Ok here’s a mini-thread on Man Of Steel just cause I’m watching it tonight, plus Henry Cavil is back and James Gunn is running DC. #ZacksMovieClub 
Here are the 8 Sequences for Man Of Steel.
Sequence 1: The Destruction of Krypton. We get a high-genre scifi epic reintroducing us to Kal-El as an alien from another world. Fantastic performance from Russell Crowe setting the tone for the entire story.
My Cousin Vinny is a perfect movie. It’s a masterclass in comedy w/ Joe Pesci and OSCAR WINNER Marisa Tomei. Yet—it hasn’t had a recent BluRay release, it’s not taught in film school (s/o to Jeff Cox in Screenwriting II), it’s not streaming. Let’s talk about it. #ZacksMovieClub
Written/Produced by Dale Launer, directed by Jonathan Lynn, starring Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, and Mitchell Whitfield; with Fred Gwynne, Lane Smith, and Bruce McGill in hilarious support roles. The film is “a comedy of trial and errors,” literally.
Two things. One: I’m today years old that you can’t screenshot Amazon Prime or Apple TV. So thanks @IMDb for the photos. And B: I’m winging it here so if you like it, let me know! Comment in the thread with what’s working for you and we’ll do more #ZacksMovieClub. Ok here we go…
No joke, I teach this movie in my screenwriting class. Structurally it’s perfect. Every joke has a second shoe. All 8 sequences have clear breaks. How do you not cry at the end?
I appreciate all the love for A Knight’s Tale. Here’s a breakdown for all my writers that are structure nerds like me.
