feels weird to be watching an Oscars where the host, the writers, maybe even everyone involved actually seem to love movies. and it's funny, they're not just taking tedious, mean-spirited potshots at movies for the entire runtime. pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying this

This is a piece from last year about those photos of Gene Hackman walking out of a gas station that caused a bit of a stir. It becomes so much more than that. A beautiful tribute to one of Hollywood’s legends. flaminghydra.com/gene-hackman...

With a two-hander, a big decision for your screenwriting is when they become a team/couple. - Rom-com template is often at the end. - Buddy movies before the third act. - Love stories before the midpoint. Do this, regardless of genre, and the rest of the structure simplifies. #scriptsky
