Swimmer to Superstar
I died in an accident and met a so-called ROB who turned out to be Poseidon. He sent me to Earth in 1961 with nerfed water powers and erased my memories until I turned 18.- 2.6 K • May 19, '25

Chicago Sun-Times — Review by Roger Ebert is a surprising entry into the growing slasher genre, one that demonstrates far more craft than its lurid premise might suggest. While clearly inspired by the success of , the film distinguishes itself through confident direction and an unexpectedly effective narrative misdirection. The film’s greatest strength lies in its manipulation of audience expectations. By positioning one character as a likely suspect, only to subvert that assumption in a…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

Gene Siskel didn’t have high expectations when he received an invitation to the premiere of . The reason was simple: had been such a big hit two years ago that copies were bound to follow. This happens with every film that becomes a major success, whether it’s comedy, romance, tragedy, sci-fi, or even horror. Slasher horror, especially, makes copying easier because it can be made cheaply and quickly. If is a hit, more copies and inspirations of the movie will permeate Hollywood. “What do you…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

“Congratulations on the success of , Noah.” “Thank you, David,” I said, nodding gratefully at him. It felt strange to be meeting David Letterman during his first year hosting a talk show on NBC. The 1980s were a very different time for talk shows compared to what I remembered from the 2020s. The ruler of the industry was undoubtedly Johnny Carson, whom I badly wanted to interview with. Unfortunately, Carson wasn’t interested. I wasn’t big enough for his time. Something similar happened…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

“Action!” At Mr. Gardner’s cue, I took off across the campus, my breath steady as a steadicam operator fell into stride beside me. Renting the rig and hiring someone skilled enough to handle it had been expensive, but it was an expense I couldn’t cut. I had a very specific vision for this scene, and without a steadicam, it simply wouldn’t work. Some things were non-negotiable, even on a micro-budget. Every other outdoor scene had already been shot. This was the last one, held back only…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

It surprised Al Pacino to learn that a mere 18-year-old had written such an impressive story. When Noah left the script for him that day, Al had been irritated. It wasn’t the first time an acquaintance had tried to corner him into working together, and he was usually very good at shutting those attempts down. Still, there was something about Noah that stirred his curiosity. If the boy had managed to sell a script to Columbia and earn enough money to buy a house right next to his, he couldn’t be…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-48
I cut cleanly through the water until I reached the end of the lane, flipped into a smooth turn, and powered back toward the starting block. As I touched the wall, my teammate launched himself forward to face swimmers from the other Ivy League schools. As good a swimmer as I was, there was nothing more I could do once my leg of the relay ended. If I really wanted to, I could temporarily boost my teammates, the same way I had helped Julie while filming The Blue Lagoon. But that would’ve been pushing…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

Warning: NSFW content (aka smut) ahead. Sean entered the room, carefully and slowly, making sure not to spook us by any sudden movement. “Are you kids ready?” “As ready as I’ll ever be,” I said, my tone bland and devoid of any real enthusiasm. The old cabin didn’t have any air-conditioning, and Sean didn’t have the budget to install it for the production. The summer heat, when added to nerves, made sure my body was glistening with sweat. And that was when I wore nothing underneath…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

“You seem oddly happy today,” Sean noted the moment I walked onto the set. His voice carried that mix of suspicion and amusement that only a director could manage before a long shoot. I grinned mischievously and shrugged. “Just had a great sleep last night. Nothing else.” Beside me, Kevin Bacon let out a dramatic scoff. “Oh, really? Because from what I could hear, you didn’t sleep at all. And because of you, none of us could either.” I blinked, caught off guard, and turned to look at…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

“Oh,” Jeannine blinked a few times, a teasing glint quickly replacing her surprise. “You should have told me we were skinny dipping. And here I went through the trouble of changing into my bathing suit.” “I’m so sorry, Jean,” I said. “It is just that, during my last film, I used to skinny dip a lot in the ocean. I got used to the freedom of it. And since no one else was coming…” I stopped mid-sentence as she pulled off her bikini top and threw it directly into my face. I hurriedly…- 199.4 K • Ongoing
