There is one particular person who fucked up and used “could of” instead of the correct “could have”.......not going to name anyone but that shit needs to be corrected ASAP
This is correct, it is pure ego that prevents someone from acknowledging their understanding of their language was lacking.
I salute you sir, in you attempts to encourage accuracy of words which, in time will communicate accuracy of thought.

I’ve got some main “persistent cases (users)” singled out so I keep a close eye on them.
I’m still finding others making errors here and there but no where near the level of the “persistent cases”....

We need to keep tabs on these "persistent cases," chances are they're limiting themselves by failing to utilize the language to convey the full breadth and depth of their thoughts. Steel sharpens steel....and steaks don't eat themselves. Goooooooooo team!!!

Twins. It sucks you in and is hard to stop watching. But so does Jaws and Shawshank. Also Bloodsport, I think. My personal top 10 would also include 13th Warrior - way better than the book. Neverending Story is also a personal favorite, also based on a book though...I'm still deciding.

My list is primarily what I liked the most, and it's a tie between several movies.

I read an article with John Milius a while ago that rocked my world. He said in his day, the producers were looking for writers and directors with strong ORIGINAL vision. Something unique and personal they had to bring, and they would try to fuel that source. Milius said even when writing Apocalypse Now, FF Coppola would just stay the fuck out of his way and let him do his thing.

He compares to now, where the industry is like 99% about making profit and 1% about art, and the goal is to pick 'safe' directors that will bend over for the execs to tell him what to do.
so true

MILIUS MOVIES
Those are the best IMO

Writers are teams of hired formula-driven monkeys, and not that lone weirdo genius you have chosen to trust to come up with something badass. Nobody wants to take a chance with original works because they are financially risky, its better to re-make shit that has a ready-made audience who are guaranteed to go see it. I bet more $$$ is spent on advertising than they spend on their writing teams lol

I used to love movies, I thought they were magical and amazing. Then I really became sour on the industry, saw Hollywood for what it is, started seeing how much propaganda is littered in the industry etc etc.

Now I'm starting to come back again, I think there is hope... the MEDIUM still has the raw potential to tell great stories, to make memorable and mythical stories for us. I think there has been kind of a loss of responsibility/respect for the artform... it shouldn't be cheapened just to make entertainment or eye candy. Milius also criticizes the cheapening of violence in Hollywood. I too find it disturbing how MOST Hollywood films are about something bad, always crime and murder nasty characters, - so few positive messages out there! It's really unbalanced imo

People write stories because they have something to say, something to tell. Like a good myth, a good story should make us reflect on our own lives, touch upon something meaningful in the human experience. Movies are so cool for this, they can capture something that can you goosebumps, stir your very soul...

Its kind of a blasphemy imo to abuse this artform the way we see so many movies do. I hope to see a return to more personal films, I hope people are growing tired of over-done Hollywood style and will start enjoying the magic of the indy-films again.
It's funny that the only directors that make anything good and accessible are the ones who don't have execs telling them what to do.
