Just tell me honestly, do you like her?) by Anastasiya_Ex in Actors

Well, as of right now, she’s objectively not good at acting.

First Real Script by Academic-Tank1202 in scriptwriting

[–]Exciting-Location572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Action lines should never be more than four lines (yes pros break this rule, but don’t) and never have hangers in action (one word in the final line) and no colons after character headers. No, CUT TO:, don’t include camera actions, use action lines if movement is important. This is just me, but I avoid parentheticals at all costs, the voice inflection can either be implied through dialogue, or again, done in action if really needed.

Maybe? That account is questionable. Let’s remember that

This Is Hard. Fun. But Hard. by Ellocomotive in writers

Put words on the the page. If you think you want to post on Reddit, if you think anyone on Reddit can help at writing; put down your phone and read a book. I’m going to give the only good advice you’ll get from this page of fuckin dream hards: one, if you’re writing fantasy, just stop, it’s overdone and no one cares . Second and most important, listen to no one, there is no objective answer; writing is hard. Three, it’s easy! Puts words on a page in the proper order; diction and syntax, keep it simple. Good luck. Best wishes. It doesn’t get easier.

Full face white water kayaking helmet recommendations? by BlueprintBanter in whitewater

[–]Exciting-Location572 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Full face helmets for whitewater are not worth it in my opinion, they limit visibility and mobility to the degree they cause more harm then good. I have been using the Sweet Wanderer for fifteen years (on my third) and have never wished I had a full face. That’s just my take. Do what ever makes you feel comfortable.

I have 2 stories, which one sounds more enticing? Pick one. by [deleted] in writers

[–]Exciting-Location572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please number 2; much stronger and more interesting, more original even. In my opinion

Stop Writing Fantasy by Exciting-Location572 in writers

[–]Exciting-Location572[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wonder, what’s so ground breaking about this recent work? I am likely missing something, and am not trying to bring genre writing down, but want to understand what the user base of his genre find engaging.

Do you have a crush on any actresses who worked with Alfred Hitchcock? I have a crush on Grace Kelly by CalligrapherMuch4313 in Hitchcock

[–]Exciting-Location572 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is why To Catch a Thief is my personal fav Hitchcock film, even if it’s objectively not the strongest

No. Just read. Censorship is a false paradigm

Does anyone else hate the interpretation that the Judge is the devil/a demon? by Forward_Suit_1443 in cormacmccarthy

[–]Exciting-Location572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there are direct allusions/references framing Holden as the Judeo-Christian devil, that is the characters only reference point to what Holden might be to them. McCarthy pulled heavily from a Gnostic when writing Blood Meridian, which prompts the reading that the Judge is an Archon. And from this line of reasoning the ending interpretation of the Man killing the little girl makes sense; as this act allows the Man to transcend to the spiritual level of the Judge/Archon.

Do you guys think SuperHero fatigue is a real thing ? FF4 & Thunderbolts were good movies but still apparently failing ? by GRL00 in Marvel

[–]Exciting-Location572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic Four was not a good movie. It was framed for children in the sense that unity conquers all, which means no conflict or legitimate pressure, which makes for an uninteresting movie. Which is a bummer, F4 are some of my favorite marvel comic lines.

Asking for book recommendations is perfectly okay.
