  1. I'm shocked to learn that people who went straight from their parents' suburban mansions to Ivy League schools and then into a coveted job writing scripts don't know anything about men, about women, about life. Who could've seen that coming?

  2. Take my advice and self-publish. Learn to promote your own book. Hemingway couldn't get published in 2023, that's for sure. Most of the authors I read and admire couldn't.

  3. Excellent example. Atticus is quiet, dignified, strong, principled. Faces down a lynch mob armed with shotguns and doesn't do it with histrionics or violence, but rather by sitting outside the jail with a lamp, reading a book. Atticus shamed that mob into relenting, and did it without ever raising his voice. Now that's a man.

  4. I know Mark quite well, taught his kids for years, have dined at his house, exchanged Christmas gifts with him. Mark Hamill is a very nice man and was so proud of being part of the Star Wars franchise, and of having helped create an iconic character. I hate that these bastards took all that away from him. Mark deserved better. Luke Skywalker was his life's work and these woke bastards tore that legend down just for the hell of it.

  5. It's narcissism. These are trust fund kids who've been told from the cradle they are the most special people on earth. Everyone has to be like them or else be evil. They don't create characters who are different from themselves because they can't.

  6. You want terse, masculine dialogue? Study Hemingway, McCarthy, Leonard, if you haven't already.

  7. Watch "Shane". Alan Ladd's character doesn't talk much, and Shane never says exactly what he's done--there's no tortured confession of some traumatic experience, but you can tell Shane has been to bad places and done bad things. Shane is careful with his actions and his speech, because he's stayed alive by not being careless, not letting his guard down, not even for a moment. And we as the viewer can feel that--it's not what Shane says, it's what he doesn't say. A man who won't talk about his past has a dark past. A modern screenwriter would include a flashback scene or some confessional where Shane breaks down and specifically describes some horrible things he's done and seen, which would destroy the mystique of the character. Writers today gush when they should dam.
