Great channel, great podcast ! About Stallone and the Rocky "3 days urban legend", I saw him a few times say, when interviewed about that, that he wrote a full outline of the script in 3 days, then developed over a few months.

This is really good and substantive. The part about the goals was really great stuff and a unique tidbit, something I didn't get from other screewnwriting podcasts.

Great stuff about tension being the opposite of boredom--the only problem is how do you define boredom? It's a subjective matter. What bores you may interest me, also what you find boring may change with time. When I was a kid the film "My dinner with Andre" bored me, as an adult I find the film interesting. As a kid news shows bored me. They were just adults talking, now they are almost essential viewing. I guess there can be a general consensus about certain films being boring, but it's not an exact science which makes screenwriting so tricky and hard to pin down. You can say give me a movie that goes someplace, however at the same time, if the "Seinfeld" series proves anything is that you can still successfully entertain people with a show where people basically don't do anything really unusual, or go anywhere. I think in the right hands you can make a movie about a guy getting up and going back to sleep, and still make it interesting.

[@deanlett9683]

I sort of disagree when he says you never see most movies about people getting wealthy as a goal because almost, every heist movie like "Ocean's Eleven" , or con movie like "The sting" has people doing things to get paid, and not just as a diverting lesson because if they don't make the operation work pretty much everything in the story leads to one big failure. What I would like to see more of are movies that explore what life is like when you are wealthy and money is no longer an object because most movies are just about middle class people, or poor people trying to make it big. The lives of the wealthy is not very much on display.

we like stories because they help us escape reality, very simple:) stories are drugs

[@Zarrov]

Not really. When you go and study human psychology it turns out that stories are the way we learn and understand the world, it is how we solve prbolems in our life. Thats why all great, sucessful religions are essentially gatherings of stories.

[@TheRealOtakuEdits]

Anton Balint Maybe in the case of pure self indulgent stories but at that point it's basically the same as watching porn or reading smut.

[@appledough3843]

ACTUALLY I watch movie to learn new things and experience others points of views and not simply because I want to "escape" reality. If you want to escape reality then you need to go to the doctor.

[@writertao101]

Good podcast , however I am not a massive Tarantino fan, in fact Reservoir Dog's dialogue sucks... All the characters sound exactly the same including the cops. Three fuck words in the same sentence ain't that great... and talking about who the cop is for twenty minutes is boring. My movies will be better.

[@Doitforyoself]

99%? Geez.

"Without the writers, no one works." You could really make that argument about the cinematographers too. And editors. And financiers. And anybody. Don't undervalue the writer, but don't overvalue your significance either.

[@deanlett9683]

Nguyen please give me a break. These projects don't begin with other people they start with writers staring at that blank screen or blank paper. It's not overvaluing writers to say that--it's just the way it is.

[@serikaralbayev5979]

Writers are at the core of everything and key drivers.
