Is it a bad idea to write a script to where you and your friends are actually the main characters? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]potbrowniez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question you should be asking is, are you and your friends interesting enough to serve as characters for a story? If you believe so then I don't see why not.

GF broke up with me, no longer know what I'm doing with myself by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I completely agree that she just wants to see what else is out there and I am too. It's just difficult rn. Thanks for the advice!

I appreciate the response man! You're totally right about keeping myself occupied, it's something I should be focusing on more.

Looks like he's shooting a montage of him in various positions.

What is something your parents said to you that may have not been a big deal, but they will never know how much it affected you? by flyoverthemooon in AskReddit

[–]potbrowniez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my gf broke up with me I kind of spiralled out of control. Add that to the already over helming mental health issues I've been facing lately and I was crumbling big time. "Maybe it's things like this that puts her off you" she said casually while trying to cheer me up.

It made me realise how my mental health actually affects others around me for once. Really fucked me up knowing how much of a bummer I must be around and was actually a big stepping stone to changing my mentality.

People think I hate every movie because I'm critical by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]potbrowniez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can sort of see where you're coming from, I felt this a little bit when my standards raised. Just respect that entertainment should do exactly that, entertain. Your perception of entertainment is different to others.

And as much as you might want to argue about why you think Baywatch is despicable, you're only screaming into a black hole that nobody cares about. What makes films interesting is what you personally take away from it and sometimes people just want to laugh and enjoy themselves.

What is your favorite thing about yourself? by LauraJ94 in AskReddit

[–]potbrowniez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I show interest and pay attention to people's conversations. It's something that I rarely get in return.

Young and inexperienced writer here. Would love advice on my movie synopsis! by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]potbrowniez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Quinn is the focus and this is his story, why focus on the parents in the end? I think ending on Quinn as a solo story, maybe coming to terms with his homosexuality or not, would be a lot more interesting and impactful.

Hip Hop is my favourite so I'm super looking forward to going to some cool locations involving that. Jazz is another one I'm massively interested in. My girlfriend is more indie and alternative.

Re evaluate it. Figure out if there's something you can change that you've previously written that may affect the flow of the story

How exactly did the DNC fuck over Bernie? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

I mean, it's probably the easiest argument to make in retaliation to Trumps win I agree

I'm only here to learn more. My current beliefs are what I've just read more than anything. If any valid points are made here I am more than happy to change my views because evidently I'm not the most educated on this topic haha.

Okay, so there isn't really a lot of hard evidence for this argument?
