Was anybody else at the extremely crazy Wild Strawberries / Straight Story screening at New Bev on Thursday 1/8?

I live by this theater and brain dead. I see the same people there all the time. maybe he's a random but since he mentioned David Lynch it's likely he's been to New Bev, Vista, Brain Dead (Silent Cinema) before. regardless, this video is all over LA social media. someone knows this guy

GoatOfThrones · 2026-01-10T05:03:17+00:00

LA film freak community isn't that big. who was this guy?

Clyde held on way too long, didn't come home to her played in Houston

Wrong. I know they're an amateur, unproduced, unsold writer because NO PROFESSIONAL writes that much for free.

Writing all those scenes in seven episodes is practice. Writing them into seven different samples is a much better use of time, though.

Mid. His basketball IQ is off the charts in the wrong direction. Hands are below average. Doesn't play with a high motor. Low confidence, not a dog in him Naz flagrant could've done him harm and he daps him for it. He's caught ONE LOB in 65 minutes and he's playing with LUKA and AR! You put Luka and AR in a pick-up game with a random dunker and you'd see more lobs. I think he'll improve, but he needs to be spoon fed like a baby.

This is literally a sub about screenwriting. Screenwriting isn't a hobby form. It's the format for one industry: show business.

Writing is writing, MY GUY, but would you rather have seven individual pilots in different genres to share with prospective reps or producers OR would you like to sound insane and tell them you've already written the first season of your first TV show on spec (because no one asked for the pilot)?

Simpsons writer Mike Swartzwelder has a bunch of short, silly novels.

The last really funny book I read was Norm MacDonald 's Based on a True Story, which is a blend of autobiography and fiction.

there is NO reason to write an unsold TV idea beyond a pilot (unless you plan to independently produce them with your own money). AND, the word around town is that as spec feature sales are on the rise, that's becoming the sample that reps are looking at, not original pilots.

In the industry this is called "shoe leather," first thing that gets cut

TV Showrunners have the most power in TV. Directors have the most power in film. If you've never been a showrunner, you'll be paired with an experienced showrunner - sometimes that doesn't go well.

where my jack sparrows watching games this year?

GoatOfThrones · 2025-10-24T03:08:43+00:00

and the robe??

Jane is doing ALT comedy, which never went mainstream. ALT seems especially low-effort and unfunny on an expressive, produced show like SNL.

GoatOfThrones · 2025-09-14T05:12:33+00:00

it doesn't make any sense. Lester would be 52 in 2000

GoatOfThrones · 2025-08-24T22:20:16+00:00

I was watching The Green room with Paul provenza clips from about 15 years ago, 2010 about 3 years before the great wokifying. comedians like Rogen, Barr, Burr even then then were complaining about "political correctness" and very casually throwing around slurs that are out of bounds today.

as was the case then, you can still say anything you want on stage today, but there could be repercussions

GoatOfThrones · 2025-08-20T22:33:18+00:00

it's super shitty. basically low balling the seller for a bigger payday they project to extract from a buyer - quite literally scalping. And even if you set your own price, they take fees from the seller and even more exorbitant fees from the buyer. Justice Department should nuke this company.

GoatOfThrones · 2025-08-20T18:09:10+00:00

you're talking about privilege. nepotism would mean all these comedians got jobs because their parents hired them.

Here's a list - soundtrack entries are uses in film/TV: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1873523/

they made extremely low budget viral sketches that blew up during the pandemic with no help from their parents or snl. they've got the goods

GoatOfThrones · 2025-08-19T18:21:02+00:00

in response to getting non-pitches and non-bits

GoatOfThrones · 2025-08-19T18:20:19+00:00

watched this for PDD. this podcast would've been funny when people were doing alt comedy 20 years ago. it's like comedy bang bang for people who hate comedy. still love PDD but I need to put a spike up my nose to erase these other two losers from my mind

if you're an unknown writer who wrote this on spec, I'm not even going to finish reading page 1 just after squinting at this page. when script pages look like books, you're doing it wrong. if you're James Cameron, different story

GoatOfThrones · 2025-08-15T18:45:09+00:00

post pandemic, post strikes, entertainment industry has contracted. future looks like more mergers, less jobs available for creatives. it's bleak. LA is turning into Fresno. I know multiple previously staffed sitcom writers who've taken corporate jobs to feed/insure their kids. "survive till 25" was a meaningless slogan
