I feel like I’m going insane, but surely the IOS keyboard is making a ton more mistakes than before! It’s always getting words wrong 😬😬

@RowanBrightonB The first draft of my book was 55k words. The last draft was 95k.

When I say I'm an underwriter, I mean it. There's a 25K-word difference between Draft 1 and Draft 2!

Oppenheimer isn’t a top-5 Nolan film. IDC lol
Kevin Schwartz@sc882711331
@JoshEberley Oppenheimer is easily the best one here, the magnum opus from the best filmmaker working in the last 25 years
English
@rachel_reviews Yeah, it is a good movie. It's not an Oscar caliber movie, but it's good.
Also, I think Jamie Lee Curtis was fantastic in Everything Everywhere. I know people love to hate that movie, and I would've given it to Stephanie Hsu, but that's not Curtis's fault. She's fantastic.

@Madame_Robinska @AuthorGFAllen @TAR_Kirk @realevelyncross "I must confess I had them confused with Limp Bizkit"
And you thought I was saying something offensive about Linkin Park, Tyler?
English
@AuthorGFAllen @KyleLeeWriter @TAR_Kirk @realevelyncross I must confess I had them confused with Limp Bizkit, until you brought up "Papercut." I was more of The Offspring fan back in the day.

Currently active (so won't include my beloved Hou Hsiao-hsien or the Coen brothers as a team) directors I'd take over PTA:
Hayao Miyazaki
Martin Scorsese
Steven Spielberg
Richard Linklater
Guillermo del Toro
Alfonso Cuaron
David Fincher
Spike Lee
Damien Chazelle
Ryan Coogler

And probably others that I'm just blanking on right now. In case it wasn't obvious, I'm not a huge PTA fan.
English
Sidestepping PTA discourse to say here are ten currently active and in their prime directors I believe to be better:
Lav Diaz
Ryusuke Hamaguchi
Pedro Costa
Radu Jude
Lucrecia Martel
Lee Chang-dong
Mike Leigh
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Jia Zhangke
Andrey Zvyagintsev
Josh Parham@JRParham
The way some people (not everyone) are talking about Paul Thomas Anderson like he’s some middling talent that was just discovered yesterday and not one of the industry’s most respected and celebrated filmmakers who’s been making revered masterpieces for thirty years.

@TAR_Kirk @AuthorGFAllen @Madame_Robinska @realevelyncross Nah, if I never hear that song again it'll be too soon. I wouldn't say it's a terrible song, but it does nothing for me. Granted, that's more than Nickelback songs do for me, but still.
English
@KyleLeeWriter @AuthorGFAllen @Madame_Robinska @realevelyncross It's a radio. It plays multiple songs. Bookmark it. You'll thank me the next time you hit rock bottom listening to Nickelback and want to change it up.

@Wisteraverse Also, most US citizens have drank beer by the time they hit 18.
I had friends that had drank so much they'd given up drinking by that age.
English
An American beta-reader criticized my 18-year-old character drinking beer because they assumed it should not be allowed, despite it being high fantasy set in a fictional & historical world. Also drinking age (beer, wine) in Germany is 16.
Not every place is the US!🤦♀️
Ruby is editing 🦊🌙 🇨🇦@RubyMTemple
So apparently there’s a lot of knowledge I can use from being Canadian and setting my story in Alberta Canada that is gonna make me seem legit. For example, the drinking age here is 18, my FMC is 19 and is surprised that she can drink at the bar (my FMC is American)

@nacidodeproveta @cj_prin Shutter Island was 139 minutes, he hasn’t gone below two hours in 40 years he’s not gonna start now
English
If Scorsese's new movie is like 100 minutes long it'll freak everyone out
English
@GAltringham It's a good movie, but is overshadowed in its series by the first movie being great.

Ok Film X. I got another question for you.
Give me your brutally honest opinion on the film below. Whether you love it, hate it or just not too sure.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
Dir. Steven Spielberg

You can only save one. What’s your choice?

@KyleLeeWriter @TAR_Kirk @Madame_Robinska @realevelyncross Linkin Park too? Bruh… this hurts more than “Papercut” 👀😉

@StevenWallaby My favorite 3 movie runs in Academy history:
From Here to Eternity
On the Waterfront
Marty
Silence of the Lambs
Unforgiven
Schindler's List
English
Looking at the last three entries here and realizing that I haven't liked three winners in a row this much since Rocky/Annie Hall/The Deer Hunter in the 70s. Some absolute dogshit has to win next year because I really don't like feeling this confident in the academy's judgements
TylerCWhitmore@TylerCWhitmore
If the last 10 Best Picture winners were all nominated in the same year, who would get your vote?
English
6/10
It's one of the 5-10 most beautiful movies ever made, but narratively I find it a complete bore, with the only characters of any interest being Batty and Sebastian. I feel like Ridley Scott thought it was an action movie, but the action isn't very good. It's all ultimately less than the sum of its parts.
Sure is pretty though.
