It most certainly has always been a Christmas movie. We watch it every Christmas.

QUESTION:
What's your number one feature film pick?
Doesn't matter if it was a commercial or critical success or not, as long as you think it exudes greatness, share it in the comments and I'll retweet.
Mine... GANGS OF NEW YORK.
Looks amazing.
My son is teaching guitar online to kids and beginners. If you'd like to learn or you have a child who would be interested, please DM or whatsapp. Details in the video. His rates are reasonable and he's a great teacher. Try a free lesson.
#Gravity... by John Mayer(youtu.be/_iGOWk-r614?...)
Plot and character are intimately and inseparably intertwined. Character drives plot, and plot challenges character. Plot isn't just narrative beats , in a larger sense, it's an overarching principle that holds everything together like magnetism.

Reading this brought a smile to my face Lauren. For a first pass it's great.
If you're stuck, DM. I edit for a low fee. I could probably get it 100 or 105 for you in 2-3 days.
Never heard of this before and just watched the trailer on youtube. All I can say is... wow. Must watch.
Wishing you the best with it.
Getting these Coverfly emails feels like a relative calling out to me from beyond the grave. #Scriptsky
I recall when I first studied screenwriting I had a woman in my class who was a TV station manager. She kept telling me I had no idea what I was doing because I worked in a hardware shop at the time. Years later, when I was running writing rooms she reached out to ask for a chance to write. Life...
That never worked on X. Does it work here?
Wow you're nearly there friend. Wishing you loads of creative energy.

Thanks for bringing this onto my timeline Mo. Hope you're well.
Let's go Beth! Title and word target please.
Me nervously checking #scriptsky for the politics I'm trying to leave behind on X...
Javier, how are you sir? I'm still waiting for DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE SEASON 2, and I'm not going to stop. One of the finest shows to grace our screens.
It's a shitstorm. Bring a tough umbrella if you're going to navigate the industry.
My current lived reality...

I'm my own worst enemy.

Nothing is real. It's all performance and simulation.
Maybe it's just a way of filtering. It feels longwinded and bureaucratic.
Really? Wow. And the reasoning?
Looking forward to this chat.
It's like he got between writers & Nicholl & negotiated something on his own behalf that now changes the system and affects all writers. I got to the entry forms & saw all that & just thought, screw it I won't even bother to enter. Explain how the change helps, benefits, or serves the writer?
Let's go Kim!
That's a ton of cuteness right there. It should never be used for evil.
Thank you, I'll tell her. I thought they were great too. I like the quirkiness and the fact that they're black and white.
