      Screenwriting isn't the same thing as poetry - it's certainly not the same thing as *written* poetry (as opposed to spoken word) A good line for the stage or the screen is not the same thing as a good line that still seems really cool and deep when written out in text

      Writing something that I can put on a page and just look and that still has various depths and nuances and whatnot while still looking at it days later is hard And it's not a very marketable skill because people don't like reading shit that way

      I'm sorry but modern poetry makes no money and is mostly ignored by the general public for this reason It's just a fact, a freaking obvious fact, and maybe that's because everyone in the world except you is fucking stupid but hey it's true

      In fact I would say that it's so hard to try to be subversive and deep on the page when your words are taken in isolation like that that poetry of necessity goes in and out of fashions

      Every generation develops a new set of tricks to try to escape the cliches of the previous generation that now make everything the old masters wrote look mawkish and overwrought Today's "patient etherized upon a table" is tomorrow's "O little fire-folk sitting on the stair!"

      I'm not sure I'd say "What is grief but love persevering?" is a *perfect* line but it's a very good line It does exactly what it needs to do in that scene and it gives the actor exactly what he needs

      Can't help but notice that folks I've seen make fun of it are people who generally take a dim view of being earnest. I'm tired of cynical. I want earnest. The show delivers on a human subject that television, including the kind referenced on that show, often shies away from.

      I just think some of them are funny. “What is good grief but Lucy taking away the football at the last second” is my fave. Doesn’t mean the original isn’t also great.

      You can poke fun without being a prick Some people are capable of it, some people aren't Some people have the same spark that Real Pietro did with Wanda and some people are cruising for a scarlet energy blast to the chest
