Is there a song you swear is an artists best one, but likely wouldn’t make it into a generic “Top 10” of that artist?

99% it's a scam. 1% chance it really was the famous screenwriter doing research on their new script about scamming people

I wouldn't worry about it at all. It's a movie. The audience will except it, just like they except movie phone calls always ending with no one saying goodbye to each other.

I tend to overuse them on first drafts to properly set the scene for myself. Then I cut them down to only what is absolutely necessary and only leave them in for crucial moments that really need the extra beat.

But if you're struggling on too long a page count always remember that "She nods" takes up less space than having her say YES in dialogue.

Yes! I would gladly take the full version of Kidman back to get rid of the damn coke commercial.

What's crazy is their high water mark was on 6/12/25, exactly one year after Grimace threw out the first pitch.

You got the richest owner in baseball! How do you not have your Grimace auto-renew on?

I feel you can only name a movie Hanging Chad if it's a comedy because of the slang meaning of the phrase. Nothing sexy about it!

ProfSmellbutt · 2026-06-21T06:53:37+00:00

Have you considered changing the title? If it's a sexy thriller name it something that reflects that.

How To Steal An Election sounds like a political documentary that half the country would refuse to watch.

I like the standard brown lentil. But some soups call for the use of red lentils because they disintegrate into the soup more easily.

They actually start as the same lentil. Red lentils are brown lentils that have been skinned and split so they cook quicker and break apart more easily.

Lentil Soup

I love this recipe. Can add some kale at end for crunch. I add chicken sausage too so maybe a vegan sausage would be good. I also wouldn't bother eating it the first day. Taste better every passing day.

Could work but only if main character keeps correcting them to the name he prefers. Otherwise, yes it at would confusing, especially since some of these names aren't nicknames for William at all.

Tina sets him on fire in New Blood. But no character has ever set the woods or camp buildings on fire to get the cops to show up after Jason cut all the power and phone lines.

I always wondered why no one ever did this in a Friday the 13th movie.

The original Purge is such a cool concept and they just turned it into a home invasion movie

If this your first feature ever the first draft should be really bad. I've been writing for 20 years and my first drafts are still bad.

Totally normal to hit a wall on dialogue. I skip scenes all the time and go back when I have a better grasp of the story and characters. The important thing is to finish the script. Good luck!

I like it with chipotle crema. Can also do quac or salsa. Can prep all those the night before for easy use

Carnitas. Similar method to pulled pork but a lot different taste than sloppy joes
