>Anon keeps hustling at screenwriting, despite working retail at 29 with no agent or connections, clinging to the hope that if he ever musters the courage to submit his work, it’ll be so good he’ll break into the big leagues instantly and become rich, famous, and important.
>>216832352This. People like us should just get UBI. It would keep us out of the way of functioning parts of society and prevent a lot of petty crime. They already give it to Israel anyway.
>>216832300I just don't like writing no more
>>216832403>>216832352I'm in my mid-20's and I've never even come close to having a job. Yes, my parents have that look in their eyes when I enter the room.
>>216832300Writing scripts is the last way you should be trying to get into the business. Need to ingratiate yourself first with the people.
literally me but with recording music, if i can write and record one god tier EP i can immortalize myself on songwriting and character alone
>>216832426me too, partly because i know nobody reads anythingi used to make money through content writing before they deployed the algosi wanted to pivot into technical writing but it turned out they use these subnormal editing programs that i don't give a fuck about learning
>>216832352thought this was the kacinzkyi cabin for a second
Anons, this is Adaptaion (2002), watch it instead of typing out your ridiculously boring life stories.
>>216832839I'm sorry but this movie is literally about me, this scene was just a candid camera
>>216832839I'd much rather hear about anon's life stories than waste my life watching Hollyjew slop, you fucking loser.
>>216832911Anon's life stories are told in Truman Show threads
>>216832300I didn't like Cage in this movie. He acted like he had a painfully itchy STD. It was uncomfortable to watch. This movie made no sense. This is why I didn't like this movie.
>>216833452The movie made perfect sense.
>>216832352That looks like a nice house.For me to poop in!
>>216832866Holy shit I just remembered that last night i had a dream that I asked a girl out but maybe it was a memory that I had long forgotten fuck
Are /tv/ threads just one long series of voice overs?
In order to be a good writer, you have to have a curious mind.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkOJv_zT9FI
>>216832300Kaufman is peak jewish neurotic writer He's so neurotic there hasn't been any writers since him. Probably the last great hollywood writer. Now it's just bunch of diversity hires
>>216835244Even he can't get movies made anymore. His future is as a novelist, I think.
>>216835254He has several projects lined up and his last movie came out last year.
I'm going to start working on my novel, I hate the film industry too much.
>>216835254i think his name will sell any producer but wasnt he writing some 3000 page novel or something for a while?
>>216835310>several projects lined upProduction on his new movie shut down. The last movie he directed was in 2020. The only things he's made since then have been short films, one was released on fucking YouTube.>b-but Orion and the DarkHe wrote that in 2016>>216835425His name doesn't get him anything. After Synechdoche, New York flopped, he was basically in movie prison. He's said this in many interviews, he can't get financed because his movies don't sell.>3000 page novelHe's writing a second novel but I don't know anything about it being longer than the first
>>216832484Please find a job. Big difference between having a shit, dead-end job and being a NEET. One is bad, the other is hopeless. At least with a shit job you can still make enough money to make decisions for yourself.
>>216835466>movie prisonAs a director probably, if he's asking for complete creative control or something sure I can see that. He will always forever have options though if he just wants to make movies. Also I may be thinking about some anecdote about an early draft of antkind. I remember he cut a lot.
>>216832426>>216832662I love writing and my novel is good. I know because I've written enough bad ones to tell the difference. Even if it gets published though it's not a cookbook or a paranormal romance so I won't make any money.
>>216832300Never give up on your dreams. >>216835493This, as a 32y/o NEET I went from being attractive and charismatic to sort of doughy and socially awkward. You can't survive without self agency and relying on the state saps your soul. Plus, I haven't given up yet - if I'm still going, why would anyone under 30 stop trying? Don't end up like me, but also realise people like me are still trying to make it out despite the almost decade difference.
>>216832352Sell ass
>>216833486I remember reading somewhere that 4chin and similar imageboards created a different tense in english when you >implyI forget what it's called
>>216835665Isn't it just 2nd person tense and the "You are" is omitted?>You are implying that OP is not a faggot.
>>216835665It's a gerund form noun phrase without a predicate>implying I read your postis short for, "Implying I read your post would be incorrect."
>>216832484Get a job. Even a dumb, stupid one.Earning your own money is a very good feeling ngl.Parents who still give money to their NEET sons so they spend their days playing vidya and jacking off are a big part of the problem.
>>216832300There is one strict rule if you want to get into tv and film writing: MOVE TO LA. It is literally not going to happen for you if you don't live there.
Anon needs to realize studios are relying more on AI to write their scripts and in a few years screenwriters will be used only for low budget indie flicks
>>216836642LA studios are dying. Aiming low in the tax-break zones can only be easier.
>>216836642All the film productions nowadays are in Canada, uk and new Zealand Nobody makes films in america anymore
>>216836705this is a preproduction thread though
>>216832403>>216832484you should actually kill yourselvesMerry Christmas!
>>216832352I'd love to neet but I have poor spic parents
>>216836779Then its irrelevant where you live As long as your father last name is Goldstein you will get work in hollywood
>>216837854why is he literally me
>>216838698Kaufman is a master of pandering to insecure people.
>>216832300this is the definition of vulnerable-type narcissism. You believe you have a special talent unique in the word but its your moms fault, society's fault that you haven't been recognized. Many NEETs are just narcissists who believe they are special boys, very thin skinned, easily insulted. Broke, ugly and useless but somehow still better than everyone else in their mind. It's a sickness.
>>216832426Writings fun, production is a bitch
>>216832300For as much as I hate Kevin Smith, he set a good example. Just go out and make a fucking movie.
>>216839570how does that relate to woody allen?
>>216832839Kek, this. Guaranteed that Donald’s supposed hack screenplay was better than whatever pretentious trash you faggots are writing.
>>216832579Half of the songs on Spotify have never been played. It's grim
>>216833486Can't put a date on the screen to show what day it is. Instead the character has to turn on the radio and the DJ says " it's a beautiful sunny day on December 25, 1968, Merry Christmas and up next it's The Beatles with Yellow Submarine". I'm a good writer
>>216839596With iPhones way too many people are doing this now to get noticed. Dong tho in 1994 was way harder
>>216836469>Earning your own money is a very good feeling ngl.i always hated it and gave it to my parents
>>216839717The problem with voice-over is that it’s so often used in bad movies to cover for flaws in the narrative that would otherwise confuse the audience.
>>216839733theres nobody left to notice anyway, just gotta build your own audience
>>216839596Christopher Nolan as well. Following took years to complete.
>>216832300Based. It's 1000x better actually to try and fail at shit. Too many people lose their souls and passions as they get older.You should pursue shit even if you're not going to make it.
>>216832300this was me at 26, im 32 now, still draw, write and make music, but thank god i found out about crypto at 25 didnt believe in it much, soomeone told me just own 10 btc, and god bless him for that. now i hate the state of hollywood and view it as over, everything now is just slop.
Who was in the wrong here?
>>216832579Give it a rest and get a job, imbred
>>216832484Good. Continue to make them suffer for their failure. They had complete and total control over you during your entire goddamned childhood and couldn't mcfucking teach you an ounce of responsibility. They got exactly what they deserve.
>>216832300James Cameron was a truck driver with no hollywood connections. He had ideas about metal robots from the future covered with organic flesh, and had to work his way with no help to make it into a film.If you doubt something will happen, it wont happen, not because of the world, because of YOU.
>>216837854Cage was meant for roles like these but he insists on being an action starWasted career
>>216841313>He had ideas about metal robots from the future covered with organic fleshummm sweaty he stole that idea from litigious jew harlan ellison, thrice may his kike name be damned
>>216841342has cage ever refused a role?
>>216832300at that point you just give up, make a crazy vanlife/urban explorer etc youtube account and do insane and dangerous shit and hope to one day end up on rogan or something with some bullshit life details to make you sound more interesting than you are before getting your own NF show; in which you quickly die because you'd no idea wtf were doing in the first place and become a mid-tier internet meme
Have you story ideas, master anon?
>>216841313Cameron had worked in Hollywood for years by that time and specifically got Terminator made due to his connections.
>>216841342His action roles are the minority thougheverbeit
