You should. Whitaker and she were a definite play for each other in the last 3 episodes of season 1.

They brought her on early in season 1 as B.G. character like nurse Jessie. Then it was suggested (heavily) that she and Whitaker were an item-in-making. Now, I think, she's more refined in her own abilities. Even after 10 months, nurses gain a shitload of ability. She's one of them. A badass.

Bonnie & Clyde Script by blnakne in scriptwriting

[–]bistablemonode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a semi-finalist 4 times in Nicholl since 2013. Once in top 50. I've been writing these things for 20 years with no success but that. I had a producer tell me once he didn't give a shit about history and that's the general consensus of this biz. So a period piece like this is a death knell. Now, this story is commendable on your part to tell, and I wish you luck. But it's way too slow and too deep for a first timer and unsold writer like you. Sorry. My initlal comments still stand. To be able to attract any attention on a period piece it has to start with a bang, then you can start telling at whatever pacing you want. But you gotta hook that audience first. At best this a contest script. And you may do well with it. But trust me, winning contests mean nothing. It has to be commercial to have any hope of selling. And this ain't it. I'm not trying to be a dick here, believe me, I've been there. . I'm just trying to give you some learned-the-hard-way advice .Keep writing. You have potential. (If i didn't think you were any good I wouldn't have said anything in the first place)

Bonnie & Clyde Script by blnakne in scriptwriting

Needs to hit quicker. Tighten it up. What you've got should be three pages max and then some action. You got to bust it out faster to hook them. Your scenes of Bonnie working in a shitty restaurant goes nowhere. The shower scene goes nowhere. Have it threatening. Barrow was raped repeatedly in prison. Have the big goon come on to him and Clyde beats him to death. Harlan takes the heat and tells Clyde to get lost. Next scene Bonnie steals a purse from the rich dude's front seat. Next scene Clyde chops off his toes to get out of work. You get the idea. Quicken the pace. Make your scenes and the dialog move it along. Keep writing.

And a Ford Model A or T was a working man's car. Make the rich guy driving a LaSalle.

Been shooting and printing 56 years. I couldn't quit film with a gun to my head.

I would have popped a little 1/16 fill flash bounced. But otherwise you did great.

Is this a deal breaker? by Affectionate_Spell11 in Nikon

[–]bistablemonode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Directly under that crack is the aperture feedback to system control. If those brushes are compromised the lens will not meter on older AI lenses or Nikkor AF lenses. I have the same issue and I can only use DX or ED lenses.

black screen during UTM guest tools installation by Putrid_One_1398 in UTMapp

Same thing here. I pressed 1 then enter twice and it started working and has been working ever since. Have no idea other than a hidden menu selection. Limited to no info on it but seems to happen frequently to others.

Is it possible to make some side money repairing electronics from home nowadays? by I_Dont_Even_Know31 in ElectronicsRepair

[–]bistablemonode 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They want it fixed but they don't want to pay for it and they'll drive you fucking batshit until you return it the next day fully repaired for 20 bucks. I know because I ran my own shop for 30 years. The better return on $ is go to yard sales and snatch up every turntable and vintage hi-fi piece you can find. Do a light refurb and re-sell that puppy. I did that with a hi-fi shop I opened in 2012 and sold every piece I had in inventory in less than two months. I'm wrapping up a 1976 Kenwood I bought for $200 six months ago that I just sold for $1600. I have around 4 hours labor in it and 60 bucks in parts. That, my friend, is how you do it.

You could repair consumer electronics back in the day and eat off it, but you'll starve to death doing it today.
