I just had to sit through the trailers for both 'Mandalorian & Grogu' and 'Reminders of Him'
One completely understands its genre & how to sell its premise to its intended audience
The other is a mess of images thrown together in the most uninteresting way. But hey, that baby Grogu is cute, right?

Today I feel like ranting about reader notes for screenplays. Sometimes they can be very helpful and sometimes they can be, 'there's a lot of exposition, insert flashbacks instead'

I've decided this is (might be) the year I finally (maybe) publish an original work
I just have to decide which one, where & when...
...and find the courage to share it somewhere along the way of deciding which one, where & when...
...So, yes, this might be, could be the year I do that

Wings of Desire unlocked a new part of my brain a few days ago. I can't stop thinking about this stunning film. It's meditative quality on storytelling, human experience, love...
A perfect film!

Golden eyes saw her but couldn’t understand, couldn’t quite believe. “You… saved… me…”
She breathed in the warrior woman’s words. The gratitude in them. So unlike the hate and anger rightfully cast at her, stones and swords, whenever she emerged from the Mourning Sea.

“Who are these people? D’you know?” Artie asks.
“No idea.” She glances over her shoulder, observing the snakes in their terrarium. From this angle, she can see that Casual Friday is sporting flip-flops. That certainly can’t be good for her.

Wish there was more of a contest going on for best picture right now but infinitely content to see Benicio del Toro getting recognized again after so many years of being snubbed. Let's hope it carries to the Oscars.

'Tis the season! So why not curl up with a short Pride & Prejudice fanfic set at Christmastime as Elizabeth and Darcy contend with having their families together for the holiday.

I don't think anyone has ever appreciated Benicio del Toro's face as much as Susanne Bier did in Things We Lost in the Fire.
Why was this man not in half a dozen romantic dramas or comedies? Hollywood failed us as a society.

Rewatching 2010's Wolfman was like unlocking a piece of myself I'd forgotten about.
While far from a perfect film, the chemistry between Benicio & Emily manages to rise above it. With all that potential simmering below the surface, I'm free falling into a new fandom era...
Sorry not sorry 😇

I love watching a bad-to-mediocre movie and seeking out the flashes of potential the filmmaker left unpursued, the more compelling storylines left underdeveloped.
It's like a puzzle, trying to figure out how a story might have been stronger if certain pieces had been rearranged.
