We’re people. Don’t hold it against us. Or do. Whatever.

@jeannevb Good Will Hunting, The Fisher King. Network.

@unikunka I mean, he digs fun shit too. Child’s Play, Tremors, Beverly Hills Cop, Into the Spiderverse, anime shit… it’s all over the map. But he wants to watch Witness this weekend!

@unikunka My 12 year-old doesn’t like CGI and his favorite films are A Few Good Men, 12 Angry Men, The Man Without a Face, The War, and Searching for Bobby Fisher.

So let’s still make some movies for 45-55 years olds too, not all the young folks are into only theme park joyrides!

@unikunka It’s the only thing that makes sense to me.

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@jeannevb Having done it before is what stops me from doing it again. 😂😂

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@jeannevb Should probably just do a better job the first time around! 😂😂

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@jeannevb Always shit to mention in retrospect, like the global market putting an emphasis on easily translated action vs dialogue. And how other mediums like more immersive video games have joined memes in making movies no longer the dominant cultural artform.

@Montagsdayjob YESSSSSSSSS. Love it!

Nate wrote the 1st draft like 13 years ago, got close, stepped away from the frustrations of Hollywood for a few years to write a graphic novel, prose, & help produce a nasty little flick we made called Cactus Jack—only to return with a vengeance & get his movie made!! CONGRATS!!

@JJthewriter EW!!

56 CANDLES

On the eve of his 56th birthday, Ted Farmer's entire life—the software business he built from the ground up, his loving family, the beautiful house on Lake Michigan—are all threatened when a woman named Caroline claims he #metooed her after a party in high school.

@Montagsdayjob Yeah, crazy that dudes used to pitch 300+ innings back in the day. Then again, that was before the era of launch angles and weight rooms, when pitchers threw to contact, weren’t constantly slinging sliders and slurves and 100+ mph heaters for 5 innings. Bring back small ball! 😂

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@Montagsdayjob @Maggie_Kimmitt @AoDespair @Dodgers @Orioles My O’s are scuffling. Pitching is hurtin’! Almost wanted them to go after Flaherty at the deadline as good as he’s been but they tried that last year and… yeah, no bueno.

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

Never forget.

South Park creators gave the greatest lesson on storytelling ever

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@Montagsdayjob Love you, man! Forever and ever! We gotta catch up some time.

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@JJthewriter And vets like us, who need that revelation (it came to me regrettably late) or reminder as well.

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

Since everyone’s doling out writing/script analyzation advice on here, I’ll join the fray. Came across this quote by George Miller in the preface of the book “Steven Spielberg: All the Films” as I was taking a brisket shit. Good stuff, and something everyone should internalize.

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@JJthewriter When you’re trying to discern which page is by an amateur or pro you’re playing a game. Inherently the fellas and their guests are going to have to point out some warts to make that determmination. This is of course more about aspiring writers and how they engage with reads.

[Them Thorntons @ThemThorntons]

@JJthewriter I shouldn’t have mentioned the Spot the Pro fellas though. I fucked that all up. Not sure if I should blame the herb or the brisket. 😂
