My friend dressed her dog up as Marty McPug from Back to the Future.
I-
holy shit
this is the photo I never knew I needed in my life (via mishasubi)
dksljfsdkljfkdljfsdkjlf reading the Back to the Future screenplay rekindled my love of scriptwriting and my determination to work this shit out
that script went through FOUR MAJOR REDRAFTS before it was perfect - before it was the film that we all know and love! They didn’t even come up with the fucking DeLorean until the third draft and even then, they were running the damn thing into a nuclear power test - the second incarnation was a refrigerator and the first was a typical laser beam!
So why am I getting angry when one or two pages aren’t working perfectly on the first go?
Why am I getting pissed off at the fact that it’s difficult?
Of course it’s difficult - I couldn’t find it interesting if it was easy! Who gives a shit if it takes endless drafts? This is what I’m meant to be doing- this is what I could spend the rest of my life doing!
Fuck perfectionism - I’m going to slam it out and love every single minute of it!
{The amount of exclamation points in this post is probably because I finished reading the script about 20 minutes ago and it features lines such as “He skateboards around the corner and down the hill!” “The water sprinklers turn on!” “THE SPEEDOMETER IS AT 88 MILES PER HOUR!” - fuck yeaaaahhh}
For my screenwriting dissertation (about time travel), I get to watch this film as often as I possibly can. For the rest of forever.
… I feel slightly better about my degree. (Source: dinklage, via knowledgeiscake)
AAAAAAAA, BACK TO THE FUTURE II
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, BOB GALE.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, GOD, SO FUCKING GOOD.
ONE DAY, I SERIOUSLY HOPE THAT I CAN WRITE SOMETHING ONE EIGHTH AS GOOD AS THAT
I FORGOT HOW FUCKING BRILLIANT THAT FILM WAS UNTIL I REWATCHED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS THIS EVENING
SO FUCKING EXCITED AND OPTIMISTIC ABOUT BECOMING A SCREENWRITER RIGHT NOW
SHIT LIKE THAT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO WRITE
I MIGHT GO WORK ON MY OWN (NOT LIGHT-HEARTED, ACTUALLY VERY DEPRESSING) TIME TRAVEL SCREENPLAY RIGHT NOW
I AM GOING TO FUCKING KNOCK THIS DISSERTATION OUT OF THE FUCKING PARK THIS YEAR
AND GET INTO A SCREENWRITING MASTERS PROGRAMME
AND WRITE FILMS
EVEN THOUGH I WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD
AAAAAA, INCOHERENT BABBLE, BUT AM SO FUCKING EXCITE
