I love it when a movie leaves me with questions and makes me think. I think you nailed why I’m not diggin a lot of these new big blockbusters, nothing is left to my imagination. It’s all spelled out.

Yup. There is a popular IP I worked on and it bombed because the studio demanded we changed things based upon the test screenings. We KNEW it was gonna ruin it. And. It did and I will forever be sad.

On the Q and A Pod with Jeff Goldsmith, Mangold had a great convo on Logan and his writing. Interesting history he’s had in the industry

this is why I hate screenwriting contests, it's luck of the draw that you get a reader that understands nuance and metaphor, when most don't.

Man … anyone in VFX… Will back this director up against test screenings 😩😩😩 This same situation happens with highly unfinished fx and visuals… Someone says “I didn’t like the cg here” and instead of answering its a work in progress the studio is like “WELP WE’RE GONNA START THE VFX OF THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE FROM SCRATCH NOW!”

I’m still mad that they ruined I am Legend after test audiences didn’t like “the bad guys winning” at the end.

Commenting so I remember to stitch this to add why this has also contributed to the dissolve of critical analysis.

Hmmm…I find this a little depressing. I definitely write with less in mind. Maybe even to a fault. But I love subtly. 😌

this reminds me of a scene in alien romulus that i still think about: it’s this look between isabela merced and spike fearn’s characters where nothing is said but everything is said

Nobody Wants This surprisingly managed to express A LOT through the look, so there’s hope 😁

I love in Drive how they mainly just look at each other.

That character in blockbusters who’s job it is to say ‘so what you’re saying is *insert dumbed down summary here*’

It sounds like he didn’t like the Indy 5 experience 😅. Maybe it was Knight and Day or The Wolverine. He surprisingly didn’t get notes on Logan.

This goes right along with all the media literacy discussions happening on this app, like from @Tell The Bees for example. From politics to art- it’s worrying

100% accurate. I usually add the shitty dialogue in the shooting script knowing we’ll cut it out for the first preview. If we get “the note”, at least we already have it in the can. Ridiculous.
