remember, a first draft doesn’t have to be perfect! except for mine. mine must be flawless or I might as well quit. I am the only one this applies to.

Sex scenes totally unnecessary in movies. Should just cut to the screenwriter saying “and then they… you know…” so we can skip straight to the good stuff (Chris Pratt calling a guy “dingus” in Avengers 7)

this man was banned from twitter for saying he “preferred AIDS” to people supporting trans rights. when twitter unbanned him, jk rowling gave him a warm welcome back. this is who she is, in case anyone had a shadow of a doubt

I'll keep saying this until I pass out but people did not suddenly wake up one day with bad tastes. There has been a multi decade project by studios to inflate ticket prices and rewrite our entire media language in an effort to funnel us into the same 3 IP tentpoles.
“Hollywood has no original ideas” the problem isn’t Hollywood. They make movies based on money. The fact that “everything everywhere all at once” has only made 18 million total is proof that people are more interested in tights/sequels and remakes. Sorry guys. It’s our fault.
