Screenwriting MoFo’s Hollywood Trends that Need to End
After seeing Cinematical’s Hollywood Trends That Need to End, I decided that they’d left off some things that I think need to end as well.
Hollywood Trend #1 that needs to end - Singers trying to act/actors trying to sing
I never needed to see Jamie Foxx singing on screen. And I really didn’t need to hear […]
Day 45 - back on the wagon
Yes, that’s right I have made it back onto the wagon, turnip truck, etc. - whatever you call it I am back on it.
More importantly I am up to page 47. I spent the past 30 minutes writing and gained 2 pages. Two pages of glistening beauty. Oh wait, that was that magazine I was […]
Day 43 - falling off the wagon
Falling off the wagon sounds painful. You might be surprised to know that I have indeed fallen off the wagon at this point, having not written anything on the script since last week. So, I can tell you that falling off the wagon does not hurt.
What hurts is planning on hoisting yourself back up onto […]
I’ll take Unlikely Pairings for $800…
We won’t discuss the fact that I was reading an article from MSN on Ben Stiller.
And we won’t discuss music video directors directing films.
Or that Ben Stiller’s new indevelopment movie, The Deep, seems like complete and total rubbish. (” …tells the nightmarish story of a man whose battle with a parking ticket gets him sucked […]
Germans don’t heart Scientology
Possibly the funniest story on Variety.com (at least to me) is that Germany won’t allow the latest Tom Cruise blockbuster Valkyrie to film at German military sites.
Who knew that Germans weren’t down with alien worshipping? The best part of the story is this quote:
In 2005 Cruise referred to psychiatry — which Scientology rejects — as […]
Is this really the kind of film America wants to see?
From Hollywood Reporter.com:
Kate Hudson is set to star opposite Dane Cook in Lionsgate Films’ “Bachelor No. 2,” helmed by Howard Deutch.Production is slated to begin in August in Boston. A third-quarter 2008 release is planned.Jordan Cahan’s screenplay centers on Tank, a man hired to take girls out on terrible dates to prompt them to return […]
Day 37 - I’m at the ‘clue to resolution’
Yes, that’s right kiddies, I’ve made it to page 45, where there is supposed to be a clue to the resolution. And by god, there is a clue to the resolution on my page 45.
And here’ s my new thought. I need to write in a cameo for LonelyGirl15. Seems Lonelygirl15 is getting some mad […]
Dakota Fanning like so totally reads my site
I’m so totally stoked that Dakota Fanning is obviously reading this site. In case you missed the commenter on my previous post, here it is…
new study just released found that people who bash Dakota Fanning have small genitalia.
Wow, and look at all that humanitarian work she is doing now. Helping out with medical studies measuring […]
Spoofs, remakes and other wrongs in Hollywood
This has Ben Stiller written all over it….New Line just bought a “spoof” from Benderspink under the name of “The $40,000 Man.” Benderspink has been on my radar for some time now. They seem to be the biggest lovers of stinky Hollywood shite. They will be the first place I send my script to.
Last week […]
Day 35 - back on track
After looking through my script and fixing my spacing errors in my dialogue, I’m back up to 41 pages. I admit I was hoping that it would be a bigger jump, but apparently I’ll have to actually write dialogue to accomplish that. Can you imagine?
I write better with music on, so I just turned on […]
