- Noumenon72 2y agoDo you think it's better? It's twice as long and kind of seems like someone told ChatGPT to rewrite it with attitude but no new content (I know it's from 2016 and the nice version came second).
- tithe 2y agoI prefer his "brass tacks" writing style, but it's also interesting to compare the versions (Grillo-Marxuach is a screenwriter, after all).
- justin66 2y ago> "brass tacks" writing style You're misusing that idiom - clearly the shorter "nice" version is the one that gets down to brass tacks (focuses on the essentials). It makes the same points in half the length.
- patrickhogan1 2y agoIts interesting that he doesn't link to the original version in his Essays section https://okbjgm.weebly.com/essays.html https://okbjgm.weebly.com/essays.html For anyone thinking the not so nice version is how he really thinks, it seems instead its more of a first draft and the nice version is the one that he now agrees with.
- rurban 2y agoMuch better. I can appreciate how I dodged the bullet working in the film/TV business. I forget why I left, but now I remember again. Theatre is very similar btw. Thanksfully engineering is soo much better, SW being the best to work in. As long as you can stay away from incompetent middle managers
