  • Watch them yourself, no one else’s opinion matters. But mine is actually correct.

    Edit: they are admittedly very different movies, both really well done. But TGR has absolutely epic production that’s not necessarily obvious on the surface. The big fist fight, for instance – the moment when Leslie stage dives is choreographed with so much detail, and most of the stunts in that shot are tossed aside like croutons, but absolutely make the scene.

    To say nothing of the best pie fight in screen history.

    And: more brandy!

    I have the ECO, with an EF nib. It’s not scratchy at all – it’s almost ghost like if you want to make very fine lines. At max pressure it’s about the same size as a roller gel.

    It’s the only fountain pen I have (I have an ancient set of adjustable dipping pens from my great grandpa’s engineering toolkit, not sure if that counts), so this isn’t an expert opinion or anything.

    I mostly write in a moleskine, which isn’t supposed to be great for fountain pens but works fine for me.

    Edit: just to say, I got the plunger stuck at the bottom, and was about to toss it when I found out that there’s tutorials on how to completely disassemble and reassemble the ECO, and forums where people talk about the exact problem I had. It’s super easy to maintain. Reminds me a bit of owning a VW – you think “I can’t possibly fix this,” and then you start tinkering and it’s fixed before dinner. Except the pen takes about 5 minutes.
