Conclave may have lost most of its Oscar noms but its CLEARING Anora and The Brutalist in cultural relevance as God intended

I love the Olympics because I literally knew almost nothing about rugby a day ago and now I’m screaming at my phone watching Ilona Maher stiff arm defenders like she’s the running back for my favorite college football team

Before she was the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten wrote nuclear policy for two different presidential administrations (ford/carter) and just once I want an interviewer to abruptly pivot and ask questions about like, the long term environmental impacts of uranium mining

I have been giving and receiving notes on scripts/films for 20+ years as a producer, director, story consultant, and screenwriter.
Here are some of the guidelines I have for giving screenwriters notes on their screenplays...

[Sarah McGonagall @gothspiderbitch]

The casting director who decided to cast Carol Burnett as twisted theater villain and enlisted Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters to play her sleazy sidekicks was operating on a wavelength unknown to mere mortals.

Warner Bros. tease an announcement seemingly related to ‘PRACTICAL MAGIC.’

[Lucas Keating @lucasjk616]

Screenwriters with cool, artistic titles on their script’s title page… how? 😭

Look how many camera moves are served up here in this sequence from the og Jurassic Park. Almost nothing is static, Dean Cundey doesn’t let up. My two favorite shots are the Dolly pan & push behind Laura Dern when she closes the circuit & the reveal of the perimeter fence button.

JFK and Jackie at a diner in Oregon, 1959. As Kennedy sat in the diner, he was a senator at the time and still relatively unknown in most parts of the country. He hadn't even officially announced that he was running for president.

However, during this photo, he was on an unofficial campaign trail, and most members of the Democratic Party knew he would run. In fact, back in Washington, a "Stop Kennedy" movement was already underway from his competitors.

Throughout 1959, Kennedy traveled the length and breadth of the land, with a full schedule of speeches and public appearances, combating critics and challengers attempting to derail his bid to win the Democratic nomination.

He traveled all over: the Midwest, California, attended a Cubs game, met Stan Musial (famous Cardinals baseball player), and visited a West Virginia coal factory. Interestingly, he faced smaller crowds out west, and in this photo, taken in Oregon, he was a virtual unknown.

"In Oregon," recalled photographer Jacques Lowe, who traveled with JFK for part of 1959, "Kennedy walked into a union hall to find eleven men waiting to hear him." Undeterred, according to Lowe, JFK didn't miss a step. "Without hesitation, he launched into his speech."
