@straczynski This is incredible. I worked on a show in December as Script Coordinator and we were up to buff, tan and goldenrod (my favourite) without any real effort.

Yeah. We generally shot whites (1st), sometimes went to blue (2nd) or pink (3rd) but those were almost always catching typos or making changes to accommodate physical production, not story or script changes.

@straczynski You shot most of B5 after season 2 ep 2, as first drafts?!?!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

@straczynski I wrote and directed a stage adaptation of The Island of Dr Moreau, and half a sentence on the first page ('his case was discussed among psychologists') became half the play.

That only maybe/sorta/kinda applies if all you're doing is changing the margins but keeping everything else the same. That's not adaptation. One paragraph can become a whole scene, a line can suggest a lengthy conversation, and you need to add material to work in a visual medium.

@BoazChiu @straczynski The story would merit it. My rule of thumb is that 1 page of book = 1 minute of film/video. The 4 books of the main story are 800-ish pages. Meaning about 12 hours of story - there isn’t much fat to cut.

@straczynski I expect you know already, and probably get this a lot, but I hear RTD is leaving Dr Who after the next special and the BBC are currently actively looking for a new showrunner to take over from 2027. Tell me you've already thrown your hat in...

@straczynski 20 years! About time you went back methinks. Glad to know it's going well. If you are looking to set up meetings with TV production execs looking to do comic book adaptations, I genuinely can help there.

So far, so good, and the FP photo was taken something like 20 years ago.

@straczynski How are things going in London so far? And when were you at Forbidden Planet???

One of my least favorite photos...I look like a demon-possessed Mr. Potato Head...but a fun little video.

@straczynski Is it me, or do Mira, Claudia, Patricia and Marjorie just look exactly how they look in my head?

Yup, it's another ramble show. It's all about giving notes to writers. As if I need any excuse to do that!

@LetsTalkReal23 @LeadingReport @elonmusk Alternatively, maybe support the children so they get to the point where they can open up to their parents. If a child has requested transition, then calling them a 'massive problem' is not going to help.

@elonmusk Why is this a particular issue to you? I'm assuming you are completely out of touch. It is now very difficult just to get by. Inflation, cost of living etc. My parents' generation could buy a house and raise a family on one income alone. Now two people can barely afford to rent.

BREAKING: U.S. Fertility Rate Reaches Record Low. New data from the CDC shows the U.S. fertility rate has reached a record low. A little more than 3.5 million babies were born, representing a 3% drop in birth rates.

@KVigilP @EricLDaugh I think it's: war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.

@EricLDaugh President Trump has the most strategic mind and the greatest grit to go after his vision of PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH! This is how he can accomplish this for decades.

Greenland is a territory of Denmark, but governs itself.
The U.S. would stand to economically and geopolitically gain if we bring in Greenland and Canada as U.S. territories, while keeping their governments intact as normal.
We would get all of the geopolitical benefits without having to deal with the problems that come with statehood - IE, the political battles that would ensue.

@elonmusk It's not good that elected officials make decisions? Isn't that what democracy is all about? Or does that only apply when you agree with the decision?
