      "My mum could have written better coverage – and she doesn’t know whether she’s taking a sh!t or having her hair cut." That cracked me up. Thank you.

      the fact that they use BRAVE as a pix nearly negates the article

      I had to look up the word "iteration" to figure out he's using it wrong, which is odd because he repeats (ha!)the word about 50 times. Beyond that, his ideas are unoriginal pastiches of overused elements...and he's proud of it.

    3. rywold

      He's not using iteration wrong. It's common lingo in tech circles and since he's talking about Pixar, I'd imagine that's the phrase they use (especially the tech side of Pixar) instead of revision or drafts or w/e. The article has value, if you're interested in a collaborative work and an ongoing feedback loop. Thanks for sharing the link.

      Found Helgeland and Frank both generous and insightful. And Kaufman's heartfelt cry to follow your idiosyncratic bliss just rocked. Looking forward to the others.
