The opening title card from Fargo. THIS IS A TRUE STORY. The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

My Superman Letterboxd review: I don't know if these characters mean more to me if I realized, or if this movie is that good, but I walked out of the theater absolutely buzzing. I LOVED it. More movies about the power of kindness please.

Nothing’s wrong with streaming at all. Amazon is really nailing these thumbnails.
A thumbnail for Shaun of the Dead on Amazon Prime that definitely isn’t Shaun of the Dead.

You: A #screenwriter who needs notes on a #script before you submit it to a contest, managers, producers, etc.

“Brian T Arnold is one of those rare writers whose work truly lingers. Every script I’ve read from him reflects a careful understanding of character, emotional arc, and the fundamental power of theme. His stories aren’t just beautifully crafted; they reach for something honest, lasting, and deeply human. His work has stayed with me long after the last page, not just because it’s beautifully written, but because it feels universally true. I recommend him with absolute admiration and deep creative respect.” Alex Barnes Producer, Collective Pictures Brian is one of my favorite people to trade story notes with. He always brings such clear, thoughtful insight that makes the work better. The characters he writes are so grounded and real, even when they’re living in these unique, fully imagined worlds he creates. He just gets story, plain and simple. I always look forward to his feedback. Lauren Meyering Writer/Director, “Horsegirls” "I've been in a writer's group with Brian T. Arnold for over six years, and the notes and criticism he has provided me over that time have been invaluable in shaping my career, writing style, and outlook on the profession. You're in great hands, go and place an order!!" Jeff Bower Screenwriter & Playwright, “The Impossible Task of Today” “We love everything Brian writes. He tries so hard and honestly he could use the money.” Tim & Mary Alice Arnold Brian’s parents

My Letterboxd review of The Insider (1999). CBS's parent company weakly capitulating to powerful interests because they put their own wealth and status above the needs of the American people? Thank God that can't happen again!

Yuuuuuuuuuup.
Screengrab from the movie Superbad featuring Bill Hader and Seth Rogen as police officers. "When I was young and we were making films like Superbad, Sony bought the script, they hired a director, they believed in this movie. If that movie existed now, we would have to get the director and the entire cast attach beforehand." - Seth Rogen as quoted in Variety.
