Once again, you’ve blogged about a topic that’s on my mind. Every time I think I have a great BBT, I soften them into “he’s not a bad guy, just ___.” How did you teach yourself when to stop working on the BBT, before you made him into room-temperature butter in an Arizona summer?

Keep writing these great posts. Especially with all the images you add in that make me laugh!

NICE…and an excellent example to boot! I study a LOT of films to make my writing better. We can learn from every medium. Thanks for sharing.

I will not give up too much story detail here, but the tension of a typical action-drama-Bond movie was raise exponentially when a daredevil chase scene with the baddies racing after JB in an underpowered Toyota was set in motion with a 5-yo child in the backseat of Bond’s car. Again, I am holding back on storyline details, but as a father of a daughter, in the theater darkness I could feel my tension/fear growing during that quick-paced action sequence that crush my chest assuredly as if JB had parked his Aston Martin on my heart.
JB does what JB does, but the introduction of the child raised the stakes for the unflinching spy like I had never seen before. I hate Cary Joji Fukunaga for this. I commend him for it as well. I worry about what the young actress when through during filming.
BTW…texted my daughter as soon as I stepped from the theater, just to say ‘hi’

And your two classes I took were excellent. The Pitch class was especially helpful. Thank you!
