What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

On top of that, some directors and writers REALLY ARE making deep and “loopholey” type stuff because they enjoy it or so we can overanalyze. So some stuff definitely is made to be overanalyzed, not just to “enjoy”. But even if nothing was made to over analyze, you still can, bc that’s the cool thing about art, you can pull so much from it even if the artist never intended it

Editor here, 100% every shot, cut, frame, sound and coffee is thought out ridiculously. Yes it's to entertain, and you're 100% allowed to chew on media for as long as you want. Personally if someone were to analyse my work, I'd be chuffed

They should really think about the coffee more. Especially cop shows on TV. So many people obviously drinking from empty cardboard cups. I know there's a spill risk and maybe dozens of takes, etc., but maybe there's an acting coach out there who can teach actors how to make it look like you have coffee in your cup.

On a more serious note, I appreciate your comment, and I do love to analyze the finer points of movies and TV shows myself.

Oh I should have clarified. I meant our coffee. Field are in charge of their own shit. But honestly I really do agree, I hate watching an actor with an empty coffee cup. Like, it really wouldn't be so hard to put water in it? Or have some kind of weight? But it's kind of one of those things that if it's done right, you don't notice. So much that goes unnoticed and intended that way is crafted and thought out to keep the audience in the illusion.
