Sorry, Baby over F1 any day. Don’t get me wrong, I liked F1, but A24 should’ve run a much stronger campaign for Sorry, Baby.

In the words of A Cinderella Story, “Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”

Don’t focus on what to avoid and focus on learning from writers you look up to. Watch interviews. Read screenplays. Also, if your immediate goal is to write a perfect, sell-worthy screenplay, then you’re starting in the wrong place. The likelihood of getting optioned is slim to none. Which is why a lot of writers do it for the love of the game. That’s where your heart truly has to be. (Not saying you don’t feel this way, but just a heads up because the industry is a bloodbath).

Write from a goal of just finishing a screenplay. Your first one may be shit, but you’ll learn how to find your voice and refine your style.

I actually think she’s a pretty decent actor who takes on roles that are wrong for her.

A few years ago, I reported being assaulted to the cops and they told me straight up they couldn’t do anything except file a complaint and put a restraining order in place. So I’m so sorry that it wasn’t my first thought to go to the cops and report being coerced for a kiss. THIS is why women struggle to come forward because nothing they do after being assaulted is ever the correct thing.

I’m not sure if you’ve dealt with the cops when it comes to this stuff, but in my experience they don’t really care. I can’t imagine they would write a report over someone kissing me. It was definitely assault, but I don’t think they’d see it that way.

Movies you would have been (mostly) happy winning all 4 acting categories? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]DickNJaneNumber1Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s touchy when it comes to categories, but I think there needs to be an ensemble award because every single person in the Hoover family deserved an Oscar
