I've been using Scrivener for writing and organizing. But, ooof, when it comes to actually output (compile) something, I feel like I need a NASA consultant on standby. Still haven't figured it out.

Dude you keep takin' the hits from Netflix so we don't have to, and I for one am eternally grateful. Best quote - Which may make Luc Besson ask "What did I do wrong?" 😂 This does remind me of Citadel, which was.. ugh.

I thought it was fantastic. Got right to the guts of it (pun intended). And the look of Barlow was great. 🤘🏻

The biggest issue for the film is that it’s being compared to the one that came out in the 70’s? That version was legitimately scary with not the same level of special effects. Also cutting an hour off hurt some with character development and story telling. Just my thoughts on this. I liked this version but was not as Goff as the original

omg I actually watched this one! it was so great. so fun (that dance battle was FUCKING AMAZING). I'm pretty sure I shed a few tears? because, fuck it's hard being a female sometimes. My mother in law hated it. My Dad liked it - both of these responses surprised me.

Pacing: I wanted at least an other half hour for the story to breathe Casting: I enjoyed the cast, and didn't mind the sex or race changes at all Effects: while I appreciated that the effects were kept to a minimum, and mostly in-camera, what effects there were had a bit much of a heavy handed look. I don't need crosses to glow like Sting when goblins are about, or vampires to fly or be pushed away from them like by a strong wind. atmosphere: I loved the atmosphere when it was given time to exist. location change for the vampire killing scene: Though I appreciate the cleverness of it, I was not a fan. Keep it in the B&B where King had it, or in the Marstien cellar where Hooper had it. Overall better than the 2004 miniseries with Rob Lowe, even though that one was more faithful to the book, but still does not approach as good as the 1979 original miniseries to my pallet.

Every time you say 'what did you think' I want to hide LOL I think I would love this movie and I should definitely watch it! Sounds right up my alley

I suspect I'm going to watch this one on my own (or with Sam). Gary is the one in this marriage who almost never swears (car repairs, stubborn hot water heaters . . .). I'll show him the preview and see how it goes. :)

It's getting slammed, but I loved the 2024 film. IT'S NOT A MINISERIES!

Nice try but...nothing will ever be able to touch the original you fools! Because..YOU CAN DO NOTHING AGAINST THE MASTER 1979 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️🎃🎃🎃🎃🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘💯💯💯💯

I loved this movie.

I think... that I am going to have to watch this. Sounds awesome! I'd watch Olivia Coleman in anything though, she's pure gold.

You obviously watch so many more things than I do... so it's no surprise I haven't seen this one! It's interesting that it's rated so well considering your review of it. On the surface it definitely looks like the kind of show I SHOULD enjoy.

I think the movie would have been better with better writing. Pitt and Clooney are top notch actors but they weren’t given the best writing . They were stuck with subpar writing and you can tell they were trying to make the best with what they were given

It wasn’t Pitt and Clooney’s best but it wasn’t a 100% suck fest. It was okay

I like it , well like n loved everything u do fr iend of mine ..are u my friend ? .doesn't matter i am ...aha. P.s. loved the movie ...🎉 ..aha .

Not going to give money to two woke betas.

Disappointing indeed! I haven't watched it, and now I never will - shame they absolutely failed considering, as you said, these two have chemistry in general. I love that you watch so many movies so that I don't have to 🤣

Yeah, i didnt like this movie either!! Id like to rewatch to count their lines, but id rather not rewatch!!😬😬 Theyre onscreen for 90% of the movie, and it seemed like they didnt even say f you impressively!! Them being the same and doing the same thing for a living made it so they pretty much communicated with winks and nods after they got over the f yous!!😂😂 They kind of did that in oceans too, but at least we had more people and things they had to talk about!! This movie had one kid, and that was it pretty much!! I think this script was about 10-15 pages long!!😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Is this an issue with writing or screenplay?

It's so funny that I watched your review and yet the clips you played still make me want to watch it even knowing it's bad lol

Not sure why the algorithms haven't picked this up, but this video is the best I've found on youtube that details these softwares. Complete with humor.

good review, this moview or should i say franchise is a total trash lol those good reviews are so freaking hillarious lol calling it a masterpiece. At this point the synder brainwashed bots are going real low to worship their god lol unfortunately still didntt saved the trash that the franchise is nor zack's story telling skill lol

Humor took me out, I love it! Would love to hear your thoughts on Affinity Publisher

My favorite Uwe Boll Trash Adaptation was BloodRayne, a movie based on a game that I had actually played quite a lot of. Becuase, you know, sexy vampires and the 90's. It was so bad it was rumored Ben Kingsley asked to have his name stricken from the credits. I have no idea if that is true or not but it makes for great copy! Yeah I'll wait until this travesty is fully on some streamable media I already pay for before subjecting myself to it. Thanks for taking one for humanity!

Jones Amy Clark Margaret Robinson Thomas

Nicely done and very helpful.

Honestly I've never given this movie even a second glance past the trailers because I had all of the exact same preconceptions you mentioned. I gotta say you've given me incentive to give it a go for a Sunday night popcorn flick. I mean, who doesn't want to be sucker punched right in the fun?? (love that lol)

I still haven't seen this, but I've wanted to watch it ever since seeing the trailer! Now I want to watch it even more, damn you. Thankfully, my misbehaving brain means I'll forget any spoilers by the time I actually get around to it lol

Thanks for taking that Netflix bullet for the team.. but it DOES have J.K. Simmons in it who is one of my most favorite character actors ever, so I might still have to give it a go when I'm wholly out of other terrible things to watch (and I do watch a lot of terrible things lol - J/Lo in Titan anyone?)

On the topic of cheap tricks and world building, what's your take on an author proxy character? I'm referring to the side kick or guide or elder that joins the protagonist/party/cast who basically serves as the author's proxy to the reader, able to explain the world around them to the protagonist. It's a trope I'm reluctant to use but also one that I find stupidly effective - and see used a lot, especially in fantasy or sci-fi where the world needs building. Do any of your works rely on method? Thoughts?

It's too bad this movie is much like The Force Awakens as in The Force wicans now it's pretty much scoffed at. This movie has a beautiful look to it but it's not scary that Haley and monster itself is very weak and doesn't do much at all and the whole movie is a greatest hits with dialogue and scenes stolen from all the other movies including Prometheus. Just give us a true sequel to aliens and make it like top gun Maverick

Absolutely concur. Wasn't even chewy enough to be brain candy,

Brilliant! Great humor too. Super refreshing and helpful. Thanks! I am going with vellum.

Now I have more things to watch! These sound awesome, and I love your take on this - we should definitely be afraid of who is holding the leashes, and we know mega corps actually DGAF about us as people, it's all about profit.

"My most favorite cyberpunk movie next to.. well.. my other most favorite cyberpunk movies.." Brillaint! I watched The Creator last year and was blown away by the sheer scope, scale, and production value of this piece, and was appreciative of its subtext message - which is the amount of damage and harm a war inflicts on all those wrapped up in it. And it's often the innocents that pay the dearest. It's a message the resonates hard in today's geo-political climate. The other thing I think it touches is the question of what defines sentience. At what point does programming that acts like sentiency actually become sentient? A few years back Google fired an engineer because he had become convinced that company's AI chatbot had a soul and was sentient. I find this particular look at that question was as poignant and well written as just about any that I'd viewed.

Great overview! After I saw this movie I told everyone I know to stop what they were doing and go watch it. Besides a fantastic protagonist and well choreographed fight scenes I loved to see the franchise really returning to its roots. And when I recommended the movie to my daughter, the first thing she messaged me while watching it was "NOTHING HAD BETTER HAPPEN TO THE DOG!" :) Trachtenberg knows his audience.

I love Rebel Moon Directors Cuts. Amazing. 9/10. My issues are only with a few pacing and logical issues i guess you’d say? I don’t think an example of pacing is needed for you to understand my slight disappointment. I loved the pacing for the most part but sometimes(the fields for example) I think Zach could have trimmed it down just a tad. 1 example of the minor logical issues is the asian lady vs the spider woman. The logical issue is why the rest didn’t help when a child was at risk. Even though that bothered me a bit, i still understood what Zach was going for and I liked it overall despite my minor annoyance. And what Zach was going for is, this is this characters chance to prove to the team why shes useful. Knowing she was a great warrior by reputation alone, the team decided to watch instead of intervene believing shed succeed because they wanted to see her skills first hand. Thats why I like that scene overall even though I had a slight issue with them not helping, I understand in a relative and narrative sense why its necessary even though its not logical. Remember, movies are escapism. They often take liberties against was is known and believed to tell its narrative. I like how Snyder always challenges the norm. Thats why I’m a fan. Its understandable for viewers who only look at things logically to not like Snyders style. After all most people think relativity is real, fixed and logical. But it’s not. This is one example of course. Theres a few others im sure you guys know that I wont get into in this short review. To close this review, Rebel Moon is a daring two part film that challenges the norm and allows Snyder to go wild. I love this movie.

hi

I don't see why I should love action movies more or less than very deep characters/pitch movies... I simply love both. What is standing out for me, as a huge Rebel Moon fan-, is the lore. Of course I enjoyed having a Star Wars like movie for adults full of blood, gore and action and a simplist story for kids (sorry Star wars fans, I don't like that franchise at all). But the lore really got me. From the costumes to the Kalies (you know the slave ladies who operate as ship motors) there is just SO MUCH interesting stuff. Stuff we'll probably learn more along the way. And the more I watch Rebel Moon (yes severall times already), the more I think this lore deeply compelling. So yes the scenarion is thin. But that never stopped people to ruch to see Star Wars or -worse- any movies by Roland Emmerich that are just ridiculous. The character development? I didn't feel like something was missing; even knowing little we know enough to get empathy. And please don't forget the nice steampunk vibe, the great costumes or the amazing music composed by Tom Holkenborg. So, in my opinion of course, because we all have our own tastes, it's more than enjoyable. It's freaking good. Can I have a video called "Why you really like... Rebel Moon" now please? 😉

Great overview and I honestly think you're almost too generous lol. I love big action set pieces and even I cringed at the awful character development and story twlling. The problem is there's an entire franchise of movies with over-the-top action and memorable (if trite) characters in The Fast and Furious movies. Rebel Moon aint no Fast and Furious lol.

Who Cares, Because Rebel Moon is Still Awesome, Ya Hack!!! #RebelMoon #RestoreTheSnyderverse

It sounds like a good one! 'We're the real evil/monsters' is actually one of my fav themes ever, so I'll probably enjoy this. It's been an Age since I watched the first movies, and by the time I get around to watching this I will have forgotten any spoilers (thank you, mushy brain! lol). I'll add Prey to my list as well because that looks fun. Youngest is a big horror fan, might be time to introduce her to SF horror?

Started watching this but stopped, because I'm waiting for it to come to the small screen before I watch, though I'm definitely interested, and didn't want to possibly spoil. But I will say of what I saw so far, best production value of the vids so far. You're definitely ramping up the quality - nicely done. And 100% agreed.. I've seen *all* th Alien movies including all of the AvP movies, and for my money, there have been only 2 true entries to the franchise before this one, lol.

Great points! Appreciated the insights on what made Alien and Aliens great, definitely learned something

You know I'm a diehard 4thewords fan! They JUST changed their subscription model, which means there is a free option now though it's very restricted compared to the paid tiers. They have us heaps of warning about increased prices and are always so communicative with their community - made sure we had lots of time to convert crystals into subscription time before the changeover too, which means I have approx 3 years paid for in advance now 🤣 As a non-Mac user, I'm so grateful to Atticus and the team there as well, always bringing out new content and helping make books even better. There are so many great options around these days!

Great clarity piece on the differences between the two. I'd also say it's a fair characterization of the differences between plotters and panters. Plotters have the outline written down from A to Z before they've put a single word of the story down. Panters have this incredible story bursting in their head they're dying to get down on paper without even a vaguest idea of how to get to the end or even where the end is.

Aww, yes. Love this. Story IS what makes life worth living! And this might explain why I hate plotting...it misses so many of the elements I love about books.

Long time no see, good sir!

Good overview, and as a person that primarily uses MidJourney, some definite food for thought there on the alternative models. I've never even heard of flux, so now I have something to go try. You're a hella lot more knowledgeable on these models than I am, so I'd be curious to hear your take on Google's just released text-to-image model Imagen 3 (you can find it at Google deepmind).
