The sad thing about Jurassic Park is that the people in the movie didn’t get to hear the music playing in all the dinosaur scenes
Alan Grant was just standing in a field with his mouth open in total silence
If you met Alan Grant and were like “dah da DUM dah Dum dah da DUM da Dum” he’d have no idea what you were doing and it would be so sad
I guess the deaths were bad too

After a year of not writing much, wrote a feature in 3 weeks, and let me tell you how bad it is!
First of all, it’s stupid short! Like “upsettingly long pilot” short! Yet also paced wrong and meandery!
Everyone says what they’re feeling aloud at all times! Some side character have been embedded directly from a discount character store called PEEPLES R US!

My unpopular Disney California Adventure opinion is that I really miss the big train car with all the shops and the 1940s soundtrack in the original entry area and the caterpillar ride in a bug’s land.
The avengers area just looks like Vegas and I will never forgive them for changing Tower of Terror
The problem with that place was never the CA theme, it was that they half-assed and cheaped out on the theme! They could have doubled down on the CA stuff to make it cohesive but instead they took out 3/4ths of the California references and now it’s just odd.

Was it just my high school where you could buy carnations on Valentine’s Day and have them delivered to whoever during class and was this a plot by the principal to ensure 2/3rds of us felt fucking miserably unloved all day?
I then transferred to a school where if you were in fancy choir (I was) you spent the whole week being pimped out to the local community for $200 a gig as a singing telegram, of which you did not get any. No one who received us was ever happy.
One time we were sent to a woman who broke down sobbing, and when we reported this back to our choir leader he looked into it and found out she was a stalking victim and we were sent by her stalker! Yes! Gotta get that $200!

HARSH WRITING ADVICE:
Thinking of your friends as competition isn’t going to make you a better writer, because no matter what imaginary horse race you invent, you can only write what you write. So write it.
When I finished AFI, I was in a writers group with 6-7 guys. We stayed together almost a decade. They’re all staffed or selling features now. I know them intimately, know their work by heart. They’re good writers but none of us are honestly “better” or “worse.”
We had strengths and weaknesses as writers. The ones who were able to do assistant jobs got staffed first, and I think they’d agree they weren’t consistently the strongest in the group. The best scripts that we workshopped to death didn’t sell. It just doesn’t work like that.

Very strong 11 months into pandemic vibe
There’s so much going on here. First of all, getting your heart broken and using your cat’s to live is...a wacky Freaky Friday setup.
Many of us love and bond with our animals and no shame on that but if your cat is your sanity you probably should have a therapist that isn’t also the cat.
