Your hands look massive. A pen probably feels like a tooth pick in those mits

I absolutely hate this book. Richard is the worst protagonist I have ever encountered.

Basically it's a story about someone not respecting the boundaries of another person. Sam I am really needs a little percussive behavior modification 🤬🤬🤬👿 Whatever happened to NO MEANS NO?

Santa was on his own naughty list. I didn't catch this as a kid.

They both shared the problem of being half witch

great video! You convinced me to buy it

Not funny.

As for copyright infringement, well... You'll have to be really creative to figure a way around that, because copyright laws are... oppressive and draconian nowadays.

One important thing to keep in mind when you're writing a parody, and that is to make the audience of the source material think: ''Hmmm... Can you imagine if something or a character says something like that?'' For example, in Star Wars, Darth Vader was always wearing a suit and mask that has such small space, that he compared it to a coffin. In Spaceballs, Dark Helmet attempts the different version of Vader's breathing, only for him to take off the mask and say: ''I can't breathe in this thing!'' This is how you make the audience think: ''Can you imagine if Darth Vader said something like that in Star Wars?'' while also being funny at the same time.

Thanks! I read and listen to the book every day and Sol's words helps me a lot. I am writing my second book and I love that his advices are so concrete. I think it is because he is an editor, the book is so good. I also like Strunk & White: "Elements of style." And Stephen King:On writing.

I started this book yesterday on audible and I’m about 1 hr 30 mins in and im already gonna restart it. I found it kind of confusing at first just because I’m not awesome at picturing landscapes in my head(terrible quality for a reader, I know) but it’s so good and enjoyable to listen to and I’m sooo excited to hear where it goes.

If I am being honest I didn't like the book. The first 150 pages where beautifully written, all the ideas and concepts seemed really promising to an awesome ending but sadly I got disappointed. As soon as [SPOILER!!!!] Piranesi found the old entries of his journal it was just left to the reader to read his journals inside his journals. Like having to consume the same medium as the medium you are currently consuming. That way it is not Piranesi that discovered this revelation but us the reader and somewhat we didn't get the full story of how Piranesi felt during that. Also the setup that was built the first half of the book with the whole story of an alternated world and the flow of energy and the hidden knowledge which had its climax during the meeting with the prophet did not get used in the end of the book. You could argue that it was intentionally that the reader is not given an explanation of the events and everything that happened in relation to the world and to the knowledge, because Piranesi also does not understand these things, but an argument against that is the poorly written ending and the appearance of 16. The character of 16 is so poorly written I just wanted the book to finish. The whole mystery of 16 comes down to oh well it is just a police officer and Piranesi just believes her. In the first half of the book Piranesi has a lot of principles even with interacting with the other, but it seems that he looses them as soon as he finds out about the other not being his friends, which to me makes no sense since he didn't trust the other from the beginning of the book. Now you could say he lost his mind reading his old journal entry, but then again he made precautions to not go mad, which worked. Then just trusting this police officer is completely against his principles and makes no sense at all. Also the idea that different personalities live inside of the person that is in the other world Piranesi is really good but not well executed. I think that if the book would have been longer more ideas could have been formulated better and the change of writing style makes it seem that the author kinda hurried to get the book to an end. Platos cave story but the main character sufferes from a drug induced psychosis and is found by a police officer.

Watching this in 2024. I’ve started the book and kept feeling like I needed a little more context to really get into it. I normally like to avoid knowing much about a book because so many times there’s giant spoilers. (Here’s looking at the jacket of seveneves spoiling 2/3 of the book) but with this one I needed something. This video was it. Thank you!

You are obviously proud of how good you are at pronouncing Piranesi the sort of proper way )

it really helped me a lot with my collage work !!!!

I just picked up this book!

Enjoyed that.

How accurate! 😂 Thank you ~K

Thanks for posting!

I needed this video. Thank you!

No

At 2:16 I couldn't read the label unless I paused the video.

Also this San Francisco stage experience, which may be unique: jamiejobbbackstagepass.blogspot.com/2019/07/stand-up-drama-writing-on-our-feet.html

I have an idea to take a popular novel and change the characters all into animals and follow original story but with animals. Would that break the copy right laws.

It's a real good time, 100%, but a close contender is Scrooge (1970) 👌

Comet and Clarice's Father are also terrible role models. Probably even if the fathers had any compassion, they were too concerned about their own reputation to stand up for the misfits. The only ones with any compassion are the females - Mrs. Donner, Mrs. Santa, and Clarice. Stereotypical 1960's - the mothers cared about the insecurities of the children, but the fatherly figures were expected to be tough and marginalize anyone that didn't fit in.

YOU ARE THE BRUTE SQUAD! HAHAHHA

you and i could sit and quote this movie forever, and it would be great and hilarious!

Really enjoying the video! Could you elaborate a bit on making conflict not like a tennis match, going back n forth? Isn't most conversation like that? I'm not sure what the alternative is (someone rambling long time, or one person not able to respond to a quip made)

Watching this at the tail end of 2023 and wondering if I should reconsider the dnf.

I am reading Midnight Sun right now and it is the best of the series because Edwards perspective is so entertaining.

if you enjoy prose its a feast, if you like a story...forget it

About to start this for book club and found your video!

Kenny, the movie is clearly about true love in whatever form it takes even when it may appear not to be true love because the only thing getting in the way of true love is the denial of it. It is the lesson given to the sick boy and for which on an unconscious level he comes to realize, embrace, and desire. The initial transmission of this truth is often learned from the grandparents as the parents are generally preoccupied with survival rather than the permanency of love.

..such a wonderful movie. A very rare instance where I liked the movie more than the book. The movie ending with 'as you wish' is so sad for some reason. It's like a nod to all the grandfathers we eventually lose, but we keep those everlasting memories when he read a very special book to us.

No JESUS No PEACE

It’s 80 people. Have you not seen anywhere around 80 people all at once? Apologies if you were one of those homeschooled kids

Loved this video.

As a hard core fan of both Severus Snape and Mister Darcy, I am in love with the idea of the mash up. Be hanged all of the naysayers!!! Am I a sick woman, prone to sadomasochism? Probably, but I like me some devilish men and the two of them as one? Chefs 💋

Who doesn't absolutely LOVE this movie? Yes, it will outlive death!!

Thanks. I have many sketches on my channel. Check it out

I came across this after reading a post on Stein's Top 13. I enjoyed your video review and would love to know more about the Triage Revision! Thanks

This book just didn't do it for me, I read it because of the hype but was left very disappointed

Love your whole intro! Subbed!

Hey Kenny I just came across ur page brother I’m thankful to see someone is giving some direction in regards to young people starting their comedy journey. I am currently 19 and wrapping up my general education at a community college. I want to be a writer in the comedic field and I’m trying anyway to get experience. What classes should I take in college ? Or what avenues should I pursue to maximize my time and get my journey on the road ? I find myself writing actual stories and comedic shorts, what ways can I get those pushed ?

Omnis Vir Lupus! I’m on my second read through (well listen through) within a matter of months! Finished dark age a few weeks ago and went straight into my second listen. Now on golden son for the second time. This has risen to one of my favourite series of all time

Great video / lesson. Thanks!

I loved it. I had a dream that my father who doesn't speak to me anymore (my mum doesn't allow him) could meet me in the great south western halls. He listened to me and we talked, and then he had to go back. I want to go back there in my dreams.
