Marty Supreme Script - Read this opening and let's discuss greatness...

Made a thread about this last week. Took my daughter and taking my son and his gf today. This movie is utterly compelling about a narcissistic, ego-manacle, train wreck in the making, brilliant frustrated talented character.

This is a script about... a guy who plays PING PONG. PING PONG!

Go write a fascinating character study of a guy who plays ping pong. I dare you.

Maybe I'm fascinated by this because I discovered this guy's biography 10 years ago and pitched it to my manager, who hated it.

In fairness, Josh Safdie didn't make a biography so much as the character and that world as a jumping off point for a great film.

But seriously, read the first 7 pages, up until he gets to the ping pong and let's discuss why Marty doesn't bother to save the damn cat and why audiences love him for it.
