More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl
Crush Commitment Fighting
I have become a giant fan of the testing process, especially with a comedy. i mean, they tell you what's funny. it's almost tailor-made for people who shoot the way we shoot, trying a million different options and versions of things. because the audience doesn't laugh at a joke, we put in another joke. if they don't laugh at the next joke, we put in another joke. you just keep doing them and you can get the movie to the point where every joke is funny, if you have enough options in the can.
Mean People Laughing
If i tell a joke on stage and the crowd laughs for a minute, i stand there for a minute and enjoy them laughing before i go on to the next joke. on tv, if i stand there for a minute while they laugh, i look like an idiot who can't remember the next joke.

I remember watching meryl streep in, the river wild. there's this scene where she's has a gun pointed at her, it's absurd in a lot of ways. someone pulls a gun on her i think, i'm not really fully aware of the scene and she just, she starts, you see her terrified. and then all of a sudden she starts to burst out laughing. she starts laughing. like she can't stop laughing. because she's terrified and she's emotional and there are no rules to what you're supposed to feel. that to me is like a number one, that's the thing i have to remind myself all the time.
Gun Emotional Thinking
What you never want to do is have a story that doesn't track emotionally, because then you're going joke to joke and you're going to fatigue the audience. the only thing that's going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is.

And i think it's because good cons are all based on the victim's need, and the successful con artist is the one, i guess, who can exploit that. i remember reading something about this, that one of the great traits of confidence tricksters is the level that they flatter their victim.

I want you to say to me right from the start, "we are here to serve customers. we're not here for me to make a lot of money. we're not here to bet on interest rates or credit spreads. we are here to serve our customers really well over a long period of time, and that's how you build a successful business." and so i want to see that, too, you know?
