I told her that I believe we're entering a new era where the next generation of screenwriters must write at a more heightened level of craftsmanship than ever before simply because of the competition (and the fact that we already have a century of filmmaking behind us). We have to impress the reader with the confidence of our skill, that we are devoted students of craft. Shit sells only if you're in the fertilizing business.Mystery Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486331815227364944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1155559588152328882006-08-14T05:46:00.000-07:002006-08-14T05:46:00.000-07:00I always love hearing these kinds of stories.

Well, at least the football was entertaining.<BR/><BR/>I have a hilarious spec script for MAGNUM P.I. in which the characters of Apollo and Zeus (the dobermans) are revealed as aliens from the distant planet Murgatroid. You might also be pleased to see that the red Ferrari has been written out and replaced with a more fuel efficient hybrid vehicle, the result of reverse engineering an alien dog "biscuit." It's funnier than it sounds, believe me.<BR/><BR/>I haven't heard much from Orson Welles lately, so I'll bet we could get him for a song as he's the only actor that can properly play the voice of Robin Masters. <BR/><BR/>And, sadly, Tom Selleck has to lose the mustache due to the colonoscopy-gone-bad cliff-hanger ending.<BR/><BR/>(Maybe you were right: don't try this at homeā¦)Richard Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094016831874148306noreply@blogger.com
