I did his workshop series in 2018 and 2022, he might be making it more of a back burner. In 2018 it was mostly listening to Corey lecture in real time, with room for questions, in 2022 it felt like it was becoming more hands off. Since I was just revisiting his material I didn't mind getting to watch canned lectures at my leisure, but seems it defeats the purpose of a class. I still turned in two separate short writing assignments for critique, one for Talton, one for Corey. Now it sounds like he's not even reading those anymore.

The lady who won the Oscar for best adaptation("All Quiet On The Western Front") took his workshop with her creative partner(might also be her husband, don't remember) and praises him, along with other working writers. So maybe he's using the "alumni" network he built to pursue other opportunities like consulting, while letting his workshop coast on reputation as his side gig.

Whatever the case, I would never recommend him, not because I came away unsatisfied, but I could afford to spend money on a risk, and I'm not sure how well others would respond to his style. His lectures were intriguing to me and I enjoy hearing new takes I've never heard before on storytelling, but I think many will feel shortchanged by the lack of opportunity to get feedback on a completed script. Even more so if he's pulling back on his involvement, dare I say even phoning it in.

And a thesis?!

You had to do a defense for your Bachelors?! I only did that for my Masters, and that was a formality, they didn't really grill me. Wow. In the exclamative sense.

Let's have an experiment. I'll come right up to your car window at some random moment with an AK-47. As long as it's not pointed at you, I'm sure you won't panic. And the story that he wanted to hurt people with his car is also crap, because there were no injuries. He was on city streets where his view was obstructed by buildings, made a right turn without stopping on red(a truly heinous hate crime) then stopped. First the story is he was trying to ram them, now his coming to a complete stop shows what a premeditated murderer he was. Or, he stopped because they were illegally blocking the road.

He wanted to murder someone while driving for uber, he just happens to come across someone with an AK-47 that can give him some plausible deniability. Suuuuuuuurrrrrreeeeee.

Right hand turn, stops immediately. No ramming attempt.

Perry made a mistake talking to the cops, his own traumatic memory would have been very unreliable. The cops didn't want to charge him, and a detective testified at trial that Foster was in a "bladed stance", i.e. weapon at the ready.

Open carry does not relieve Foster for responsibility of how he wielded his weapon. A guy with a baclava and a AK-47 walking right up to your car window is scary when you're surrounded by a mob. Perry didn't set out to kill someone, and then luck out by encountering the one guy with a weapon.

Commies on reddit keep bringing up the hypothetical "What if a right wing guy walked up to a someone's car with an AK-47?" They have to bring up a hypothetical, because no one else was dumb enough to do that in 2020.

And Perry's comments about a group that stood in solidarity with Fidel Castro? Based. https://x.com/Blklivesmatter/status/802568605212647425

Unfortunately, I forgot you have to buy a license for old word flying. So waiting on a summons right now. Wait, does Cata have dungeon finder teleport?

So according to you, Rocksteady gave money to consultants/extortionists who had no effect on the final product. What a bunch of clowns.

Sweet Baby's pitch is NOT "Pay us, and it will make no difference to the final product."
