CG Ch-11
I typed furiously on my computer, trying to make each scene as cinematic as possible. That's a big part of adapting a book into a movie. Some things that work really well on paper and feel gritty can simply make viewers uncomfortable on screen. Like this one scene I’m working on currently where the male protagonist was almost violated by a trucker. Yeah, no one wants to see that. Instead, he can become a hero by saving a girl from a similar situation. I know it’s a little sexist, but that’s…- 31.2 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…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

is the best coming-of-age movie you’ll see this year Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Rating: 4/4 I had no idea what I was getting into when I walked into the premiere of . I was told by the trailers and the controversy that arrived just before the film’s release that it would be about sex, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a mirror to our society. The beginning of the tale is one that every red-blooded male would know: the urge to lose his virginity before his friends during his teenage…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“My water just broke,” she announced. “Hugo! Get the car!” My brother-in-law, who was an excellent doctor, seemed to forget all of his training the moment he saw his wife on the verge of delivering their second child. “Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! This is happening,” Hugo said in a panic. “What are we gonna do?” “Calm down, bro,” I called out as I helped Aria to her feet. “Grab Miles and follow Aria and me. We're going to the hospital.” He nodded gratefully and…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-367
The movie opened with the characters played by Steve Carell and Julianne Moore on a dinner date together. Steve's character asked his wife what she wanted for dessert, and she responded with something completely unexpected. “I want a divorce.” What seemed like a happy couple suddenly found their marriage falling apart. The strange part was that Cal, Steve's character, never even tried to convince her not to go through with it. He agreed almost immediately. He didn't even ask for a…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

The turning point came when Desmond saved a man from dying after he was crushed under a car and began bleeding profusely. Using a belt as a tourniquet seems like a very simple thing to do, but for him to act so decisively in the middle of an emergency without panicking was a real act of heroism. The man’s life was saved when he was brought to the hospital shortly afterward, and the doctor credited Desmond for saving his life. It was there in the emergency room that Desmond looked around and saw…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

“This is the best film to come out of Harvard ever, short films included,” Robert Gardner, my filmmaking teacher at Harvard, said enthusiastically while crushing me in a tight hug. “Seriously, Noah, you've done more for the filmmaking course at Harvard than all the other students combined.” “Thank you, Mr. Gardner,” I said, a little embarrassed by his excessive praise when some of my fellow filmmaking students were standing right beside me. I separated from him a moment later and pointed…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“Cheers!” A voice rang out from the corner of the club we were occupying as everyone around us raised their glasses of champagne. The background noise of the club was ignored in favor of enjoying the moment. A huge grin spread across my face as I raised my own glass high before gulping down most of it. The only reason I’d even grabbed the glass was that it would’ve looked weird if I hadn’t, after being the co-lead actor and writer of one of the most talked-about films at this year’s Cannes…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

"Are you okay, Caleb?" Kim sat up in bed. The sheet slid down, giving me an unobstructed look at her nakedness. She was clearly unbothered by being naked in front of me. "Yeah," I said slowly. "I think I am." I really was. My brain probably wasn’t in the right place, with everything hitting me at once, but this was the best thing that could’ve happened. Getting to relive your youth was a dream for most older guys. And I wasn’t about to let this opportunity go. I smiled at the girl I loved to…- 31.2 K • Ongoing
