If you can’t get equal pay after writing a $240M hit, there’s a problem: Crazy Rich Asians co-writer Adele Lim dropped out of 2 sequels after learning she’d be paid 1/8 of her white male co-writer. 6 years later still no sequel. #AAPIHeritageMonth theguardian.com/film/2019/sep/….
Crazy Rich Asians co-writer quits after being offered eighth of writer's salary

If a toddler came in barefoot saying they’re wearing Godzilla shoes, they’re Godzilla shoes! I wonder if Imagination 101 is in doctor training…

When you're sick and live alone, you realise how incredibly vulnerable you are.

At my Sri Lankan cousin’s wedding, his white mother-in-law said, “I hope the baby’s not going to be black!” My mum (bless her) replied “well what do you think is going to happen?!” The baby is now an international model.

Kudos for him but I applaud her position. She went on to success with other projects.

Doesn’t help that the militant Christian right is so overtly misogynistic. Gives Christianity as a whole a bad name.

No masks? Does that apply to white supremacists too?

Tell me a story about yourself that sounds like a lie but is absolutely true. Got circled by a Bronze Whaler shark whilst snorkelling. Shredded myself trying to escape through a coral reef. Blood everywhere. 🦈

Never say you’re an aspiring writer. If you write and are working toward making it a living, you’re a writer.

It’s incredible to me that the writer of Bill and Ted, Men In Black and Now You See Me isn’t lighting cigars with $100 bills. Those movies didn’t make a profit? Their accountant is more creative than all of us!

Actor friend: I’m going to write a script. Me: Have you studied screenwriting at all? Actor: I was good at English at school and I’m an actor so I have no problem writing. People, I did not say a thing.
