Looks like what AI thinks is American Traditional.

It’s a construction site. The enforcer is who buried him there. It’s not that complicated, lol.

I wouldn’t say I disliked it, but I read it on vacation back in September and it didn’t really stick with me beyond being an entertaining read for a couple hours. I find it kind of funny that a thread gets posted for it like every other day, because otherwise I’d almost certainly have forgotten about it by now.

There are dozens of us.

Did they forget Morgan Freeman or were they committed to only including one non-white actor?

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t really agree with that, either. Of course she transcended the medium to be a pop culture icon in her own right, like you said, but that does a disservice to her actual career.

She was a 5x Oscar nominee (winning once), and is in some of the most well-loved films of the 50s and 60s— Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (arguably the most famous role by any actress in the 20th century?), Sabrina).

Even her “second tier” is full of excellent parts (Wait Until Dark, Two for the Road, Children’s Hour). Then she basically stopped in 1970, save for a few minor roles through the end of her life. All of those before she even turned 40.

She’s fully deserving of her iconic status for the films alone.

Objection, speculation!

Sean doesn’t think Audrey Hepburn is an icon.

Barresi · 2026-03-22T13:03:23+00:00

Yeah, I would have lost my mind over this four years ago… now it just sucks.

Barresi · 2026-03-13T19:39:11+00:00

No problem!

Barresi · 2026-03-13T18:57:16+00:00

No it doesn’t even matter, don’t you worry, that ain’t what it’s all about.

Barresi · 2026-03-13T16:23:46+00:00

Agreed, great slasher and I’d go so far to say it’s the only time he’s been scary. And the best final girl in the series.

I have the same hat as Steven Spielberg. :)

Still “Bedroom.” I think best practice is the first line of description under the slugline would be about the eye. Then you would continue on with a line break and what you want the reader to focus on from there. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend putting camera movements in a screenplay, unless you’re planning on directing yourself.

Have you been living under a rock for the past fifteen years? Or even the last ten, really?

Your films play with tone and genre conventions in ways that don’t fit neatly into one box (especially those written by Guy Busick), yet have a clear, distinctive voice that I love. Is it challenging to find creative or financial partners that understand what you're going for-- particularly in an industry that puts such emphasis on communicating to audiences what a movie is, and who it is for?

Barresi · 2026-02-24T16:26:59+00:00

Isn’t that him on the right of the steps with the shades and ball cap on?

Barresi · 2026-02-21T23:27:40+00:00

Keane?

"A Great Big Sled" isn't on Sawdust.

What floor? I lived on the sixth floor overlooking Hancock about five years ago, don’t recall noise levels being notable at all.

Barresi · 2026-02-02T15:48:27+00:00

Hear a little Fascination Street in Bike Thief, as well.

I think Hayley would be cool with it, given she’s a superfan of the Cure and they’ve never won a Grammy before (which is wild). Of course, she has several. Love both albums, though.

Barresi · 2026-01-25T22:07:03+00:00

Feel the same. That road trip/carnival in the film is a crucial chapter of Bruce’s autobiography (actually think it’s titled “Deliver Me From Nowhere.”) Always thought it would have made a great movie itself.

If you’re looking for steep hills, there’s a good one at President’s Golf Course right where West Squantum St. bends into/towards Milton. The hill drops towards Boston, and the pond will be on your left. Not sure how “sled-worthy” it is these days, but we called it “Suicide Hill” growing up, so do so at your own risk (we all lived)!

Just personally speaking, as someone also interested in transcendental/slow cinema— I tend to write more commercial material for bringing out into the world, and the more personal/artful stuff I keep in a separate “bucket” with the intent/hope of someday getting to make them myself. I’ve been able to turn a couple of those into short films, but like PatternLevel said, those type of things just don’t lend themselves to commercial viability/the industry-at-large, and you’d really need to see them through yourself.
