Creative Spark: Eric Roth 

Distraction-free editor and IBM Model M keyboard. This man is not behind. He is so much ahead we can't recognize it yet.

Seems like a salt of the earth kind of guy. Down to earth, genuine, no bull. I come back here regularly.

Top 5 screenwriters of all time.

I just watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Thank you. Such a tender story.

It's something a lot of us, command line users, are familiar with. That's why Linux is so popular. No fancy UI, no distractions. It's a matter of "getting to the point". Loved it. :)

LOVE how he chooses to stick with what works for him 😊

Absolutely love this one, I think Roth's technique and process may be the best that I have seen so far.

This video will be my anti-procrastination anti-indiscipline *pill.* Daily, maybe.

You can print to file, create a virtual LPT port to print into a flat text file. Done it before to extract data from old MS-DOS POS systems.

Thank you for Forrest Gump!

Three books a week is absolutely insane, I don´t get how people can read so fast. Yes there is skimming or skipping, but those techniques don´t park anything in my long-term memory.

SO GOOD! Man, I love his writing. Thank you for the video.

A real IBM buckling-spring keyboard. That's what I'm using as I type this.

Gold.

Inspirational!

Baeutiful and honest documentary.

"I use MS DOS over Windows XP because it's unhackable" Meawhile the hackers: "We will see about that"

Best episode! #IMHO

I wish Eric Roth good luck on turning Frank Herbert's DUNE into a film-able opus, maybe two or three films... give or take; With Denis Villeneuve and Brian Herbert, I really think he will get it right.

this dude is going to write the new movie adaption for DUNE

"The truth is if I was to really analyze myself, I'm probably a frustrated novelist. But never really had the guts to write a novel." Ouch.

I love the figures on the book-shelf (3:55) , where can I buy it?

MOST INTERESTING PART(for me)---> When he bought the picture and the ASTRONAUT died the next day.... If that didn't get your attention I really don't know...

'finally know who you are, well, you know, as a Writer (: Thank s for posting this Eric.

I'm definitely saddened that he didn't return for Dune part 2, but I have no doubt that Denis and Jon will succeed artistically with Mr. Roth's blessing.

I really wish I could find that software.

Six scripts nominated for best picture. Was good friends with Jim Morrison in film school. Got completely ripped off by Bernie Madoff!

Have to admit, his name never really hit my radar until learning just now that he will be penning the script for Denis Villeneuve's Dune. Well that's two home runs from Legendary and that can't be all bad, at all. :)

I can't believe he still uses a DOS program.

🐐

DOS!!!!

Es Como usar una máquina de escribir además le de vida a una pc por más tiempo buena idea encima gana dinero con eso genial

Please someone help me to find that software. "Movie Master" which is Eric Roth using.

Beautiful. The wallet given to the actor, wow.

I enjoyed this one. Please can you make a Creative Spark Video with Woody Allen?

there is no need to rush upgrading to windows11 i see.

He was friends with The Door's Jim Morrison? Is that true? Anyone? Sounds like a smart, really down to Earth guy.

An IBM Model M !!!!!!

Just unplug the network card, and that's that, a computer not connected to the internet, no need to do so on an old computer, if it's not connected to the internet in any way and it has no wireless module then its physically imposible for it to connect, then add a printer that works by cable with no wireless connections and done, air tight. I'm trying to sell old computers myself in fact... and no one wants them 😅

Someone tell him that he can increase program memory limits on windows xp, then his DOS text editor won't run out of memory

Damn, where the hell would you even get Movie Master these days?

What writing program is here using?

"Religion and the Decline of Magic"

I only do 2 to 4 hours a day. Usually 2 to 3.

He likes his ellipses....

real men use an ibm model m

да всем пофиг.

Please, I want your honest opinion people: did you really like the script of the new Dune? Cause in all fairness, I am sorry to say that I did not

Such a shame that the Dune's script ended up being so horrible

All I see is another Boomer unwilling to change with the times.
