Monty Bennett @montrivell.bsky.social · 18/01/2025ERASERHEAD. Every time I see it’s from 1977, I just can’t believe it.

Monty Bennett @montrivell.bsky.social · 25/12/2024What always amazes me about HOME ALONE is that it’s pretty much void of slapstick humor in the first two acts and then BAM, Act III, all slapstick. No looking back. Is there any other movie that pulls this off?? #scriptsky #filmsky 0101

Monty Bennett @montrivell.bsky.social · 04/12/2024I do this with all description. Sometimes I’m not in a “descriptive” mood, but I’ve envisioned a whole scene of dialogue. So I literally write “description” as a placeholder and then write the dialogue. Days later, when I do feel descriptive, I Ctrl+F “description” and I’ve got a nice to-do list. 120

They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice! 22079777116140
