this monorail scene may be meaningless to many but it’s important to me.

it's important when writing a screenplay to think globally and put an entire reveal on something incomprehensible to anyone who didn't live in Sydney in 2002.

I should stress the initial suggestion was watching Pirates 3 but I’d watched it a week before. I had also watched Monte Cristo less than a week before but I swear the plan was β€œwe can watch the first 20 minutes to see if you like it?”

I’ve started the most obscure, least profitable pyramid scheme where I convince the entire world to watch The Count of Monte Cristo by going to your house and watching it with you.

insane that The Maltese Falcon and the Count of Monte Cristo have the same Maguffin

Being held hostage at the library (had a bunch of very overdue items preventing me from borrowing, which I put through the slot when I got here, but have not been processed yet preventing me from checking out all the things I now want to borrow)

I can confirm the murder could not have happened as written but I’m not gonna put the specifics on blast cos it’s an author I like and prior to specifically training in this specific on-set role I would have assumed it operated the way it was written. also I am sitting in a big glass house rn.

the book that prompted this has now gone into even more detail about a thing I know too much about and if the entire crime rests on this I will have to go to the author’s house and explain my passions to him.

Absolutely - I think a lot about Josh Johnson saying the first thing people want from AI is a friend or a slave but I do think there’s overlap between those two categories when it comes to AI girlfriends/Marilyn in your personal romcom definitely just a romcom πŸ˜‰

The duality of woman is really liking the idea of Westerns and all the things they could say about humanity’s desire to β€œtame” and exploit nature but hating 99% of the shit most westerns actually do say.

also just, as someone who has spent a lot of time behind a camera, I do not wish to be in front of one. i wish to be in shorts and a t-shirt with the greasiest pastiest face imaginable and for that to have no impact on what I'm saying and how seriously you take me.
