There is no recovering from this.
>>221022028His brother did just fine, all he did was have self confidence.
Xochi would never leave me hanging like that.
>>221022028>stand up>prepare to talk in high volume>IM GLAD I HAVE FINALLY CAUGHT YOU HERE. LEAVE MY 11 YEAR OLD SON ALONE OR I NEXT TIME WILL CALL THE POLICE, YOU FUCKING PEDOPHILE>leave cafe and enjoy a celebratory burger king
bros it's different when she actually knows you and isn't just your waitress right bros? right?
>>221022050>just be confident bro
>>221022061Hi I'm going to a pancake convention up in Santa Barbara I was wondering if if if...
>>221022134Im telling you, just try and pretend for a while. Like your in a movie, and eventually you will be that way for real.

>>221022028Condescending bitcu
>>221022028Maybe he should have invited her to the Orchid show instead of just bragging about it and she wouldn't have soured in him
>>221022395you cheeky cunt
>>221022028look its fatty mcgoo
>>221022028I'm so goddamned lonely
>>221022061Yeah, cause she'd take one look at you and ick before you could even speak.
>>221023500if it makes you feel better, getting a gf won't help. I thought it would but it only made me worse and I ended up dumping her
>>221022028Kek I love this movie.
>>221022028i do this sort of thing on purpose
>>221022028Are voice overs really seen as bad writing? I actually like them because they make me feel more connected to the character and some of the most acclaimed movies of all time like Taxi Driver use them.
>>221025021It goes against "show don't tell" but I think voice overs can be good if used in a good way, I like unreliable narrators especially when used in a comical way.
>>221022095>>stand up>>chair fumbles almost trip>>prepare to talk in high volume>>deep breath, raise arms outward>>voice breaks >>IM GLAD I HAVE FINALLY CAUGHT YOU HERE. >>cough>>squeaky voice break>>MY 11 YEAR OLD SON. . OR I NEXT CALL THE >SIR... SIR CALM DOWN OR PLEASE LEAVE>run out of store>cry
>>221025335The Japanese version of Sideways is one of the most egregious violators of "show don't tell" that I've seen. Just compare the opening of that movie to the original. It's abysmal. There's a voiceover of the Japanese Miles telling us who he is and what he is doing and why.
>>221022095>Stand up>Massive erect cock sends the table flying end over end>"PEDOPHILE" he boomed with a triumphant grin>her panties insta-soak very obviously>entire restaurant points and laughs at her>Walk away, leaving only a small gratuity

>>221022168Positive self talk is a powerful tool.
>>221022385She is trying to be a polite server for tips. That is all.
>>221022137>i'll go with you, anon. i never visited santa barbara either!
>>221022050His brother was still made fun of by women, Charlie recalls a story to Donald about how a girl they knew made fun of him after he approached her, but Donald informs him he already knew and didn't care.
>>221022168>>221026973Bingo.
>>221025021The joke in the movie is that you've had a voice over going up until that point and it's worked great, but after that point it stops. The joke itself isn't a riot but since it takes half the movie to set up and the payoff is never pointed out it's one of the more extravagant jokes ever written into a film.
>>221025021Do you like Adaptation? Do you think it's a good movie? Did you notice how it breaks half a dozen of McKee's rules?There are plenty of great films with voice over. It's a visual medium so 'show don't tell' has historically been favoured but that doesn't mean you can't break the rules if you understand why they're generally there and it feels right. There's literally no way to convey some internal thoughts and motivations for characters without it.
>>221027004>hey you see that guy sitting alone in the booth? I’m going to the Pancake Fest in Santa Barbara with him with weekend, I’m so excited!
>>221027004>>221027255Does Ihop make good pancakes?
>>221022168>>221026973>fake it til ya make it brah!this is such bad advice. you can't change your personality, you just play pretend until you blow your brains.
>>221022095Your skin is brown
>>221025021wtf I didn’t know taxi driver had narration. For that reason I’m out
>>221028509Positive self talk is not faking it. Its guiding and forgiving yourself when you make mistakes. Look up volition from disco elysium to see what its about.
>>2210272971) It's a little too over the top for me personally, but if she's that excited about her pancakes, who are we to criticize her? Leave her alone. 2) I really hope it turned out this woman was autistic or something so all the people who were making fun of her feel like shit. 3) That girl across the way really needs to mind her own fucking business, Jesus Christ. Why not just move over to her table while you're at it?
>>221027297Pancakes have like five ingredients and take twenty minutes to make. I don’t know how you can make a bad one.
>>221022028>"Oh yeah? Well the date store called and they said that you had to come with me to the orchid show in Santa Barbara this Saturday"
