STS Ch-76 & 77
“Do you think he’ll get it right this time?” Al Pacino just shrugged, for he had no answer to that question. “This is the toughest scene for his character, so it’ll take time before he fully gets there. We just need some patience, and I’m sure he’ll nail it in a few more takes.” Robert Zemeckis nodded in agreement and walked back behind the camera. As much as Al preferred working with a director like Bob, who was open-minded enough to accept suggestions, it was sometimes tiring to…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Thank you for coming here to see me,” I said, shaking hands with the man in front of me. John Landis gave me a nod. “It’s okay. I’ll do anything for my film. It’s my baby.” There was something in the way he said it that made me feel a little uncomfortable in his presence. Nonetheless, I indicated for him to take a seat on the couch opposite me. “So,” I began after a few moments of silence, “Why do I have a feeling that you came here not just to discuss the script with…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Hey, is it okay if I invite Silvie over?” I asked, loosening my tie as Al and I walked inside the house. He opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of beer. “Which one is she?” I grinned. “She’s the one with the brown hair… and that rack.” I motioned at my pecs to indicate the most distinguishing feature of hers. Al gave me a judging look for all of two seconds before shaking his head. “No.” “What do you mean, no?” I asked, my demeanor shifting slightly from happy to…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“I certainly didn’t expect to be reshooting scenes for this movie right now, especially after you’ve sold it,” Julie commented idly as the crew around us finished preparing for the reshoots. The crew this time was a professional one, the same one that would be shooting in just a few days. As much as I wanted to shoot this myself and use the Harvard student crew, I couldn’t. I simply didn’t have the time to spare. As good as the film had turned out, it had taken numerous mistakes and retakes…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“If there’s one thing I hope you take away from today’s lesson, it’s that there are no painless solutions in this world, only trade-offs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either campaigning for elections… or hasn’t done the assigned reading, as you’re about to do this weekend.” I couldn’t stop the amused snort that escaped me, and half the students were in the same boat. It helped that our professor was one of the coolest on campus. “See you all next week.” Everyone seemed…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Noah, sit on the hood of the car and give me that high-fashion look, like all this doesn’t matter to you at all.” I slid onto the hood of the Porsche 911 and got comfortable. Thanks to years of modelling, this felt right in my comfort zone. I looked toward the camera, but slightly to the left, to make it seem like I was indifferent to its presence. “Perfect!” the man shouted excitedly as he continued taking photos of me in the same position from different angles. I had already shot…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-70
Chicago Sun-Times — Review by Roger Ebert is a surprising entry into the growing slasher genre, one that demonstrates far more craft than its lurid premise might suggest. While clearly inspired by the success of , the film distinguishes itself through confident direction and an unexpectedly effective narrative misdirection. The film’s greatest strength lies in its manipulation of audience expectations. By positioning one character as a likely suspect, only to subvert that assumption in a…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

Gene Siskel didn’t have high expectations when he received an invitation to the premiere of . The reason was simple: had been such a big hit two years ago that copies were bound to follow. This happens with every film that becomes a major success, whether it’s comedy, romance, tragedy, sci-fi, or even horror. Slasher horror, especially, makes copying easier because it can be made cheaply and quickly. If is a hit, more copies and inspirations of the movie will permeate Hollywood. “What do you…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Congratulations on the success of , Noah.” “Thank you, David,” I said, nodding gratefully at him. It felt strange to be meeting David Letterman during his first year hosting a talk show on NBC. The 1980s were a very different time for talk shows compared to what I remembered from the 2020s. The ruler of the industry was undoubtedly Johnny Carson, whom I badly wanted to interview with. Unfortunately, Carson wasn’t interested. I wasn’t big enough for his time. Something similar happened…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

Daryl looked up at me with innocent eyes, her naked form sprawled under me. All her shyness had left her since it was just the two of us. Her hands roamed all over my skin, feeling the contours gained through years of hard work. “How are you so…” She trailed off, not knowing how to finish the sentence. “So?” I prodded gently. “Well built. I’ve seen men before, but you’re on another level entirely. It’s like…you’re not even human.” I laughed at that, then hugged her body…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
