Don't forget that weird period in the mid 2000s where Zoey Deschanel was guaranteed to break down their door and force them to "enjoy the world".
oh god no
bahahahahaha
I like to imagine mid00s screenwriters typing about Zooey Deschanel coming in, stopping and staring at their door, then getting back to work with a sigh.

"Jane was a womab" That line always did bring me to tears, the struggling writer ended up making such a moving book 😔😔😔
That line was Shakespearean level right there
“Jane was buying celery, he was buying rosé.”
Genuinely thought he was going to write 'Jane was a wombat'.
Why are you everywhere, rantaro?
Womab 😔🤠
I love the ratio of typing sounds to words appearing on the screen.
Yes! Perfectly said! It's one of my pet peeves in movies haha!
Also, up until now I didn't know why it bugged me so thanks for

I was looking for this comment
That was my favourite part.
It was annoying lol
The landlords always a new Yorker💀
If you need sleaze, nothing beats New York sleaze. Me ...an actual New Yorker living in Spain hired by a multinational to shake down debtors.
They don't call it Jew York for nothing. They don't really do much other than finances and real estate.
Or in the case of Spider-Man, any random Eastern European country. “RENT!”
Give me rent
They got ears like a cat, and eyes like a rodent
The “I like you” I swear is in every single movie ever written.

I almost missed that. Brilliant.
what if it's cause he printed it out?
LMAOOO
@@bwingbwinggwiyomi I don’t think it’s that deep and he had nothing written
As someone who's writing a very long and detailed story, I sometimes do write my ideas on paper instead of doing it all in the document because it makes things easier for me and give my eyes few second breaks from the screen. But I don't know, I don't say this for every writer out there, everyone is different. Just wanted to say that I sometimes do that and it's not all weird.
Or alternitivly, they write "their masterpiece" but it's turned down by every publisher, until they take a chance and call Jane from the bar only to find out her farther is a big time publiser and is willing to take a chance - fast forward and the fame gets to his head until Jane shows him how much of a prick he's being, then at the end, he talks about how sucsess isn't everything and how he misses the good old days when he lived in borderline poverty and was misrable

With the landlord saying “I like you,” you forgot to add him slapping Philip’s shoulder and sighing
So true bro AHAHA
okay but the pleasing fast typing noises while only putting a sentence on the screen so the audience can read and keep up is so accurate omg

Yet they can still afford to get drunk at the bar, which is at least £40.
And have a massive apartment in central New York.
And a dog that makes funny inquisitive head tilts while he is struggling to come up with ideas oh and when Jane from the bar suggests a weekend trip to some expensive place a 1000 miles away they somehow can afford that too
Always confused me as a kid how they get piss drunk and the bartender just let's them leave with some well wishes without paying
You feckers get drunk at a bar!?
Not with his good looks it doesnt
Plot twist.
Turns out, Jane from the bar is also a writer, and also experiencing writer's block.

Then half way through the movie Jane quotes a line from one of his other books and he says, “you’ve read my works?” and with a coy inflection she replies, “I’ve read a page or two”
To think Jane bought the book to only read two pages 😂 maybe she just researched him and looked up nice quotes from the book to earn brownie points
Lol of course!
A coy inflection 💀 Jane really brought out the big guns
"I've read some lines." like two.
You mean the single line written 💀
Jane was a womab...oh my god. This brought tears to my eyes. It’s such a shame how in this day and age, we don’t get this type of writer any more; ones that know how to reach your very soul with their creative words, ones that will remain in your heart forever. Words that will encourage you to inspire others. Keep up the good work. And thank you for bringing a tear to my eye.
Ok

"What, giving this female character thoughts, motivations and a life outside of the male main character? What do you think this is, a movie about the suffagrettes? She gets 2 lines and a sex scene. "
The landlord has no interests or personality beyond existing to make the non-landlord main character have to pay rent and introduce more tension.
What's your point?
@@telephonebear21 idk what point YOU’RE trying to make. both bad things lmao

And the landlord has early onset dementia so constantly forgets he already pestered the tenant for the rent.

Love that the landlord is automatically from from New Jersey.
It's missing the picture of his ex-wife on his desk, reminding him of what he lost because of alcoholism
Gods yes! I knew that desk seemed barren.

This was perfect, the typing sound and frequency was so in sync with the typing and laptop
That was a revolutionary plot twist that changed the story. I can’t believe Jane was a womab.
Was a typo, no worries Jane's a Wombat
@@nativeafroeurasian Wombat rhymes with Combat, so you better not rhyme in front of her.

It was a typo, but it ended up being the story’s big plot twist. Jane was a womab *disguised* as a woman!
She was the greatest womab he knew
All that's missing is the empty coffee mugs, him wearing a white t-shirt or vest, and for events in the third act to inspire the ending of the book.
i love d unnessary button mashing to write 5 letters
Womabs are severely underrepresented in our society. I’m glad he’s shedding more light about womabs.

Don't forget the original story he wrote that made him famous. It Looms over his work like an unloving step father. Everything he writes pales in comparison, and he despises any fan that dare speaks its name.
But suddenly the love interest has read those books but she doesn't know he's the writer and that motivates him or smth
🤣🤣🤣🤣

When he's done with the story and shows it to the rich guy, he loves it and then he makes him rich and famous. Then Jane will complain about how he "changed" and he's different because he suddenly got rich. So he completely ditches his successful job to be with Jane. The end.

The worst part is the pens are all facing tip up in that cup. Now none of them will work right away.
The day I learned this I felt very stupid, because it's obvious in hindsight!
True, but also only for ballpoint. Felt tip and fountain pens you do store with the nibs facing up!
I bought a fabric marker that they had kept nib up for who knows how long. It didn't work. The nib was like sandpaper.
Worst buyer's remorse ever.
@@AlextheENTP I feel you, buyers remorse is the worst part of buying. Most stores display them on their sides for that reason, bc pens can be left for weeks without being bought, and putting them nib up/down is risky if they're not being used regularly. Otherwise you get ink pooling at the nib or no ink at all.
@@zzyzxzzyzx Well, thankfully I've been able to counter my buyer's remorse! I stored the pen nib-down and semi forgot about it for two weeks. When I remembered to check, the nib was full of ink and it's working. (Still annoying that they stored it like that, but I'm so glad my money wasn't wasted.)
