Bits and pieces

Shatner went on to do a good acting job on Boston Legal.

I suspect by then he was at a point in his life and career where he wanted to actually apply his craft and quit coasting (and he was likely energized by the role).

William Shatner in the Casablanca remake.

Of all... the... gin joints... in all the towns... in all... the world, she... walks into... ... mine!

Can you hear why it never made it to the screen?

I love this idea. Absolutely love it.

What if he spots a gremlin on the plane that Ilsa is leaving on?

Are any of these replies talking about building a story as I was?

I'm sorry, but there was a HUGE chunk of context missing from your OP. How much context? Like all of it!

No one expected the nuts and bolts to be literally nuts and bolts... so we had to bear with this somehow.

Are you trying to put a method for making a story together, or making a story together?

How the hell did you all take the minimalist of thread openings and turn it into three pages of posts about BEARS?

Given the minimalism, how could that NOT happen!?

Writing exercise: start with bits and pieces, an outline, a few words, ideas. A few characters.

And then introduce the rabid, hungry polar bear that just escaped from the zoo.

Go.

Frank and Jill were walking down the road. It was a crisp Autumn night, stars glittering like a sea of pearls above their heads. Jill leaned her head on-

AAAAHHHHHH!

The bear is here to help drag your story off to a cave to be chewed on while it whimpers for mercy.

2 things.

1. That's exactly how it feels for my reimagining of Ria, and

2. It's snowing here so the possibility of the threat of being eaten by a polar bear that YOU threatened me with a day or so ago seems immanently more realistic

I don't threaten people with the bears! As a seal human being, I know the agonies of bear maulings, and would never inflict that upon another creature.

It's not MY fault they broke containment

There's a not-insignifcant part of me that hopes Hawaiian centipedes join the rampage with the polar bears.

Real SyFy channel level nonsense going on in that sentence. Very Sharktopus vibes.

How dare you dismiss Sharknado like it never happened! I've never been so offended!

And have you seen those things! They're huge and there's usually more than one! Makes my skin crawl

We all know that Sharknado 6 was the only actual event that occurred, the rest were just inventions by bored writers. Stop living in your fantasy-land BS
