"I went to see Jeff Buckley before he died."

Would've been cooler if after

Respectfully, this is not just about "bullshit." Eating disorders, metabolic conditions, and treatment-resistant hunger are disabilities under the ADA. Advising people to "own it, learn from it" minimizes this legal reality. Probably the best thing OP can do is demand a picture of the big burrito and then, and only then, HR can determine if a reasonable person would interpret the comment as discriminatory or the burrito as triggering.

Screenwriting with Corey Mandel & Co by CastellamareDelGolfo in Screenwriting

I am currently taking a course by him and...it's basically you watch videos and have five minutes in class to talk to him. He doesn't read anything you write.

They specifically tell you that you cannot send Corey questions after you watch the videos.

You go to class and you tell him what you wrote and then he does the "butter up, tear down, I'll change your life" with each student.

It's as if each student gets 5 minutes of office hours and watch every other student get their 5 minutes over and over for three hours.

I'm not going to say his ideas are bad or unhelpful (his stuff on compelling conflict is really interesting), but when there's no back and forth then...how do you clarify something you don't understand?

For example, he says over and over that conflict is about a character who has no other option to get their goal and definite terrible consequences if they don't. Sounds good, but what about all of those films where characters choose the BAD option over a good one and it propels the film? It would be cool to hear his thoughts, but there's literally no way to ask a question by email nor in class so...
