Writers who create dark fiction do not need to:

  • be your therapist
  • be responsible for your consumption
  • explain concepts readily available to you through Google searches
  • share their past or traumatic experiences
  • answer questions about their trauma
  • apologize for you ignoring warnings
  • cater to your entitlement

And that’s it. Be responsible for your damn self.

… SHIT HE’S RIGHT

FUCK HE IS RIGHT

In a very limited sense, this is The Fall.

“You might remember a few months ago, there was some talk about potentially remaking The Princess Bride, and everyone was all up in arms about it. ‘Why would you remake this move? It’s the perfect movie, blah-blah-blah-blah-blah’. I have to go another way. I think The Princess Bride is maybe the most remakeable movie in history. 

Don’t hate me, don’t hate me, remember the TARDIS, let me explain - 

At the end of the day, The Princess Bride is not about Westley; it’s not about Buttercup; it’s not about any of the characters; it’s not even really about True Love. The Princess Bride is a story about storytelling. The main characters of the movie are not Fezzik, not Inigo, but the Grandfather and the Boy. 

My proposal for a ‘kinda sequel but really really remake’ of The Princess Bride: We would start with Fred Savage, the Boy from the first take of the movie, showing up to work. He then runs into his coworker, played by Queen Latifah, and asks, ‘Hey, is your granddaughter still sick?’, and she says, ‘Yeah, I’m actually going home early today, so I can watch her tonight’. 

Savage’s character then smiles, hands her a book, and says, ‘Hey, when you go, read this to her. My grandfather used to read this to me, and I loved it.’ 

And every directorial decision you make for the whole movie process is how that little girl imagines the story as being told by her grandmother. 

[whispers] It would be awesome and you know it.”
