Daily Dialogue — April 22, 2018

“I don’t want to talk about time travel because if we start talking about it then we’re going to be here all day talking about it, making diagrams with straws.”

— Looper (2012), written by Rian Johnson

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Technobabble.

Trivia: The screenplay for this film was featured in the 2010 Black List.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is my favorite technobabble scene in this week’s roster of movies. Why? Because there is NO technobabble. And that’s a great takeaway for writers: If you can avoid technobabble, do it.
