Enjoying them as a case study of screenwriting. The first one is great! Still holds up for me. Part 2 and 3 are ok, honestly didn’t remember much from them and I understand why, just not as enjoyable as the first one.

Been watching the Karate Kid films gearing up for the show. The sequels have some interesting and questionable writing choices, but hopefully the show redeems these faults and maybe add or builds on them.

*twilight zone type of narrator/storyteller…

Forsure, I’m working with a twilight zone type of character, but still using the storyteller concept.

Princess bride might be one I will have to check out again and study. Thanks!

I do this all the time, especially whenever I feel like a movie is doing it right. Great exercise!

I wonder if this would be something to look at during the outline? Seeing where certain beats need to be for your genre and seeing where these characters might play into them? At least this is how I would go about it for a short 15 page script.

I bet this is a good read. Really enjoyed the film.

What movie is this?

Great choice! The Thin Red Line would have to be my pick, the soundtrack is great!

Have you seen Promising Young Women? It was a good movie! Also, there’s a book titled This Girl’s a Killer with a similar premise. Might be worth checking out.
Best of luck on writing!

Worst part is there were so much more in an earlier draft, and yes I had sent it to an ex professor of mine. Oof
