  • B-b-b-but @MakeshiftPython !!!!! Aston Lotus says… uh uh…. Uhm, like diversity hiring and, and uh, women -WOMEN- on the bridge and chicks gotta be hot. No ugly women on the bridge or in DC or in Star Wars!! Just HOT CHIXXX!!! and uh diversity ruins…

  • @AstonLotus ... You have absolutely ZERO idea why any director gets hired, so save your alt.right rubbish to Breitbart.

  • I love when men, who are in fear of women, talk about actresses who are "way too ugly", and which ones are hot. I'd love to get his measurements, lol... Anyone who talks like a Biff, really does wear his inferiorities on his sleeve.

  • @mtm - finished Andrew’s video notes. I love how he briefly, but intelligently, touches on the script writing process, both in this film, and films in general. A million decisions made, for only one film. People who are unsure how films come toge…
  • mtm wrote: » Oh yeah, most definitely. Home Alone is just Straw Dogs for kids! With fewer shotguns :D 💯 💯 💯 😂
  • Ahaha, read all the SF tweets @mtm; his last one, my favourite and I’ve said this here: Home Alone finale? No, homage to Straw Dogs.

  • I’m about half way through @mtm …. Andrew really knows his stuff. I love how he dissects themes, character, story-elements like swagger and humour, and the idea of plot vs story; he’s able to theorize about unexplored threads that kind of just stop …
  • @mtm , I’ve done this numerous times with drafts of the original Die Hard. There was an excellent, excellent, excellent script called FIRST LAST KISS (I love that title), and it’s a rom-com— which is NOT my genre (but I READ all genres). This inc…
  • @mtm, a fun exercise as well, is to take a script, and follow the finished film, page by page and see how the production crew deviated from the script, or made changes due to locations they ended up getting, or further exploring themes/character tha…
  • Thanks @mtm … I guess it’s falling on deaf ears, but I used to enjoy these discussions because the process of getting a film made is pretty incredible (and that’s why most die somewhere in development). From an idea, to a story, to creating chara…

  • Does anyone actually watch these videos that Mr Breitbart keeps posting? I haven’t watched one. Am I missing something?

  • What a voice. I was a big fan. Haven't listened to her for a good long while, but this trailer reminded me again of her sublime talent, and the tragedy that her demons took her away from us far too soon. I don't know much about the lead, but she …
