>He's making progress, bog him down for an hour trying to decide character names
>/lit/ - You Just Have to Recognize Filmslop, You Do
>>25493654You the same bitch who was complaining about someone talking about films in WYT threads huh?
>>25493651Unless you're trying to play the "meaningful name" game, just do what I do>go to Google Maps>pick favorite big city>name characters after streets near or adjacent to each otherI've had some good luck with mine (too bad my stories suck), personally. But the strategy does work--somebody did it with some streets in Portland years ago to great success.
>>25493654>Now, make the janny post a terrible first post, get all the other posters to call him a bitch
that's the easiest problem to work around. Just call your character Fucks Bumbleby or something , and then change it later.
>>25493651I use the Toriyama approach where you just go into a kitchen and name a character after the first ingredient you see.
>i know! i'll call him tantivy mucker-maffick!
>when he's infogooning on a toilarc
>I WANT TO SEE ANON ON THE FLOOR HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN, STAT!
>>25494296>>25494296>But the strategy does work--somebody did it with some streets in Portland years ago to great success.Bart Ska-Mpson the original rudeboy?
>>25493654I saw it in the theater Get off my lawnIt was a fun movie
Have you people actually seen The Truman Show? I doubt it
>>25495539>Americans really show movies in theatres
>>25495557i think very short introduction to postmodernism talked about it like it was a serious movie so idk maybe it is, they also talked about last action hero as a postmodern film too tho so idk
>>25493654Not a slop film
>>25494322I agree with this. That's the Pynchon method: this character is named Mike Pussy, if I want I can change it later
>>25495557I did, I liked it. I wished I watched more movies
>>25495557>have you people ever seen one of the most popular entry-level films ever made? Retard
>>25493654fpbp
>settle on a character name>"but do they really feel like a ____?"
>>25493654I'd be on your side as I don't watch cinema, but this film is actually great and you're retarded for not having watched it.
>>25496013If you people really have seen it then why do you incorrectly use this scene
>>25493651>hmm....>Hiro Protagonist>good enough
>>25496674Trvke, the film is good.
>>25496674It's a slippery slope, anon. Before you know it you'll be asking me to recognize random anime and video game characters in books-for-this-feel threads.
>>25493651I just call em "A." "L." "S." like japs to continue with the story and decide later, if I ever get far enough
>>25497013This is a corruption of the meme format, as is inevitable when retards get involved. The original threads I saw on /tv/ were posting with things like>Now make the torrent stall at 99%Using Christof's control of Truman's world in a way that we can relate to.But then people who missed the point would post things like>Now make him think of that embarassing thing he did 20 years agoMissing the crucial point of the film, that his environment is manipulated, not him specifically.And this is just a short form example of how every philosophy, teaching, expression is inevitably distorted
Coming up with names and descriptions is the easiest part for me.Actually writing a cohesive story is the hardest part. Makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
>>25493654>prideful zoomerbrown failed the knowledge check while trying to larp as baseduh oh
>>25497686Genuinely and unironically, books for this feel?
>>25496013I haven't
