July 22, 2023: The Weeknd!
Looks like several days of heavy eating ahead.
My sister gets into town today. We have lunch plans tomorrow (Indian) and Monday (Spanish) and may squeeze in some burgers tonight if she isn’t too tired.
Tomorrow, an old friend flies in from Ottawa for the day so we have dinner plans with her tomorrow (Chinese).
Then on Tuesday, Jamie Anderson (son of Gerry!) has a one-day stopover in town with his writing partner as they head back home from SDCC, so we may do lunch and/or dinner (burgers? tacos? pizza?)
Meanwhile, I’ve got my work cut out for me this weekend. Having received input from two lawyers, I’m finishing up the business plan for my horror film this weekend. It finally goes out to investors this week. Also…
I'm going to spend the entire damn weekend trying to come up with a name for this horror movie, aren't I?

I already have a title. In fact, I have several titles. But I don’t really love any of them. I want something quick and clever that reflects the tone and premise. Easier said than done.
Today’s Yes/No…
Hot Honey Pizza? Yes/Nohttps://t.co/FGPFeKbaWE

Is an obvious yes for me, although I’d prefer to go with another maker like, say, Piano Piano up on Harbord that does a delicious version called the Sweet Hornet that includes sausage, chili oil, black olives, and honey.

These have been a fun trip down memory lane. And even more delightful in that I honestly thought I didn’t have golfing sequence – but it turns out I do! Hoping to have an outtake/deleted scene for you a day until the next batch of digital transfers come through covering Revisions and Good to be King.
Meanwhile, how about a little Yes/No…

As the writers’ strike drags on and my pitching has been put on hold, I have shifted focus elsewhere – namely, comics books and film. Two weeks ago, I delivered the penultimate script for my first comic book series since Dark Matter, a horror tale in the vein of Ringo and Final Destination. Today, I receive the go-ahead to start work on the fifth and final issue. It’s been a lot of fun and I can’t wait to hear what you think when the time comes.
Meanwhile, that horror film is still front and center. The budget is more or less set. Tomorrow, Ivon and I have a 9:00 a.m. zoom with Team Bulgaria to discuss. And I await input from my lawyer on the business plan. Hoping to have a package for investors by end of next week. And after that, it’ll be smooooooooooth sailing!
Oh, hey, speaking of horror – check out this monstrosity…

Apparently a controversial take…
It isn't hard to write a movie that makes sense. If you can't do it, you're either incompetent or you hold your audience in such contempt that you figure they're too stupid to notice.
