Uh...anyway...

Great podcast. I'm in the middle of writing a script right now, and this was very, very helpful.

Trust me, that's hardly a spoiler. I might as well have said, "Something really exciting happened!"

But if you do feel like I spoiled it for you, I sincerely apologize.

Redacted. I don't think it was really a spoiler, but better safe than sorry.

Like it would be the first film to be released without a plot in place.

You should all pretend to love this film, just to fuck with the Spider-Man fans among the listeners.

Which probably represents the exact problem with starting any sort of conversation with most theists.


You: Hey, this sweater is grey, but I paid for a red one.

Senile Grandma (smiling): Oh no, sonny, that's red.

You: No, this is definitely grey. I'd like my money back.

SG: You're being very silly. The sweater is red.

You: I'm looking at it right now. It's grey.

SG: It's definitely red. I don't want to have this conversation anymore. Please leave.


And there's nothing you can do because everyone thinks you're an asshole for haranguing a senile grandma.

Nah, I think this is just as long as it needs to be. Very nicely done.

The problem is doing an "explosion of imagination" that doesn't turn the movie into something like The Smurfs or, indeed, Home Alone.

Maybe change how it's delivered? Calvin was always one to talk philosophy in between throwing water balloons at Susie. Maybe make it about a very bright kid who desperately wants to be thought of as mature and is, unfortunately, held back by his immense imagination. Same story structure, of course.

You have to use the title that the last person gave you. You also have to give the next person a new title. You also have to use proper grammar.

It is the distant future. Apocalypse has obliterated nearly all human life. Conventional measurements of time no longer have any meaning. Time is now measured by how long it takes to cross a location.

Our story starts with a group of varied individuals: A biology professor with a secret past (Sean Penn), a a greengrocer with a secret past (Tim Roth), and a seven-year-old boy with a secret past (Zac Efron, with some makeup). We meet them the night after they finish crossing Alaska, when an evil doctor who goes only by McPkAnk and his evil gang kidnap the boy. Penn and Roth must put confront their secret pasts and work to get the boy back...before it's too late.

This might be something for DiF 3.0. Have a page that explains, in no uncertain terms, what the elements of a good movie are. It would be a great resource for people who are writing scripts (like I am), who need some great DiF advice but don't remember from which episode the best bits of advice came from. Heck, it could be something that I share with my writer friends that could introduce them to the show. Thoughts?

Great show, I really enjoyed it. I think it's important to make the point that, despite what the media says, there really isn't a magic formula that makes a popular web video. I've seen so many books and articles and videos that claim to know the secret of how to make a great YouTube video.

I never saw Jaws 2, and I don't plan to anytime soon. I don't think that any form that a sequel took could have worked. Yes, I just said in another thread that any idea can be good if well-executed, but hear me out. Here we have a film where the villain is a shark, and at the end of the movie the shark blows up. How do you make a sequel? The shark can't come back. Potentially, the way to up the stakes would be to have two sharks, but that stretches the magic bean of the original; that one giant shark could go crazy and start attacking a beach.

I wouldn't greenlight any of those based on those lines alone, but it's possible that the right director with the right team could pull those off.

Parts is actually okay, but it gets a bad rap because they did it on MST3K.
