@romiesays.bsky.socialthis gradual process of uploading my filmmaking archive has made clear to me: (1) I have a recognizable style across time that persists no matter the budget, cast, or crew (2) that style is: strange, tender, with a beautiful woman (3) the more this is true, the more audiences like it
@romiesays.bsky.socialOn Tuesday I uploaded a 21-year-old tossed off short that I remember as being just ok but it turns out I might like a lot. It's changed my mind about which feature I may make next.
@romiesays.bsky.socialcoincidentally, I was just an hour ago reading Colson Whitehead's "The Intuitionist" in which everybody's race is plot-critical and much of the plot is politics. I am enjoying it very much and would recommend to other science fiction noir enjoyers! go read it
@romiesays.bsky.socialanyway props to Schubert; wrote an overwhelming amount of grand music very quickly before he died of Syphilis age 31 and asked to be buried next to Beethoven. Which he then was? Even though he was unemployed and not super beloved yet? And then when they moved Beethoven's grave, they moved him too?
@romiesays.bsky.socialwas able to insert a subtle jab into the captioning because he had someone sing Ave Maria to celebrate Italian heritage and I know it's composed by the non-Italian Franz Schubert.
@romiesays.bsky.socialtrump blithering right now about how you weren't allowed to name characters Italian names in movies because Woke found it discriminatory no idea what time period he is describing because it's imaginary
@romiesays.bsky.socialNothing but respect for MY Digger

@romiesays.bsky.socialI've watched Disney's Three Musketeers way too many times because his Rochefort is peak
@romiesays.bsky.socialbased on Nathan Fielder's previous work, I suspect the documentary *is* a documentary of the documentary
@romiesays.bsky.socialI tell myself not to worry because I'm going to cut or reword all of this later. (I never cut any of it and do only minimal rewording, but I don't let myself know that.)
@romiesays.bsky.socialHow I arrived on Bluesky.
@romiesays.bsky.socialOh man I really want there to be. Please put him in a fiction.
@romiesays.bsky.socialI'm still experiencing post-separation abuse three years after leaving an abusive and violent marriage. Third parties buy into the idea that it's love, but it's rage. It's extremely dehumanizing. You nailed it.

@romiesays.bsky.socialReposted by @romiesays.bsky.socialI have a story out (a novelette) in this anthology. It's cozy, it's an apocalypse, it's time travel murder, it's invented future slang, there's a cameo by @brklyndragon.bsky.social as a mysterious cowboy who can command wolves

@romiesays.bsky.socialI was saying just yesterday that I would love to have a pet bat, but we would make each other sick (I'd get bat viruses and die; bat would get human funguses and die). It can never be. Total Ladyhawk situation.
