    I wonder at what point all the Hollywood script writing seminars will shift from 'make sure you Refuse the Call while you Save the Cat' to 'just watch every episode of Stranger Things and zero episodes of anything made by J J Abrams and you will know. In your heart. You will know.'

        I really wanna understand how 'Refusing the Call' ever became a thing

        "Right, so, you've got only 120 minutes to tell our story, what's the very first thing we must do?"

        "Grab the audience with some action? Establish our protagonist?"

        "Of course not. You want to spend 90 of those minutes watching the protagonist grumble about their boring life and watch paint dry while repeatedly refusing to do anything interesting. That way, the audience will really WANT them to act in the last 30 minutes!"
