:09:02
I mean, he's really
goddamn amazing at structure.
:09:05
- I have to go.
- All right. Adios, amigo.
:09:08
Finish that...
:09:13
Fuck!
:09:24
Okay, thank you, thank you.
:09:26
We have a long three days ahead.
:09:29
Years from now, you'll be at a posh
cocktail party congratulating yourself...
:09:33
...on how you spent a weekend with
an asshole from Hollywood for your art.
:09:39
- I am pathetic. I am a loser.
- So...
:09:42
...what is the substance of writing?
:09:45
I have failed. I am panicked.
I have sold out. I am worthless.
:09:48
L... What the fuck am I doing here?
:09:51
What the fuck am I doing here? Fuck!
:09:53
It is my weakness, my ultimate lack
of conviction that brings me here.
:09:57
Easy answers,
rules to shortcut yourself to success.
:10:00
And here I am because my jaunt
into the abyss brought me nothing.
:10:03
Well, isn't that just the risk one takes
for attempting something new?
:10:06
I should leave right now. I'll start over.
I need to face this project head-on...
:10:10
And God help you if you use
voice-over in your work, my friends.
:10:14
God help you.
It's flaccid, sloppy writing.
:10:18
Any idiot can write voice-over narration
to explain the thoughts of the character.
:10:22
Okay, that's it.
One hour for lunch.
:10:28
You cannot have a protagonist
without desire.
:10:31
It doesn't make any sense.
Any fucking sense.
:10:35
You follow? Good.
:10:38
Anyone else?
:10:45
What if a writer is attempting to create
a story where nothing much happens?
:10:49
Where people don't change,
they don't have any epiphanies.
:10:53
They struggle and are frustrated,
and nothing is resolved.
:10:56
More a reflection of the real world.
:10:59
The real world?
