Hello, Sherlock Holmes adaptation writer. I have trapped you in this room. It is fully furnished and comfortable. On the table, you will notice a copy of A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of which redistribution is perfectly legal, as the work is in the public domain. You will notice it is rather thin. You have 24 hours to read the approximately 8,550 words in this story. To exit this room, all you must do is summarize the plot of the story without referring to Irene Adler as a seductress or implying she is attracted to Sherlock Holmes. Good luck.
I can’t stop laughing at Carrie being told “NO” by Mark. Also, Harrison Always Knows Best.
This is from a documentary called “From Star Wars to Jedi” released in 1983. Thanks @wookieekisses because I found that bit thanks to your post!

They’re figuring out the beats of the scene –while Harrison is tied up–.
So what Mark said about them basically having to make everything up themselves (with Harrison as impromptu leader) is true.
The original films were only good by accident and thats why none of the prequels or sequels worked
The original films were good because a lot of non-George-Lucas people worked hard to make them so. Carrie, Mark and Harrison fixing the dialogue wasn’t an ‘accident’. Marcia Lucas didn’t fix three films in edit by ‘accident’.
The prequels and sequels didn’t work because they thought that George Lucas was the genius behind the films, when they were a success despite him, not because of him.
So what I’m seeing here is that Harrison Ford directed the movie.
thinking about this post while in my film critiquing class and a student is arguing that the newest star wars movie are bad because George Lucas wasn’t involved 😭
limited George Lucas: good
unlimited George Lucas: problems
0 George Lucas: mostly much worse
The thing about George Lucas was that he always had a rough vision that was at least consistent throughout and he was always inventing and trying to do things in new ways. The sequels lack his consistency in vision and his desire to reinvent the saga in each trilogy, although Rian Johnson tried his hardest to reinvent the sequels basically by himself and people hated him for it. And so too did people hate Lucas when he did the prequels so guess things never change. (Although there are definitely justifiable reasons to not like the prequels. Namely the racial stereotypes everywhere.)
the whole arena yelling cha cha cha when Sweden wins.... death to the jury
the fact that they keep mentioning ABBA’s 50 year anniversary has made my entire family think it was rigged this year lmao
don't follow ESC and don't normally care but am low-key proud these guys are gonna be representing Croatia
not a joke entry - it's an anti-war song and it's brilliant
i feel like the whole camera work was so much better at the national performance, i missed those chaotic aerial shots 🥺
also EBU didn't let them have roses in their butts xD and the guy with rockets wasn't allowed to have NJINLE (Lenin) written on his forehead xD
also sad they didn't let them have their new golden tractor on stage cos it was too heavy but others were allowed to have a car? why? look how cool it is 🥺
alas to appreciate the Croatian song some brain is required
ŠČ!
jurys obviously missing that... and some audience too 🤷🏼♀️🫣
I always forget how passionately I hate the jury votes
come watch eurovision we got:
funky uncle squad ready to throw hands with the nearest dictator
human neon conga line
thor in a toyota
pagan wedding rituals
edgar allan poe
token boyband
tiny woman in a box
possessed barbie dolls
xena, warrior singer
matrix cosplayers
glam rock fire lord ozai
cyberpunk ninjas and modern art sculptures
and lastly, europe when the votes come in
abolish the juries seriously
- they have shit taste. unimaginative. not willing to consider anything even slightly unconventional. boring as fuck.
- which is to be expected since they will always end up being composed of ppl w similar tastes.
- vulnerable to corruption. see: poland for just 1 example.
- we literally pay for this?? most broadcasters in the ebu are publically funded in some way afaik. WE pay for this contest it's OUR money we should get to decide who wins. democracy!
United by music, divided by juries!
u think eurovision is a competition between european countries but it's a actually a competition between the jury and the people
this is so stressful why do we do this to ourselves every year
