Take this as a compliment: I immediately read this as iykyk code for some obscure moment where people turned the wealthy into "rich" soil for their lemon orchard etc.

"Based on the provided search results, there is no information available regarding 'fertilizing an orchard with dead aristocrats.'"

This screen was Stephen's idea (company co-owner). Gives you a little sample of the writing and Emma's VO in both scripts, like:

"Are you sure you want this in your eyes? Because we're gonna spray it right in there, and if you blink we have to start over"

My theory is that Tarantino senses his own geeky self-awareness (as an actor) in a few male performers and deep down LOATHES it...

... but ironically doesn't have the actual self-awareness to cringe at himself directly. So he reflexively tries to burn them, almost as living effigies of himself.

Being a game developer is a funny job because most of the time people are just kinda baffled or don't really care. But every so often you'll get a new dentist who tells their entire staff that you met the voice actors from Baldur's Gate and they proceed to treat you like the pope

take heart: maybe he goes hard "method" on set, refusing to go anywhere, including bathrooms - unless he's flying one of those janky personal jetpacks.

End up sucked into the air intake of some commercial craft.

You wouldn't get your sequel, buuuut you might receive various awards

Sharing again for the evening crowd. We've been working on this for almost two years, I'm very proud of it, and it launches in four weeks!

And yeah, Evolve PR and Team Audio did a fantastic job with the trailer.

an entirely unexpected mention of Batman in the middle of a modernized morality play from a medieval source: the combination of which effortlessly one-shotted null's brain.

Excerpt from an article called The Devil - in Dutch, published in the Belgian journal Streuen (LUI, 53,Nov. 1985,119-148)

Emphasis mine.

This one-shotted my brain. I... think god, or the devil may be telling me it's time to stop doing research and log off

Simon Russell Beale is my favorite Falstaff performance - his subtle frailty. Yet Welles - *lived* him.

His (appropriately, filched!) quote that "-had Hamlet lived, he would have escaped execution, settled down in England, and become Jack Falstaff" was IMO: delightfully, eternally autobiographical.

Aw, hell. Seems like you're taking the realistic view, but love and good luck to you anyway through it.

When you give a commencement speech to 2030's crop of ipads on remote operated sticks, connected to chat GPT - who feel nothing for language itself but appear rapt,

You should END it, "without further ado", optional mic drop but it opens you to critique, from... well, just us relics

My hand just tried to write 2006, instead of 2026.

As good a time as any to tell you that we've just gained the rights to a live-action version of this tweet.

You're played by an actor who *loves* the project.

My writing is NOT too long. I just... add paragraph breaks, free of charge.

See? Blame all my ADHD, plus probably some as-yet undiagnosed bonus trashbrain!

It's way easier to read, shut UP! Who wants a wall of words?! Look I'll take them out, see how few pages it is n-
... ok no, it's just long.πŸ’€
