    Pretty Woman

    ★★½

    Nothing like a man afraid of heights, manipulating a hooker to set the mood.

    Theorizing behavior aside, that red short suit though.

    ★★★

    Reading a lot of angry reviews from men on this film. Maybe it’s not fOr YoU.

    Cliche? Yes.
    Mediocre character arcs? Yes. 
    Movie showing variety in femininity? Yes.
    Can you complain about it? Yes.

    Should we celebrate it and write a better one? You bet.

  • Adaptation.

    Adaptation.

    ★★★

    The kind of film where after viewing you are unsure if you kind of liked it or completely disliked it.

    As a screenwriter, is it imperative for me to enjoy it?

    I will say, most of those screenwriting seminars and “industry secrets” are shit.
    I understand it. But, come on.
