Does anyone write dialogue anymore?
While I have no complaint of Cusack's work in this film, I am amazed by the dialogue littered with chronological grammatical inconsistency.
Most glaring: "ok" is not ok until after Teddy Roosevelt's presidency.
Use of "stuff" as the descriptor of a list of items and "nuts" meaning "lack of sanity" are unforgivable in a period piece; In a film concerning writers, a new level of unintended horror.
This completely broke the fourth wall and pulled me out of the world of the film.
Bad form!
And please explain why the CG raven morphing in the end credits? Were we trying to attract the young viewers at the END of the film?
