16. A Small Thing That I Enjoy

The Title Drop.

If a line of dialogue is the title of the episode, movie or book, it obviously must have some great significance. If it sounds completely random, that just means the true meaning of the title has yet to be revealed. So when a character is heard using the title in dialogue, the audience sits up and takes notice, because the scriptwriter has just planted a neon sign that flashes THIS CONVERSATION IS IMPORTANT.

For your homework tonight, I want you to list some famous ones. Or ones not-so-famous. Go ahead and give me the cheesy ones, too.

I also like knowing the meaning behind a site's title. What's the story? Why did you choose that? What sorta raintree ruckus is going on there?

And when someone does the backstory and [blog] title drop? Swoon. Sorry to spoil it, but I just subscribed to a new blog and the final line in the latest post just really pleased me, you know?

By the way, if you haven't already: leave Substack.
