No question here; only a thank-you. It was Brick that made me want to be a screenwriter: I saw that noir world and heard that dialogue snapping with rhythm and style and damn I wanted it. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, I...wrotemyownnoirscriptthatwouldprobablyconstituteplagiarism, but AFTER THAT I found some originality. That originality led to film school, which led to internships, which led to representation, and now I find myself in Hollywood, with my own projects in the works at studios and companies I never thought I'd see from a passing car, let alone wander around after my own meetings.
And it all started with Brick, the cool little detective story that opened my eyes. Hell of a thing to spring on a guy, indeed.
So, as a token of my appreciation for lighting the fuse that led to where I am now, I'll do what my username suggests; my way of saying thanks. I'll be first in line for Looper and I'll always hold Brick and The Brothers Bloom in the highest regard. Keep being awesome, Mr. Johnson.
