>try to write a script
>realize it's all surrealist nonsense because you are a hack fraud that can't tell good stories

LMAO fucking loser

Didn't stop JJ abrams

Lmao u suck

>watch a movie
>see a couple who love each other
>realize no girl loves you and feels bad man.

are you me? Still have not seen Her because of that.

Name something original in the past 20 years. It's all been thought up and it's all been written.

Keep trying.

Show me YOUR script then fuckers

>sit down to try to write a script
>shitpost on Sup Forums instead

We are all wojack

>try to write script
>it's a sopranos rip off

I'm sure you'll get far and make great stuff with that mindset, faggot.

Why? So you can see how good it is and cry some more? If so then sure

just take some stimulants and get writing

I bet I can call it Hobbit with X, fag

Next time you write, try to copy two movies instead of just one. Then try to copy three, and then four. When you reach a level when you can build a script by ripping off from five or six different movies, you will know you made it.

I'm not a writer, I'm an editor to hacks like you.

>try to write this thread
>realize you subconsciously wrote the malcolm in the middle episode where he subconsciously rips off the meow mix jingle
>realize you're not the boss of me now

>not just directing already written stories
that way you can concentrate on being a true auteur. writing is for faggots. just pick whatever story and load it with directing gimmicks if you don't have any actual talent

>not acting

its literally playing pretend

dogs and children can do it its easy money if you arent a complete retard.

The only hack here is you. You think the men who created great things throughout history thought that everything that could be made has been made, so why bother?

fake it till you make it

>try to write a script
>realise the best script ever, the 1930 The Anvil Hoarder has already been written
>trash everything and kill yourself

This

Right now my film is a combination of Terminator 2, Spiritied Away, Groundhog Day, Casablanca, and Bee Movie. Get on my level.

BvS

...

>try to wrote a script
>try and do character dialogue
>realize you are over thinking it and making them sound unnatural and robotic
>trash the whole idea
Every fucking time

Dialogue is the hardest thing to learn but of you practice it it'll come soon enough. The key is having characters with a strong personality; how would THEY talk?

This. Once it comes to character interaction I always get stumped

The phrase "There's nothing new under the sun" is still relevant today. Fact of the matter is, whatever idea you come up with will probably have been through up already, but maybe with a few twists here and there. What makes the difference is how you implement it. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure was heavily inspired from Fist of the North Star. The two have glaring similarities, yes, but still retain its originality.
It's all in the presentation. Just recognize your influences, but distinguish yourself from them.

>try to write a script
>can't write realistic sounding dialogue

the only logical user in this thread

This will make you look like a turbo-autist, but record day to day conversations with people, if you have friends, secretly record a meeting with them. Write it all out afterwards and read through. This will help you get a feel for how people really speak. Written English is very different from spoken English.

>try to write a script
>reread it, it's pretty bad
>remember that the majority of writing in TV and film is pretty bad
>feel better and keep at it

>The Anvil Hoarder

Terrible meme, I have no idea how long it's been around but it's terrible.

>try to write a script
>it's pretty good
>fuck being modest it's the best script ever
>contact with a big channel in your country
>two options
>you can become the co-showrunner or you can just sell it
>i'm a busy man and i can write a lot better so just take the money and let them fuck your script
>easy cash

Don't get inspired by other stories then, get inspired by your anything else.
Your surroundings and experiences, for example.

How can you even write a bad script?If you think it's unusable, post it here.

>run my screenplay through a bunch of friends and family
>they all love it
>unbeknownst to them, it's essentially a plagiarized Atlantic article

>have amazing idea for a movie
>no idea how to structure it so the film is paced well

here, for inspiration:

And when you're ready to produce a serious script, just wrap everything up with something you value and make it the message of your work.

There you have it. The meaning of our trifling lives.

>try to write a script
>realize it's a ripoff of a family guy episode

Truly the worst feel

We call it ''The Tarantino Way''.

I'm intrigued, link to the article?

rate my idea... don't steal it...

>guy finds a special candle
>when he lits it it sucks him into the candle dimension
>where everyone is made of wax
>is found by a girl who happens to be a wax police officer
>takes him to wax jail
>guy burns his wax cell walls down and escapes
>comes into another encounter with the wax girl
>holds his flame up to wax her and threatens her life
>wax girl professes undying love for the guy
>the two lie on a wax bed and get heated
>she melts slowly as it goes further on but does not stop
>at the climax it she is nothing but melted wax
>he is sucked out of the candle world as the camera pans over the special candle as the wick dies and the wax runs out

>try to conceptualize the main character
>it's always just a very thinly veiled self-insert

>villain tricks heroes into fighting
>they team up for a boss battle
Same old superhero formula.

>try to write a script
>write a screenplay instead

>Try to write a script
>end up writing down all of the camera angles and shots because you're autistic and don't want some fucking shitty director to ruin your masterpiece which you've just realized is complete trash so you rip it up and cry yourself to sleep

Literally the hobbit with candles instead of rings

>candle dimension

>have the music, actor movement, camera angles, lighting, etc picked out
>haven't even written the scene

>tfw stopped trying to write scripts because im not a playright like some sorta fucking faggot
>write stories then adapt them into screenplays
>oh look this is much easier

top kek

sold my first script 8 months ago

This is almost literally me, fucking hell.

LOL how arrogant must you to THINK you can write a good script and gain something from it?

You need talent to do shit like this, if you still didn't do it you'll never do it

Also, nobody would buy it because you don't have fucking talents in the competitive world that is the entertainment one

Fucking kids

>used to be all young and idealistic and shit
>thought writing was something only gifted people could do
>find out it's a simple by the numbers formula and you just fill in the blanks
>all you need to do is write good dialogue and create interesting characters that represent the zeitgeist

Comedy is my niche

Figure out what you're best at and just write a few stories and don't expect them to ever get made, but if they're any good someone will notice them

>this is actually good advice

connected hacks can and do hammer out shitty generic scripts endlessly

think up a good idea and write it as a proper story

yeah mang screenwriting is completely unnatural

so clunky

every other fucking line its name this name that change setting blah blah

the mind doesnt tell a story like that

write a story for fuck sake then adapt it

can't you just copy a flick and say it's a parody?

they can

you cant

Depends on how big your nose is.

>tfw writing a romcom cause they make bank
>realise writing women sucks massive cock

sad

>hate what im writing
>writing it anyway

you will fail

Just take this advice.

i shelved it and i do hate it

at the moment im writing a comedy horror called girls v predator

My movie would be a 1 million dollar budget consisting of dank memes and bass ear rapes

it would also have have the word "nigger" said 1,200 times at least

It's called Kino Kops

do I have to be good at writing to write a script or just have good ideas?

>i know now why you make honey but it is something i can never do

I wrote the opening scene to a surreal horror film that I envision being 3.5-4 hours long. I don't actually know what it's about yet. Is the man on the couch dead or unconscious?

just ideas bro

drop em on an sheet of A4 and mail them to any major studio, you'll get a six figure check and prod credit before you know it

both

although in that context i dont know what good at writing means

You need a good idea but just need to know how scripts are structured and formatted. That's the extent of the "writing ability". I mean that and making sure the dialogue isn't complete shit.

He's been drugged by his best friend because he's grown desensitized to fear and needs something to make him scared again.

>dialogue
oh... can't toher guionists polish that? im more a big picture guy

What are you saying? That you want to just be the pitch guy and have someone else actually write the script? 'Cause then they'll end up getting all the money.

pitch us your story goofball

It never stopped Tarantino.

>start writing script
>realise im a 20something virgin who hasn't held a real job, has no life experience and has minimal social interactions so I can't relate to anyone apart from the small population of people who are like me and they're basically worthless anyway
>trash it

Holy fuck you're literally me.

Lately I've been trying to eavesdrop on normies in cafes and restaurants to see how they talk though, I think that will help.

you retard that's the perfect indie character

literally 50% of 20-30s are unemployed losers so its easy to relate

the rest either were or know many who are
