All recommendations gratefully received on what to watch in this vein. I very much want to track down Double Indemnity (1944) next as I love Billy Wilder stuff (just haven't gotten hold of it).
But yes, The Third Man was good!
Finally watched The Third Man (1949). Great performances all around in this little noir set in the aftermath of WWII.
There is a chase scene that takes place in this labyrinthine sewer system that looks absolutely splendid in black-and-white. Worth the price of admission alone.

Well, I'm at sixes and sevens with the Blacklist for FAR AS THE CROW FLIES. Overall sixes.
Sounds like I need to play more with information flow (which has been a bugbear in this - there's a tradeoff between tension and surprise), and perhaps untwirl Joe's moustache somewhat.

So, I've co-written a rom-com (not my usual genre) and I'd love to get notes on it. Would anyone be interested in a script swap?
I would be open to reading any genre, but I'd love for my reader to be a fan, if not a writer, of rom-coms.
There's one character in all your work, who is the most important character in the story, yet who must never make an actual appearance in the story.
This character is the God of the story. All is beholden to this character's whims and choices.
It's you.

I've never been to AFM and (for various reasons) I had no plans to break that cycle this year. But someone went and planted a seed in my head that it might be good for me. Who's been? How have you liked it? What stage should your project(s) be at?

My horror brand as a writer
I tried to come up with a name for the band in my screenplay but couldn't do it. Then while I was relaxing in the tub 🛀I was writing a scene between two of the characters & out of the exchange the name came. Sometimes you just have to sit back & let the characters tell you their story #scriptsky+
I am *sure* some writer in my feed can use this knowledge somewhere #scriptsky
Hey, qsq for #ScriptSky (particularly working TV writers):
Say you wanted to write a long term Freaky Friday body swap between two main characters. Think as if Picard/Riker had swapped bodies in episode 2 and that just STUCK for 2+ seasons.
How would YOU address it in dialogue slugs and business?
Comment in recently-received notes for my fantasy-comedy
"Ask of every sequence: what becomes impossible to return from after this?"
Love it
Just here to say I made myself watch Happy Death Day, Megan, & Knock at the Cabin and I had a great(?) time.
I only looked away a couple of times but played it off (to myself) that it was because I needed something in the other room. Which I totally did at those moments btw! #moviesky #scriptsky
