Shane Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (“Style”)
Black has a recognizable writing style where he often adds comments (referred to as “Shane Blackisms”) and jokes about the situations taking place in the story. He also sometimes directs comments at studio executives and certain script readers. Examples of these include:
From Lethal Weapon:
EXT. POSH BEVERLY HILLS HOME - TWILIGHT The kind of house that I'll buy if this movie is a huge hit. Chrome. Glass. Carved wood. Plus an outdoor solarium: A glass structure, like a greenhouse only there's a big swimming pool inside. This is a really great place to have sex. -
“First Run,” as you say.
What.

gun crazy
I’m not gonna lie to you.
One of my very few regrets in life is never having been film-noir-ingly betrayed by a beautiful but duplicitous gun moll.
Come to think of it, I’m not sure I’ve ever so much as met a moll.
Really, truthfully, as I sit here today, I don’t think I even know what a “moll” actually is. Or does.
Jesus. What the fuck have I done with my life?

HARRY:A picture of me?

PERRY:No! The definition of the word "idiot!" Which you *fucking ARE*!

Saturday TV Funhouse - “Kidder, Downey & Heche” (December 13, 2000)
Remember when we were pretty positive we’d completely lost Robert Downey, Jr. forever?
I’m so glad we didn’t completely lose Robert Downey, Jr. forever.
(Weird how this already feels like a million years ago to me)

At its most crass level, an email sabbatical is when you make all of your email bounce. But you can’t simply turn off your email without pissing off countless people in your life. Thus, an email sabbatical is actually a series of steps to let you step away from your inbox guilt-free and return to an empty inbox upon your return.
How to Take an Email Sabbatical
As danah boyd prepares for her impending parenting leave1, it’s as good a time as any to revisit her thoughtful classic about email sabbaticals.
Still inspires me.

Yay, danah! ↩

Congrats.
Front row left, directly above topherchris. A lot has happened between then and now, but I’ll always have fond memories of this trip. Congrats to the team.
I’ll echo the congrats. Congrats, team.
Also, while I realize there’s absolutely no way that’s Eric Wareheim photobombing in the middle of the picture, I just SO wish that were Eric Wareheim photobombing in the middle of the picture

Edwin Birdsong - “Cola Bottle Baby”
Wow, so that’s where that sample comes from.
And, my goodness, what a very very long sample that turns out to have been.
Yikes.

“…and I’ll sing once more.”
When Captain von Trapp walks into the parlor and starts singing along with his children, I cry like a little girl.
Because, apparently, I’m not actually dead inside.
(Poor Baroness. Never stood a chance.)

The Sound of Music (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just noted in passing:
- “The Sound of Music Theme”
- “Maria”
- “I Have Confidence”
- “Sixteen Going on Seventeen”
- “My Favorite Things”
- “Do-Re-Mi”
All six songs were introduced in the first sixty minutes of The Sound of Music.
If, like me, you’re not a skilled mathematician, let me share some casual cipherin’ that this averages out to one classic standard of popular music per ten filmed minutes.
That’s…insane.
