HALLOWEEN HORROR FILM #7 - THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES. 1st time watch. This was delightfully nuts!

I was totally entertained.

Great ghost story flick for the spooky season!

Had a blast with all three MARVEL MIDNIGHT books. Each hooked me in very different ways. Excited to read more.

I thought THE SOCIAL RECKONING was very effective and very affecting. I can be hot and cold on Sorkin, but this film - while a different beast than The Social Network - really works well for what it is (a journalistic investigation drama). And the subject matter is important and urgent. Recommended.
