Save the Cat

“Give me the same thing, only different!”
This line is referenced over and over by Snyder, spoken by some CEO during a conversation on film. It indicates that this book is not about producing a well-thought out, creative, intriguing work, but rather that the author likes money and is letting you in on ‘tips' to earn money like he does. He boasts about being a successful screenwriter but only two of his films have ever been made, and both of them were received terribly. All my thoughts were vindicated by a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgO2XrKaFA8) that definitely explains the problems with this bundle of dead tree far better than I could. Go watch it!
