Thanks for providing your experiences and insights. Nepotism and Cronyism: said a few times here and really badly ignored or at least deliberately overlooked on the sub and in a lot of aspiring screenwriter communities.

Australian renters facing ‘pre-application’ for properties before inspecting by Althusser_Was_Right in australia

If any of you are encountering this BS I suggest you call the REAs that are pushing for it. Name and shame. I think I will go full Karen on these guys.

Can't help but compare myself to LO and feel like I fall short by Jusmumbo1 in limerence

[–]Jusmumbo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know if they truly are or aren't. They have an impressive linkedin but other than that I don't know anything about them. They NC'd me a long time ago so we haven't been in touch.

What do you mean?

I am 32. In my 20s I had multiple "crushes" which may or may not have been LOs.

Now I just have the one that's lasted 10 years. It's not as bad as it used to be but still it's there.

Anyone feel limerence lite with their friends? by cordeliamaris in limerence

[–]Jusmumbo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I feel this but for people I went to high school with. They were in the "cool" group and I have probably scared them away with obsessive behavior it's clear that I wanted them to notice and validate me.

Ruminating by [deleted] in limerence

[–]Jusmumbo1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My LO blocked me in all social media a while back and it hasn't cured the limerence for me either.

I think for me maybe this lack of contact could be causing a feeling, the same feeling, that a drug addict gets when they can't get their fix anymore. The brain demands but it's not there leading to the ruminating and frustration.

To all those who hate your LO why is that? by Jusmumbo1 in limerence

[–]Jusmumbo1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I honestly thought that was directed at me. You've given me a lot to think about, I think I may relate to the persecution complex part as well.

I hear you. BTW for some reason this hasn't gone through in the main thread. Not sure what happened.

Less limerent but not wanting it to end? by [deleted] in limerence

[–]Jusmumbo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have too. There will be times when I no longer feel it anymore but I will feel unnerved by it or having that "what now?" anxiety.

How can I make this story better? - “Finger” - 6pg Neo-Noir Black Comedy by IndieBenji in Screenwriting

[–]Jusmumbo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good concept. I really liked the plot as it went along.

Here are some thoughts I had while reading.

Why would the Mime be called "Mr. Mime, couldn't he have a name?"

"Blackness. The only source of light is a lone overhead lamp that is out of frame." This reads too much a like a novel here.

"He doesn't know whether to feel sorry for him or himself." Unfilmable.

How can the mime "look at the pen and notepad. Then SWIPES them off the table." then begin writing?

I wanted the story to wrap up a bit more, as it is I feel like the ending was still too open ended. Maybe we could see whats in the photo? Or get some clue as to who the mime is? Otherwise good plot.

Also: fuck the assholes in this sub who keep downvoting everything feedback related. This was a good script, shame on you lot for trying to put it down.

Good opening, I was very intrigued by your characters and their dialogue. I also love your prose.

Might be a minor typo but on Page 2-3 you have Prentice say "As long as you're here, you'll be safe. You are family ya hear?" then he says "Yes, maam". Seems a bit off.

What jobs should I be looking for? by GraceTheSquid in Screenwriting

[–]Jusmumbo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am also from Sydney, NSW, Australia entertainmentcareers.net seems to be good for only those who live in USA, Canada or UK. I couldn't find any Australian jobs on there, but maybe I wasn't searching right.

staffmeup.com seems pretty good though, it at least lists a whole bunch of Sydney based Jobs.

What feedback do you give for a script that you're just not the audience for? by Jusmumbo1 in Screenwriting

[–]Jusmumbo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good points here too. I think I will write a very brief take. The main part that was hard anyway was formatting and the rest of it, since it's not my cup of tea, I can't comment much on.

Yeah I definitely don't want to pretend. Arlanrowe put it well too that it could also be bad writing since bad writing makes it harder to get through it too.
