I get that feeling all the time I watch any Hollywood film ever. Excluding Scorsese and Martin mcdonagh who nail
it everytime and can't be outdone
. But if only I had my way.

Have you sent in a script?

You should.

Send me 200 grand and send me off to a retreat. I believe I just might write the greatest3screenplay of all times featuring characters of all walks of life.. with epic twists and turns on top of twists and turns whereby the good and bad don't win in the end. It would be a bitter compromise for sure

I have a premise for a web TV series which I believe (based on my straightforward research) is original, and will be successful. The problem is I know close to nothing on moving forward.

Disregarding anything else I should pursue first, would it be advantageous to develop this first as a novel, or rather directly to a screenplay?

TV shows. Breaking Bad. Ozark

Two greatest of all times. Why I ask you.

Throw The wire in there for the sake of argument

Screenplay first

Someone just hacked me. I did not post that post above

Who hacked me and questioned that above??

Who is the hack and who is the real MacOneDouble? And is this the bug that gives the Simulation away?

Book first! If it’s puffy and pulpy Enough, then screen play.

Wrong! Keep it inside of your head! Failure sucks and if you don't try, you cannot fail!

A perfect quote for this thread (and for a Friday):



When men drink, then they are rich and successful and win lawsuits and are happy and help their friends.

Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something cleaver.

-Aristophanes

I have of late—but wherefore I know not—lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises, and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air—look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire—why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.

Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2

So why didn’t Hamlet just shoot himself?

He was a murderer too.

Didn't want to comment on the guns weren't invented.

Good for Hamlet.

And your second comment is incorrect. See below.

The play Hamlet was written ~1600. The first firearms in Europe were developed in later 1400- to 1500's starting with the matchlock.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheellock

From above link:

A*wheellock,*wheel-lock*or*wheel lock, is a friction-wheel mechanism to cause a spark for firing a*firearm. It was the next major development in firearms technology after the*matchlock*and the first self-igniting firearm. Its name is from its rotating steel wheel to provide ignition. Developed in Europe around 1500, it was used alongside the matchlock and was later superseded by the*snaplock*(1540s), the*snaphance*(1560s) and the*flintlock*(c. 1600).

$$$$$$$$$

The Germans were making excellent and reliable wheel-lock pistols in 1580. Very elegant hand guns and remarkably useful for killing people. Which is why I love guns. Killing people is useful and good and wise and should be done more often than currently employed.

Silly me! The play Hamlet may be set much early than I thought. I’m not certain when that hack Shakespeare, who always muddled things up, gave as a timeframe.

Hamlet's over-rated anyway and quoting it is for show-offs. King Lear is the GOAT, iyam, and don't bother asking bec it's the GOAT.

I suggest watching the Japanese version, 'RAN.'

I have no idea of whether I ever was in Hamlet.

Actually, I was quoting somebody quoting Hamlet.
