Sad to say, if you're tapped out then that's your call.
Some people look at leftovers and plate scrapings and call it trash, while others see it as material for composting. And I can always make a gross science experiment with mold for my kids. Set it out on the back porch and see if the possums or raccoons get it first. I can assess portion control for future meals, as well as content.
What else can I do with one man's table trash... ? Hmm... ?
Regarding dialogue -- I thought mostly the dialogue in Black Swan was lifeless, half way through it occured to me that it could just have easily been a silent movie with occasional text postings of dialogue. Now, I saw Black Swan as a dvd so maybe the charmlessness of the dialogue was more obvious -- come to think of it, in theaters the sound quality is usually so terrible that dialogue is largely missed, anyway. Anyway, Black Swan is fading from my memory and I wonder if part of the reason is the lack of sparkling dialogue.
The movie has sort of faded from my memory as well, but I did still enjoy it and the script.
I don't think the dialogue stuck out to me as being lifeless. Maybe a bit minimalistic, but i think that sort of gives it the darker and a little bit of a European feel...which I prefer.

I had learned from the interview that heretic posted that the research done proved ballerinas to be very non-verbal. I cannot confirm this, but it does make sense because they act out their feelings largely through their dance. Of course there are always exceptions, but here's the interview again for those who can't make it through the deep of this thread anymore. BTW, if you open with Google Chrome, it shouldn't do the loopidy-loop it does in Firefox.
Frogs. People. Planets. Ecosystems. Economies. Governments. History. Home construction. Screenplay format. Filmmaking process.
You name it and I've likely poked around some in that field. I specialize in generalizing.
I'm not so much interested in appreciating any one story as I am in understanding how SOME stories are constructed so that I may more easily template off of that to better build my own!
"This is a great sandwich!" "Great! How can I make one, too? What are the variables involved? Is yellow mustard as good as fancy? Will provolone substitute for American cheese?"
That sorta stuff.
"If the alligators increase their population by 5% how will that impact the snowy egret population?" "If this planet's atmosphere reflects light waves within this spectrum what elemental compositions can I determine?" "Is the 99.99% of missing dark matter in our universe on the other side of the expansion envelope consuming anti-time causing our universe of time and matter to expand?" "If I find out what B-actor is available can I tailor a marketable screenplay just for him?"
