    One of my biggest regrets in life is studying storytelling and scriptwriting because it made me aware of the freaking save the cat thing and ruined movies (and a lot of modern storytelling) forever for me. Well, “biggest regret” may be a bit of hyperbole, but you get it.

    I can’t watch a movie that is following the model non-cynically, and since most movies do follow it, well…

    It’s also made me dislike when an industry tries to push that there’s an objectively correct way of doing something in an artform, but that’s another story entirely.
