"Confucius say: lovers in triangle, not on square."

i just hope How I Met Your Mother ends with Ted walking into the room where his kids are and being like ‘who the fuck are you?’ and then just tackles Bob Saget to the ground.

Well, in many ways I think the less said the better when you are walking in those fields. If you want to scare people, you do so more effectively with the implied than with the shown, very often, in the same way that a noise in the dark is frightening because it engages the imagination. An incomplete story or a thing incompletely shown more readily begets fear, terror, and a sense of danger.

So you use the tools of cinema and storytelling to set the scale of events. You show them a vast space. You give them a great noise. You let someone speak about terrifying ideas, colossal spans of time; things that are not necessarily big spatially or temporally, but can be big in their significance. The ability to make blasphemous alterations in the human essence, the human spirit, the human body. Those are horrific things. The ability to alter your memories, your soul, your character, your nature, to hack inside your head, to tamper with the input of your senses—those are terrifying things.

You set that stage and then you signify what’s happening in a way that allows the imagination of the audiences to complete the experience. And you don’t over tell, you don’t over show.
