Truly love how you've taken the amalgamation of jeremies/kierans and applied it on current film writing/criticism. It applies across all creative industries, doesn't it? I'd actually had a paragraph on this in my first draft but ultimately cut it out for brevity:

"Beyond this false binary waits an unexplored territory where seemingly opposing methods could transform each other. What glorious monster of a performance might emerge if Strong's method work met Culkin's lightning-in-a-bottle spontaneity? What if we stopped with this middle-school lunch table division of the "try-hards" versus the "naturals" and recognized that both approaches get to the same destination—making us forget we're watching something constructed? Sadly, this possible collision of approaches never materializes because we've decided it must be either/or, never both."

Thank you as always for your immense and relentless support of my work. You're officially my film dad ❤️
