ME: Yeah.
DIRECTOR J: You should send out a staff email that says, "FUCK YOU J!"
ME: That won't look good. I'd like to come back and work here for future projects.
DIRECTOR J: You can just send it to me then.

hello new friends
Thanks for the follow, and I hope I get you to Stay For The Credits when it comes to going to the movies!
It feels nice that the week my job got terminated at the animation studio, I get loads of followers. Something to look forward to during my unemployment I guess.

Sarah Waters's: 10 Rules for Writing Fiction
I love this advice because she relates it to film.
(via)
1 Read like mad. But try to do it analytically – which can be hard, because the better and more compelling a novel is, the less conscious you will be of its devices. It’s worth trying to figure those devices out, however: they might come in useful in your own work. I find watching films also instructive. Nearly every modern Hollywood...

Twin Peaks: (#2.3)
Albert Rosenfield: [to Sheriff Truman] Now you listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global.

[He leaves the room]
Dale Cooper: [to Sheriff Truman] Albert's path is a strange and difficult one.

– A director, to me.
My termination date at the studio is coming up. It’s nice to know that I am needed, and by one of my fave directors.
