    Ok haven't finished the vid yet I'm at 6:51 most of things i sort of agree with but the crowded no cause yes most of the movie isolation but for like a ending or opening i like to do something big like scream 6 quiet place day one so cool like a action scene with so much suspense. Plus unknown is better you can't reveal too much or it's just bad and leaves no imagination And there's so much real to that real killers

  • @randomspirit

    Screaming recriminations at rigid sweating sycophants standing at the foot of the table, ADOLF HITLER-thinning dark hair, toothbrush mustache, wild eyes-punctuates his rage with jerky arm movements, nearly flinging himself out of his own chair. A narcissist driven to the edge of insanity by the failure of his subordinates to lay world domination at his feet.

    Wow, it's like time-traveling! These are mostly from 5 years ago. This lady was the best at explaining screenplay stuff back then, by far. I wonder where she might be by now. Anyhow, her videos were just the thing to get me started on writing what I needed to. BTW, I would depict an innocent, helpless, and weak baby Hitler surrounded by the harsh conditions of impoverished Germany. Or, as a great visionary, a charismatic man, for comedic purposes, I couldn't take it seriously, it's been overdone by now. I miss you bad. Cheers!!!
