26.01.2026 14:12 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 1Watching Thirst for the first time as we speak, and I agree. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve seen by him.
24.01.2026 03:44 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It absolutely rocks, eh?
24.01.2026 00:51 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Theatre is so good for inspiration! @bimbo.phd mentioned opera a while back too, so I’m gonna go see one of those for the first time, sometime this year.
23.01.2026 16:48 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I do think taking inspiration from film is valid and valuable, but (a.) not when it’s your only other artistic frame of reference, (b.) not when the goal is to make your project “more like a movie,” like you said, at the expense of play, and (c.) not when you only watch contemporary Hollywood stuff.
