- How the HELL have I not noticed that in all the years I've been watching "The Abyss". How? HOW?!
00:00Replying to @BittrScrptReadrBro there’s a moment where there’s full-on *two lens wipes* in the middle of a scene, and I never noticed it. Curious if you’ll see them now that I’ve told you (hell, maybe you already knew about it?) To be clear: I mean a literal hand comes into frame and wipes the cam lens. - This shot from the opening of "Lethal Weapon" looks like the stunt performer is landing on a car. But she's actually landing on a huge painted canvas that's stretched over an airbag. I've just found this out and it's blown my mind. That's amazing ingenuity.
- I don't care that he's 78. Seeing Harrison Ford dressed as Indy again makes me all warm and gooey inside.
- I wrote that to entertain myself while rewriting a script then thought… Screw it, I’m leaving it in.
- It’s weird. I’m 45 years old and I still find writing sexy stuff in scripts a bit embarrassing. Like my mom’s going to catch me doing it or something.
- Ricky Gervais sums up Twitter outrage in less than 60 seconds. It's a PERFECT analogy and a brilliant joke.
- We lost our beautiful 13yr old girl 2 weeks ago. Going to be strange not to have her around us today. So, in her honour, I'll be peeing in the living room and begging for treats below the dinner table. It's what she would have wanted. #JoinIn
- I just told my girlfriend that Betty White has passed away. She said "Who?" So, I'd like to announce that I'm now single again.
- Well... That's just blown my mind. I've NEVER seen anything like this. It's comedy. It's performance art It's painfully intimate. It's weirdly heartbreaking. Quite frankly, it's astonishing. #BoBurnham #INSIDE
