12) Suits

18th May, 1996 (Saturday)

Ambrose Stirling (POV)

KNOCK-KNOCK

“COME IN!” I called out.

And in he came, my boy… all grown up. Wearing a suit of all things.

Damn it.

For context, whenever he wants to discuss anything work-related, he always wears a suit. No exceptions.

He started two years ago, wanting to ‘dress the part’ or whatever. I still can’t make sense of half of his ramblings som...

11) Scent of a Woman

MC (POV)


“OUT OF ORDER? I’LL SHOW YOU OUT OF ORDER!” He reacts passionately, as he proceeds to stand up from his chair.

His face masked with fury and indignation as he held up his walking stick above the desk. “You don’t know w2hat outta order is, Mr. Trask! I’ll show you but I’m too old, I’m too tired, I’m too fucking blind. If I were the man I was 5 years ago...” He proceeds to bang his hand against the desk, righteous fury etched out o...

10) Knives Out

MC (POV)

THUMP – THUMP – THUMP

What the...

Who is crazy enough to break their wrists against the door when there is a perfectly good doorbell?

“RICKY! OPEN UP! IT’S ME!

Ah of course, Missy.

“COMING!” I yell back as I hastily put on a shirt before opening the door.

Hey, don’t judge me, it’s my last year at the suite, considering I’ll have to give it up when I turn 16. I can roam around half naked if I feel like it.

I ...

9) The Devil's Advocate

Ambrose Stirling (POV)

…

"So…"

"Hn?"

"It's good."

All I got was a deadpan from my son.

"Good? Really? That's all you have to say? You are Ambrose Stirling; you've produced over 30 feature length films… and 'good' is all you have to say?" He narrowed his eyes at me. "Mind elaborating a bit?"

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in, "Well, it's really impressive Ricky. Amazing to be honest. I'm very, very proud of you. But you hav...

8) The Social Network

MC (POV)


"-creation of the three-strip Technicolor camera provided a momentous boost to the films in 1930s. This era that continued till the 50s was defined by the three-strip Technicolor. Technicolor could now offer studios a full range of colors as opposed to the red-green spectrum of previous films. Now, can anyone here tell me how?" Mrs. Joanne gazed towards the students, her eagle-sharp eyes searching for hands in the air.

When naturally, she caught mine.

"Yes Ri...

7) Monsters University

Ambrose Stirling (POV)

“We have received confirmation from Dildon regarding the post production of ‘Fixer Upper’. He’ll finish it in time to submit the final version to ‘Toronto’. Now, Stephanie here,” Higgs pointed at a brunette sitting at other end of the conference room, “-recommends we opt for a limited theatrical release at first. You know, keep it on the down low for a few week. Then we build on the nominations from ‘Toronto’ as a marketing push, you know, that...

6) The Interview

Elizabeth Daley (POV)

I love my job. Really. No matter how many times I have yelled at the Almighty about how much I hate it, I don’t.

But there are some instances where, being in charge of some of the buffoons we’ve got here, it gets tiring after a while.

Not that it’s been a while now, has it? Why I remember the ceremony like it was a few weeks away. Mainly cause it was.

But being made the Dean, of the most reputable and distinguished School of Cinematic Arts i...

5) Limitless

MC (POV)

The Cadillac came to a smooth halt outside the office building.

"We are here Mr. Stirling." The driver said, turning around to the backseat where I was reading a brochure.

I looked up at him, "Please, call me Ricky. Mr. Stirling is my dad." The words came out of my mouth as I prepared to disembark from the car.

The moment I opened the door- "Actually, I just call him Sir." Mister… whoever the hell he was spoke up.

I sighed, "I bet you do." I replied, c...

4) Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood

Wyatt Harrington (POV)

THUNK – THUNK!

The dull, heavy sound had been playing out for several minutes now. It seemed to be coming from the Astro Turf.

Sigh, now what new spectacle is little Richmond the cause of? Perhaps, it’s something harmless, such as going back to his roots and polishing his football skills. But then again, knowing Ricky, it could be anything.

I still remember the time he built a remote-control car out of an assortment of items, and it actually ...

3) City Lights

8:47

I cast a quick look at the rustic Grandfather Clock, before seating myself at the coffee table. It was Sunday morning and neither me nor my father were in any rush today.

“Morning kiddo.” Dad seemed to be overtly cheerful today.

“Good morning, and please, please, don’t call me that.” I put some emphasis on the second ‘please’ making sure he knew I wasn’t exactly thrilled at being called kiddo.

He glanced at me, and scoffed, “No chance there.” 2023-08-31 13:41:38 +0000 UTC View Post

2) Dead Poets Society

MC (POV)

Sigh, what time is it yet? I ponder at my question, before I pick my head off the desk and turn my wrist to glance at the wristwatch on my left wrist.

3:18

‘Fucking hell’. I curse in the confines of my mind. Time truly is a bitch you know? It flies by super-fast when you’re doing something engaging, something you’re genuinely interested in. But the moment, the tempo switches to something tediously mundane, all of a sudden, it practically comes to a halt.

1) Ready Player One

MC (POV)

What is the ultimate meaning of life? Is it to continue and evolve endlessly in a hopeless quest of survival through selective reproduction? Is it perhaps, to maximize happiness and minimize suffering of oneself and others? Or, maybe, life doesn’t have a predetermined purpose. And we as homo sapiens must create meanings and purposes through our various choices and actions.

But even that conclusion didn’t satisfy me. Nothing could. Not after witnessing the tragedy that...
