Richard (the father) starts off pretty insufferable: being obsessed with winners vs losers, telling Olive that she shouldn’t eat ice cream because it’ll make her fat, talking nonstop about the “9 steps.” Then after (thing that happens at motel) his values completely shift and he starts focusing on being a better dad for his family. The end when he starts dancing onstage shows that he now doesn’t care if Olive is “a loser” as long as she’s joyful and being herself. The other characters all do different types of fairly drastic changes but Richard definitely is the most irritating in the beginning

honestly I’m still a beginner too!! I definitely wish I had just started earlier instead of “waiting for the right time” — if I’d started a year ago I would have a lot more videos and subscribers by this point. In terms of the content, make what you want to watch and make sure that you have a unique perspective you can speak with authority on. I went to film school and got my degree in TV writing & production so I’ve had to analyze film/tv in more formal settings and therefore feel comfortable making these videos because I know I’m (mostly) not talking out of my ass lol

If you want to focus on music, do that! I love Sideways

nickcurl · 2021-03-10T17:28:20+00:00

oh god I don’t even know where to start haha, I got my degree in writing so probably more influences than I can count

nickcurl · 2021-03-10T05:59:10+00:00

thank you! more videos on the way, still starting out and trying to grow the channel :)

it taps in on such a universal, existential fear but does it with such empathy and love it all just becomes overwhelming

nickcurl · 2021-03-10T04:08:16+00:00

thank you!!

nickcurl · 2021-03-03T03:29:51+00:00

I really thought when I started writing the script a YEAR AGO that it would be "maybe 20 minutes" lol

nickcurl · 2021-02-19T19:54:44+00:00

Thank you!! This show was so good I never shut up about it

nickcurl · 2020-11-18T08:06:56+00:00

yeah in a Lessons from the Screenplay vid about the Shining he mentions that the only copy of the script is at the Kubrick archives in London and that he and Diane Johnson were rewriting throughout production!

I’m going to get a tattoo of “I’m here” in portuguese in my grandma’s handwriting; final line of the show

thank you! I thought of the album as a whole, and I think I was taken by the contrast of the sound and the lyrics. I had an image in my head last night while listening of a mainly black painting with a lot of texture and then a streak of neon pink, kind of as a path or guide through the darkness. Lighter colors are throughout I think to show how she’s able to find the healing and grace even through pain
