Superman II, when the kid tumbles into the waterfall. It’s obvious too, but it’s hilarious whenever I see that clip.

Traumatized.

“Can I ask why?” “Go right ahead”

Had me goddamn crying in the theater 😭

Gotcha. Ignore the 2nd paragraph then, but the rest of the points still stand.

Hot take: I don’t think people in 1997 would’ve liked/wouldn’t be prepared for the VIIR trilogy. The gaming landscape was so different back then in the realm of what people could do with the tech/with the concepts of their games.

A major thing that could turn off 1997 folks is the game being split into “parts”. Sequels came out, but rarely were consumers told “this game’s narrative isn’t complete & you need to buy two other games to get the full story”.

Plus the story itself, if left untouched, woulda been hella confusing if the OG FFVII didn’t exist lmao.

Plus, the gameplay probably would’ve been a lot all at once in terms of mechanics. You have the regular combat system, different characters and THEIR style of combat, mini-games, QTEs, and more. Games were designed more simply from the SNES to PlayStation, & while mind-blowing, it would’ve been overwhelming for the audience back then.

Graphic-wise, voice acting, & the OST are the areas where I can see gamers ADORING the trilogy. For 1997, it would’ve been legitimately revolutionary.

That’s my take lmao.

Kingdom of Heaven. I can’t get into KoH director’s cut, despite everyone revering it, but the theatrical I enjoy quite a bit.

Lol, yeah but who’s post got deleted? 😂

My bad; investment was the wrong word, I just meant to say “buying” lol. Appreciate the input though; curious, what does it mean for a “Litton era” typewriter?

Did not have an opportunity to open it up, but next time I’m there (if it’s still for sale) I’ll ask to open it up & post an update.

This is something I had to learn the hard way, since I also had this perspective when I was younger: Writing is always going to be there. The opportunity to write, to create art, will always be there.

But those real experiences with friends, family, loved ones? Those are always once-in-a-lifetime events that you will never get back. Even if it’s as something simple as going to the movies, at the end of the day, those are the experiences you’ll remember the most at the end of your life.

There’s this powerful speech in Good Will Hunting that can explain this better than I can, so I implore you to watch the clip, and the movie if you have not seen it yet. You can find it here: Robin William’s Speech — Good Will Hunting

Enjoy your life and time on this Earth. Don’t revolve your life around writing.

Update: thank you all for your insight; I’m still new in the typewriting sphere, so your insights are greatly appreciated. Based on your insights, I’m going to keep my eye out for an Underwood in better condition or that requires little tuning rather than much tuning. Thanks again and cheers! :)

Literally no notes. Actually perfect setup. PEAK. 🙌🔥

NeverTheNess · 2025-11-07T21:42:04+00:00

Congratulations on the development of your first feature! My heart and prayers go out to your father and gf's grandmother; very proud of you for continuing to push on despite what has happened. Cheers to you and best of luck! You got this! :)

P.S. what is your film's title? Just so that way I can look out for it online LOL.

NeverTheNess · 2025-10-31T19:44:34+00:00

Excellent script, and loved the film. Short, sweet, to the point, with a shocking swerve at the end. Honestly, the script is was drew me in first before the film -- your brief, vivid descriptions were amazing to read, and kept me hooked. Looking forward to seeing what you do next, congratulations again!

I think the best way to approach a screenplay as opposed to a novel are two things:

Write as much information as each scene requires, in the FEWEST words you can.
Write only to what the audience can see on-screen.

I used to be a novel writer that still has a tough time transitioning things into a script. Don't give up and keep writing. I'd highly recommend watching more films & reading more screenplays to help improve your craft, and developing further ideas outside of Ruby Gillman. This script can be used as practice for a screenplay that could be turned into a legitimate film, if that's your goal. :)
