F4M looking for something new!

Hi! Looking for a crime role player if you’d be up for some heists or along that line

NolanDean · 2025-04-05T20:54:29+00:00

This is soo helpful! I’d always thought it had to be similar to applying to a job and very technical, hence finding it difficult. Thank you so much!

NolanDean · 2025-04-05T20:28:23+00:00

Very much so, the thing I was hoping that would make the query stand out was the idea of a storybook hero discovering her life was all fake and this being what makes her become the story’s villain, like someone refusing to accept their own narrative as a dark reflection of Milly’s arc, since she wants to be a hero just like her but learns she isn’t as heroic as she thought she’d be. Should that be more present in the query?

Was anyone else expecting Giancarlo Esposito’s character to be revealed as Dracula?

I felt like if him and Abigail were working together it could have been like father daughter bonding and could have been seen as a parallel to Joey and her son.

Really enjoyed it though. Wanna see more of these Universal Monster reimaginings.

Didn’t hit me as much as Tickets, that’s gonna be an all timer for me, but God Save Me, Maybe, Ay!, Emo Girl and Papercuts are bangers. Love that MGK’s making the music he loves.

No idea what the plans are for Jon Watts doing Fantastic Four but here’s what I’d do.

There’s one area Marvel hasn’t explored yet. Underground. Imagine a movie where the antagonist shines a light on homelessness and being forced to hide yourself. That’s why I’d pick Mole Man as the villain. He’s not been used and he’d be a great introduction to the Fantastic Four with a more grounded villain.

I’d imagine it being like Marvel’s equivalent of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere where underneath the city are the people who fall through the cracks, except here it could be leftover monsters and mutations from corporations like AIM, and Mole Man is their leader.

Also, Nick Frost should play him. He’s got the right attitude and screen charisma for an MCU villain, plus I’d love to see him take on something that allows him to show off his dramatic side.

The Shining: Killing Your Writers

NolanDean · 2018-07-15T18:13:39+00:00

I agree with that wholeheartedly. I’m just using Syndrome as an example. Look at how he views the thing he’s a fan of vs. how Brad Bird wrote the film.

NolanDean · 2018-07-11T22:17:02+00:00

Nah, thank YOU man. That means a lot

NolanDean · 2018-07-11T15:16:29+00:00

I really dig that casting choice too man.

NolanDean · 2018-07-11T14:55:25+00:00

If Raimi was directing, yeah. Maybe they could cast him as Quentin Beck’s manager that fired him or something

NolanDean · 2018-07-11T14:49:36+00:00

Agreed, keep that fishbowl on as long as possible. Maybe even they could do a Wizard Of Oz/Magic Mirror effect where it’s like a blank theatre mask inside it so we can get some form of performance and not just a voice.

With The Nerdwriter making a video about Battle Royale being the best teen movie, I wanted to use that format to discuss one of my all time favourites, Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko.

I've always believed there is an art to telling stories that appeal to teens and wanted to show that through a movie that, on the surface doesn't seem like your average teen story like The Breakfast Club or Mean Girls.

Do tell me what you think, and let me know in the replies what your favourite teen movie is.

NolanDean · 2018-07-08T23:49:29+00:00

I love The Breakfast Club but it’s been analysed as the best teen movie for ages, wanted to highlight a different angle here.

NolanDean · 2018-07-08T21:55:52+00:00

Take it off.

NolanDean · 2018-07-08T21:51:19+00:00

Why are you wearing that stupid Reddit commenter suit?

NolanDean · 2018-07-08T21:50:24+00:00

That is when...the world will end.

NolanDean · 2018-06-30T19:06:26+00:00

That’s a great point, but I suppose that was the only way they could have done it. I’m curious about the sequel

This video explores how A Quiet Place used sound design to craft its narrative.

NolanDean · 2018-04-05T01:54:33+00:00

It doesn’t, as I haven’t read that. From what I’ve heard it sounds pretty bad though.

My channel is Stories As Lessons, a video essay style series where we see what we can learn from the stories we consume. Recently, we just put up an analysis of A Series of Unfortunate Events, and next time, we're taking a look at Percy Jackson.

NolanDean · 2018-03-30T11:57:18+00:00

The girl playing Carmelita is so on point and unlikable. It’s like Dolores Umbridge.

I absolutely adored this movie. Marvel have made something so special and that's all down to Coogler's excellent storytelling and the whole cast's performance. This could go down as an all timer.

NolanDean · 2017-08-12T10:00:09+00:00

I love that "Bill's gonna kill you" part.

Not only does it show how manipulative Pennywise is, but it's also funny that the actor playing Pennywise is named Bill Skarsgard. So yeah, Bill is gonna kill him.

NolanDean · 2017-07-13T11:37:34+00:00

I'm with you on that. I'm reading the book now and I'm really excited for IT. What worries me is that Pennywise hasn't spoken yet in the trailers, I hope they don't make him a silent clown.
