If people want to hear stories, I'll tell a few that I like. Some personal, some not. I'll start with my fave Michael Jackson story which I wasn't present for but did hear Johnny Depp tell the story. Johnny Depp was offered the lifetime acheivement award by the Rotterdam film festival. He didn't really want to go but when they told him that Michael Jackson was going to present the award, he said 'sure'. Who can resist meeting royalty, the king of pop. Anyways, the festival date arrives and Johnny flies to Rotterdam for the closing night award and sure enough, Michael Jackson is there, so fucked up that he can barely shake hands. Well the moment comes for the lifetime acheivement award, and sure enough Michael Jackson wobbles out to the podium, picks up the statue and mutters into the microphone "Thank you very much. This is one of the great honors of my life". And then he stumbles offstage, failing to ever mention Johnny Depp. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1911613&forum_id=2#20345416) Date: March 30th, 2012 3:02 PM Author: razzle-dazzle claret round eye wait I feel like I've seen this on tv (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1911613&forum_id=2#20345426) Date: March 30th, 2012 3:17 PM Author: Red insanely creepy menage mental disorder Subject: Another story Not unless it was stolen from this event but I'll move onto another story. Heres a typical actress story. My wife manages actor and actresses. One Sunday morning, the phone rings at 5 AM. I pick it up wondering who has died when I hear a frantic woman's voice asking for my wife. I ask who's calling and its one of her clients, a working but B-list actress who made it mainly on her tits and first husband. I wake up my wife, hand her the phone, and listen to her side as she says "Hi. I understand this is a big problem but it's 5 am here and I don't know that there's anything I can do about this from here. You're going to have to fend for yourself but call me when you get there and let me know how it turned out". My wife hangs up the phone and I ask what that was about. Apparently the actress was in NYC at JFK airport and had decided to take a friend with her to France and the airline was going to bump her down from first class to business class if she wanted to sit with her friend. My favorite line of the exchange came after my wife said it's 5 am here. The actress said "well its 8 am here". And if it's 8 am in most actresses worlds, then it's 8 am everywhere.

And they're so fragile that they have to be pampered as well. But it's not true of all actors and actresses. Samuel L. Jackson is a great guy and understands how lucky he is to have gotten the breaks he got.

I always liked this story when it comes to narcissitic actors. The day after we first invaded Iraq(George Bush the First), Jeff Goldblum's manager arrived at his office at 10 am sharp to find a dishevelled and frantic Jeff Goldblum sitting outside his office door. Jeff had been up all night upset. They went inside and Jeff asked his manager, very concerned, 'So what affect is this war going to have on my career'. Jeff was worried that he looked Middle Eastern and would never be cast again.

On the last day of shooting of the horror film I wrote, one of the supporting actors, a legendary figure to some because of one role he played, didn't show up on time. He finally arrived on the set four hours late, tears streaming down his cheek, sobbing that his mother had died. Well we had to cancel production for the day and the producer called his agent to get the details so that we could file an insurance claim. Well, the agent, realizing that the claim was a problem, told the producer that the actor's mother had died 12 years ago. The actor had slipped off the coke wagon and had been binging for 48 hours straight.

Any tips? I love what I'm doing now, but I really enjoy writing funny shit and tend to make people laugh IRL with much ease. If you look at my FB and Twitter, it looks more like a writer for SNL/30Rockwhatnot (got friends involved in that type of show, so those are the exampels that come to mind) than a lawyer. Maybe I'm not as funny as I think, but I think I'm reasonably good at writing comedy. But I'm better at reactive writing. Like I don't think I'm that good at spontaneously writing a funny thing; instead it's gotta be some comment about a news item or a friend's FB post or whatnot. Ii'm probably not very funny tho. Do people really fax in jokes like you see on Larry Sanders show and shit? I don't even need to get paid; I have just wanted to be involved in TV/film since I can remember.

I've written comedy for a long time. Comedians are, by and large, the most depressed people you will ever meet. I've never worked on a sitcom or comedy show so I don't know about the faxing in of jokes. I'd guess emailing them in would be easier.

Forgive the sloppiness of this comment i'm on a conference call for work right now half-talking to them What shit do you write for? I have friends who are in the other creative depts of TV, too, like costuming, etc. Couple are writers embedded in the alternative scenes in LA and NY, making low budget indie, etc. A couple have had comedy central specials, though, but I'm not particularly close with them. Just chilled a bit, worked with them when I was an UG and they came to SXSW, gone to parties w/them etc. Not like hometown friends or anything.

I wrote TV movies for Fox and NBC for a few years. I also have overseen award shows and like I mentioned in another post, even worked on a roast at the Friar's club in NYC. I do a lot of the Speechwriting for Samuel L. Jackson. He was the roastmaster. That's why I was working on it. Well, on a constructive level, I think your post should have been funny. You can tell me all you want that you're funny, but the easiest way to prove it is to make me laugh. Then I'd be much more motivated to talk to you about writing comedy and punchlines in general because I'd believe that you might tell jokes that I can steal from you.

Films make an incredible amount of money and have a very long lifetime. I still get residual checks every few months for TV movies that I wrote 15 years ago. They're being sold to Bolivian TV this week and then Pakistani TV next. One hit film will profit hundreds of millions of dollars, plenty to afford the overhead. But if you don't have that hit film, it can be a problem. That's why so many independent studios go under.

Miramax is famous for their accounting. A couple of years after the release of Pulp Fiction, they were still claiming a loss on the film. The overhead isn't always obscene but sometimes acquiring rights and developing projects can be quite costly. The most amazing example of overhead spinning out of control was Mike Ovitz's last venture. I think it was called AMG. I had a front row sit for that one. He built a huge company capable of producing movies, TV series, repping sports figures as well as movie stars, but he had no product. And all the enemies he'd made at CAA in the 80s, like David Geffen, were dedicated to making sure that he didn't produce anything good.

I directed a film in New York City and had actresses throwing themselves at me for parts. The funniest was an actress who had been called in at the last moment because the woman we'd cast was sick. The replacement actress came in and was terrible. She completely overacted in the worst, shallow way, but we had to shoot the scene so we did. I kept trying to rein her in but she just wouldn't take direction. After we'd wrapped the scene, I was walking down an alley next to the building where we were shooting when she appears and walks up to me. She puts her arms around me and says "You know, I think I could really play this part." She was obviously offering to sleep with me for the part but I was confused because we'd just shot the scene. I pointed out to her that she already had the part and had played it when she got confused. She thought she was just a stand-in, an actress who's there just for the lighting crew and stands in while the scene is lit so the real actress can be rehearsing somewhere else. I explained to her that she wasn't a stand-in and we'd already shot the scene. I told her that was why I'd been yelling things like "action" and "cut". She got all excited but then got a sad look on her face. When I asked her what was wrong, she said "If I'd known the cameras were really rolling, I wouldn't have been so restrained".

For a spec to get the attention of the industry, it has to be fresh, yet conform to the usualy three act structure of Hollywood movies. It's even harder in the financing but look at it this way. You have 10 million dollars to put in a movie. That's real money. Are you going to give it to a first time director, trying to make a serious film, which will need perfect casting, execution, and a good run at festivals to make it's money back. Or you can make a vampire flick which will make back the 10m easy if it's just done competently. Which would you finance with your 10m? I made a short film on my own money which won a lot of awards around the world and had a theatrical run in New York as well as a rave review in the New York Times. Agents came after me when that happened so I never had to worry about pulling out the kneepads.

I read a script recently that sold on spec that was both perfectly constructed in a traditional manner, yet totally fresh and smart in it's content. So much can wrong in the making of a film that the scripts a lot of times get blamed for other problems. Three major things can go wrong in making a film that no amount of time in the editing room can cure. These are: 1. The script sucked and wasn't ready to be shot. 2. The film is miscast. 3.

When you see these things might close-up, you realize that it's amazing that any good films ever get made. It's extremely difficult to make a good film. To do it, you really need someone that has a vision of what that film should be and the power to enforce their vision. When that is lacking the script can go through 20 writers, all who have diffferent takes on the story and agendas, until it's just a jumbled mess. Then the actors and actresses come in and want to bring in people to rewrite their parts. I have funny stories about this but they'll have to wait until I come back later today.

I wasn't a Kill Bill fan but I still thought some of the cutting and shooting was amazing.

I graduated from Yale with a degree in Philosophy and moved to Boston to get a job and make short films. I did both. I made very short films and then decided to make a longer 30 minutes film. The film came out well and won awards all over the world. I used to get into the American Film Institute where I studied directing for two years. During that time, on the strength of the short film, I also directed a film for PBS and wrote a screenplay that got made as an independent film. When I graduated from AFI, I was given a two picture deal by a producer who had won five academy awards. It ended up that he knew little about filmmaking and lots about stealing credits. This was my first lesson about power in filmmaking, what it meant to have "Final Cut". The film got edited in a way that I hated and though it was a success in Europe and Asia, saw limited distribution here. This was completely depressing so I took a step back and wrote TV movies of the week for a couple of years for Fox and NBC. These were great to do. They only took a couple months to write and were like doing scales as a musician. My ego wasn't attached to them but it was fun to watch them on TV with 15 million other people. I felt like a leaf on the river of mass culture on those nights. Plus, I got paid about 80k a script, plus residuals, which are tens of thousands of dollars on these films. After a two year break I was ready to hit the feature market again so I wrote a catchy teen horror film which sold in two weeks to October Films. They wanted to use it as the first production under their Rogue banner. The catch was that they wanted someone flashier to direct it. So in typical Hollywood style, I was offered way more money to just write the film, rather than write and direct it. I decided to take the path of least residence and sold my directing rights for what turned out to be about half a million dollars. The film was shot but really screwed up by the director. It did well financially and has since become somewhat of a cult classic but it was still disappointing. At this point in my career, I was doing great but I was really fed up with the people in Hollywood and hassle of making films. I had gotten about five films made, done a bunch of production polishes of other scripts, and my rate was up over $300,000 a screenplay. But the people in Hollywood are by and large very nasty and selfish people and I couldn't stand working with them. I had discovered a business on the internet that fascinated me. I was one of the first players of massive multi-player games and was the very first person to realize that the currency in those games was worth real money and if you created exchange rates between the US dollar and virtual currencies you could arbitrage them like they the euro or yen. I set out to build the worlds first virtual currency exchange and it succeeded beyond my wildest expectations so I put Hollywood on hold and ran that business for several years. When it became apparent that to continue running that business I was going to have to open what were basically slave labor currency farms in China, I decided my break was over and I went back to movies. I currently have two films in different stages of pre-production. Who knows what will happen to them but both are looking like they could get made. I'm also going to teach a film course at one of the UC schools this spring on the construction of character in film. Feel free to ask for anymore details.

The first year program has 80 kids in it but the first year is really to weed out who has an actual chance to succeed in Hollywood and who doesn't. Very few do. At the end of the first year, AFI selects four directors to come back for the second year and make a film. That's where the real teaching happens. And if all four of those directors decide to write their own scripts, as I did, then no screenwriters at all from the program are involved in those projects. Or at least thats how it was when I was there. You think law school is a pressure cooker. Try being in a film school where everyone's ego is huge and only four people will make the cut.

Eventually most do but it can take years and years. True indy films that don't get picked up at festivals or industry screenings have virtually no chance of breaking even unless they were made for a miniscule budget. And they can still lose money even if they are because it is soooo expensive to distribute a film these days. This is why I've always felt the name "independent film" made no sense. If anything, its 'Dependent film". Independant film is an oxymoron IMO.

One of my scripts, a teen horror film, sold in two weeks and was in production 10 months later. Thats about as fast as it ever goes. The first film I had made was in pre-production and development for four years before it was shot. It depends on a lot of different things, like does the film need a name actor or actress in it. If it does, then it takes a lot longer, but with a horror film, which is not cast dependant, it can move much faster because you know you'll cast someone in the lead no matter what. We cast a virtual unknown in the lead of this horror film and the actress went on to be a big movie star.

I would tend to agree with that but what most people don't realize is that a huge percent of the population has no chance because they really do lack the one percent talent.

All the characters are transformed into some sort of spectacle, ending, of course with the final funeral. I think Written on the Wind is the best of them. But theres a small town trilogy he made in the late 40s, early 50s which is really worth seeing. Meet me at the Fair, Take me to Town, and Has Anybody Seen My Gal I think are the titles. They were Fassbinder's favorite films. Check them out if you haven't seen them.

Many times I got back to bed after they're gone. I usually write for a couple of hours in the morning. I usually smoke weed when I write. Then, depending on how the writing's going, I either continue in the afternoon for a little while or go off and do what I want. When a script is going well, I can end up writing 5-8 hours over 2-3 sittings in a day, but that's rare. On most days, I'll only write for 2-3 hours and for one sitting. I never write four.

They are always the most difficult to work with. Here's one of my fave actor stories: This happened about 15-20 years ago. Whoopi Goldberg was marrying the union organizer of his last film, basically a crew fuck. It was a lavish million dollar wedding for a marriage that had an over/under of three months. The under one. After cocktails in a receiving room, we were all shuffled into the main dining room and seated. I was seated next to Ray Liotta and his manager. Now literally 30 seconds after everyone is settled, the doors fly open and who should wander in waving to everyone but Sly Stallone. Sly was at the height of his career and all heads turn to him. Only a star of his stature could pull off such an entrance. Well Ray Liotta, who has starred at this point in Goodfellas and Something Wild, can't stand it that another actor can make an entrance that he's not a big enough star to make. So I have to spend the whole dinner listening to Ray Liotta berate his manager for not getting him better "action" parts and sticking him in those 'Low grossing artier' films. Here's a question. I'll read a screenplay or hear a pitch from anyone who can get this one right. What's the worst day of the year to be an actor's agent?

She has no qualms about doing what she wants, when she wants it and in her mind she always comes first. She has destroyed several marriages and made way more money blackmailing the men in her life then she ever has from any films in which she has appeared. Our actress sucks in the actors by being available and doing exactly what their significant others will not do. Her first and probably still biggest conquest was with this A/B list always movie actor. She destroyed his marriage and then tried to destroy his career. See, everyone thinks later that he was the bad guy which he was when he cheated, but then she made it seem like he cheated on her too so people would start to like her. Sh found a woman who agreed to have sex with the actor and our Blackmailer filmed it. Several times. She told the actor she wanted $1M or she would release the tapes. He paid, so she did not release the tapes. What she did do though was tell the world he cheated on her to get public opinion on her side. It did not work. Later, our blackmailer found an actor who fit her criteria perfectly. Married, wealthy and had children. Children were always her lever. Whether she was blackmailing a politician or a designer to show her clothes, she loves married men with children. They are the most vulnerable and the usually the most willing to go after her when she turns on the charm. The fact she is willing to do anything anywhere with the guys including offering up same sex people close to her and you realize she will stop at nothing. With the rich actor she thought it was going great and that she was going to get her happy marriage. Turns out though the actor had second thoughts. What he had not counted on was our actress having tapes of them together doing things the public would be aghast at and his wife would never forgive. She was being hard enough to deal with as it is. To see videos of him with our actress tied up and being whipped would be too much. The fact the actress had brought someone along who was also naked would have made things 100 times worse. $10M later and our actress pretty much gives up acting and everything else. Her total haul over a ten year period of blackmailing was about $20M which was enough to finance a company, keep her in luxury and now let her pretty much retire and do nothing.

There she was in one of her first movies and she owed it all to the guy she had known for awhile. He has touched A list himself and at the time was set to become a star but told his friend he could get her on his new movie but that she was going to have to have s*x with him. No problem. She liked him anyway and they had fooled around before so s*x was not an issue. He then got her invited to the set where she met some of the other actors and actresses. She was having a great time and then our A list actor told her that the director liked her and wanted to put her in the movie, but that he had just broken up with his girlfriend and maybe our A list actress would have s*x with the director too. A little more hesitant, but she did. The next thing you know she also had sex with one of the producers who said that he was working on a movie after this one wrapped and he would make her a lead. But, before he could make her a lead, he wanted to know he could count on her so he ended up having s*x with her and then the next day she heard him saying the same thing to another actress on the movie who would later become a solid B lister with a very unique voice and they went into a trailer to have s*x but emerged a short time later and the producer yelled to our A list actress that she got the part. Well, she got the part subject to her having sex with everyone on the first movie that the producer though it would be fun to see her with. The resident drug addicted actor? He thought it was hilarious to have her have s*x with that guy. He passed her around like candy and kept passing her around like candy, but he did give her the role he promised her. During the shooting of that movie the producer tried to play the same game with her, but she was already getting buzz nationwide from something else and she was immune. Not so for this other actress in the movie who was also brought on board by the A list actor from the first movie under a similar situation. Who knew he was such a pimp? Anyway, that actress lasted about a week being passed around and then overd*sed. Some say su*cide, some say accidental. What everyone agrees is that she had never used dr*gs before that week and being passed around like candy.

I've never quite gotten into Michael Powell as much as others have but I should watch those films again. I was just talking to someone about "The Lusty Men" a couple of days ago. I'm a huge Lang fan. Scarlet Street. Even Rancho Notorious. And I think Ford and Hitchcock are total masters. I actually have some interesting stories about both of them.

I just saw the shittiest print of The Lusty Men, going to see Party Girl tomorrow. Yeah, Some Came Running was probably my favorite film ever until I saw it in the theater last fall. Somehow I liked it better on tv. Maybe part of it is how much (non-ironic, it really is funny at points) laughter it got from the audience, which kind of ruined it for me. I don't just even like Tea and Sympathy, I like it more than a lot of his films. It seems to just get a bad rap because it couldn't be explicitly gay, but it's not exactly subtextual. He does such interesting things with color in that movie, you can read the whole thing as a clash between Deborah Kerr's preferred yellows, the boy's sensitive blues, and the preps' red outfits. Even the sets are color-coded for each character - e.g., Kerr's always hanging out in her yellow-curtained kitchen - and the script even seems to be aware of what he's doing. I think one of the first lines in the film is Kerr saying to John Kerr, "I need some more blue in my garden."

I'm a big fan of most of those great fifties noirish directors including Fuller. Naked Kiss is amazing. Shock Corridor is too. I can see Some Came Running anywhere. Shirley McLaine is so great in that film and the casting of Frank Sinatra in the lead is soooo subversive. I've always felt Minelli was a really underrated director. I just saw East of Eden recently. Kazan was a great melodrama director as well. Not as much a stylist but he really understand the genre.

She's bad. She's emotionally flat, says everything in a cliched manner, and indicates with her mouth and eyes rather than "acting". Thats just my opinion.

She's photogenic. She should lose some weight if she wants to be serious about acting. I would never tell anyone to become an actress. It's a life of constant rejection. Most parts that actors go up for they don't have a chance to get from the moment they walk through the day, usually because of their physical type. It's horrible. They've worked hard on the sides and really want the part but they just have no chance. Literally none.

So many people get involved in the script and everyone has to piss on it.

When I was first out of AFI, I got offered a job rewriting a script a friend of mine was shooting for Vestron in 3 months. They were offering me 25k which was decent money for me back then but I knew they'd drive me nuts for three months and I had my own project to work on so I passed. Well three months later, my phone rang again and my director friend was asking me again to rewrite the script but this time there was only 1 week until production started and they were offering the same amount of money. So I said 'sure' since they could only drive me nuts for a week. The director said that the script needed a whole new last 40 pages and it did. But what was really strange, was that on the title page it said "Original screenplay by Lem Dobbs. 72nd draft". Now I had never seen anyone admit to 72 drafts of something and Dobbs is a really good writer so something seemed off. They'd been through 20 writers. So I thought and thought and came up with an idea for them that I thought could work and save the script. I excitedly pitched it to them and there was dead silence in the room. Not a good sign. Then the producer looked up and said "thats what the original script was".

He was going to be an angel investor in the project. I'm not involved with OTOY anymore but you can see what it is at www.OTOY.com. And I met Ari because the article that someone cited in the New York Times. He read it and was interested in getting into internet finance and he actually asked for the meeting with me, not vica-versa. TV movies were shown almost 5 nights a week in the 80s and 90s. It was a huge industry that got too expensive. You have no idea in the world what a writer does. None. And yes, my price went to 300k a script because of the money I was paid on the horror film. You are always on your last quote. And I'm not sure what you mean about rewrites. They pay less. I didn't make that for a polish or a rewrite. And yes, I graduated from Yale in Philosophy Magna Cum Laude. I almost went to Law School. I applied to Yale but was wait listed and I decided to pursue film instead. And yes, I didn't recognize the inside of CAA. I haven't been in the building in over 10 years. I have no reason to go there. The only time I spent a lot of time in CAA was when an agent there wanted to represent me and when I was casting a film and taking a meeting about their client list.

Is your work at all philosophical? Do you ever use symbolism? How common is this in screenplays and does the industry even notice or give two shits? Also, how personal were your early works? You said you made a few 10 min films and a 30 minute film that was received really well. Can you elaborate on this? Who helped you make the films and what was the process? I just started writing a story based on my personal experiences and observations in a foreign country and bigger life issues in general. Right now it's just a short story for a small writing group I'm in. I enjoy it much more than practicing law, and found myself just flowing when I was writing it up. But the big question is, what is the point? What am I supposed to do with it? Shop it around to different agencies or publications? Internet blogs? This might be outside your realm of expertise but figured I'd ask anyway. I also have some indie film maker friends I was thinking about partnering up with but I guess if we were to turn it into a short film, we'd still have to find investors.

I've always searched for ways to make my scripts be about something and have a layering that most screenplays don't have. This has been both good and bad for me. The 30 minute film I made that launched my film career I financed myself for $8000. I got a grant at the end for an additional 10k but by that point, I really didnt need it. It was a film which starred three juvenile deliquent teenagers who lived in my neighborhood in the lead roles so it had a neo-realist feel to it despite the fact that it was obviously high artifice. It told the story of these three 17 year old kids who had a plan to beat the dog track and then use their winnings to buy alcohol and convince the local 21 year old neighborhood slut to come out drinking with them so they all can get her drunk and all fuck her. The plan doesn't work but the aftermath is pretty wild and unique. After the film was finished, I submitted it to film festivals and it won a lot of awards. It was also the first film ever to get a run at Film Forum in New York that had no distributor attached. After that, I had a lot of offers. I don't really know the publishing world well but I'd guess you need a literary agent to shop it.

Film directing is the toughest thing I've ever done because you have to be able to combine so many different talents. You have to have the artistic talent to really give a film a visual style that matches it's content. You have to be able to psychologically handle and lead a film crew which is a very strange organism. You have to be able to work with actors and actresses, communicating with them. And it's all being done under the stress of a running clock and hundreds of thousands of dollars being spent. It's a rare person who can direct a movie well. Any film school in the country would be thrilled to have just one of it's students a year go on to make a feature Hollywood film. The idea that 20 students could all go on to do that is absurd.

I was way too nice and didn't keep the department heads on short enough leashes. Consequently, they began to believe that they didn't have to listen to me and by the time I tried to reel them back in, it was too late. I have one friend who's probably made 15 independent films. He's an amazing writer and a visually very creative thinker, but he can't get performances from actors and actresses and so his films never transcend the scripts and he's never broken out.

The production designer did a set in a way that was contrary to what we'd agreed upon. She just changed her mind and decided to change the whole set without checking with me. So when I showed up on the day of the shoot, what I'd planned didn't match the set, but I had to shoot anyways because the clock was rolling and money was being spent. So we did the best we could.

I find good ideas hard enough to write up in English, much less trying in a secondary language.

I keep waiting for him to make a truly great film but he always seems to fall a little short. But I think during that Heat/Insider period he made some good movies. I always liked "Theif" as well.

Hollywood has always held it's place at the top of the movie industry by being technologically more advanced. Whether it was the introduction of sound, color, or even cinemascope, Hollywood has always maintained it's edge technologically. Hollywood is hoping 3D is no different than this. But yes, I think the films are becoming all gimicks but I don't think that about TV. I actually think that British and American TV are in a golden age. The writing, stories, and even characters are better than in features in many cases.

They are nothing short of comic geniuses imo. The other thing that constantly amazes me about South Park is their technical ability to tell a story. Their scripts are soooo solid from just a technical POV without even talking about the humor laid on the top of the structure. The structure in all their episodes is almost always flawless. My hat it totally off to those two. I'm way impressed with South Park. Five Stars.

And it doesn't include all the rewriting and polish credits that I have. I'm not sure what's even on it. Which films does it mention. I've had about 7-8 made. And finally, its just really fucking hard to get a film made. You people have no idea what a hassle it is and how rarely it happens, at least with a modest budget. I had one film that was slated to go as an 80m action film. This was a little over 10 years ago. We were cast with a start date of Oct. 1st. It was the story of a terrorist takeover of a covert biological weapons factory in Texas. We were all cast and ready to go. Then the Twin Towers got bombed. The next day the project was cancelled.

When one of his professors responded on a paper he handed in "Fred, you are in serious need of psychiatric help", he dropped out of Yale, went a little insane, and decided to become a homeless person in Brooklyn in order to atone for the sins of having attended Yale. He spent a winter in NYC around 1985 and told me he realized that his guilt was absolved when he was robbed one morning by a five year old girl. Was that you?

He wasnt actually robbed but the rest of the story is true. I knew some weird people at Yale. This guy lived in abandoned buildings in Brooklyn through two winters, hitched down to Tennessee, got caught robbing bread outside a convenience store, and was thrown in a state mental institution. When he was released, he told me that he'd lost the use of his left arm because of the drugs he'd been given. His father was a brigadier general. Something just snapped in him.

There just aren't that many parts. But there are always more male parts no matter what race, religion, etc, that you're talking about. There are very few minority actors, male or female, who have the star power to open a film and guarantee a healthy first weekend's box office receipts. And there are very few females of any race who can open a film. It's still a very male dominated business. I went out to dinner in NY recently with a few people, one of whom was Angela Bassett. She's an example of someone who's been able to keep going but there are just so few choice roles for her.

Hollywood is nothing but a huge mess. Set up? There's no set-up in Hollywood. It's complete ruthless anarchy. If I could change one thing, I'd introduce logic into the business. It's not ticket prices, it's distribution costs. To nationally distribute a movie today costs on average close to 30m dollars. Independent films just aren't worth it and usually can't recoup their production costs on a limited run. For every "Winter's Bone", there's a 100 to 1000 independent films that never saw the light of day.

Apparently Bruce likes to smoke pot with the younger generation so that he can feel young himself. My son said it verged on pathetic. LOL. Very few actresses or actors are down to earth people. They're completely self-obsessed and ready to exploit any power that falls their way. Sam Jackson's a great guy. Robert Forester is the classiest actor I think I've ever met. Harvey Fierstein is the actor I admire the most that I've worked with and Rosanna Arquette is a really down to earth fun person. Cameron Diaz seemed very sweet and smart but I don't know her well. DiCaprio seemed really smug the one time I met him. Jon Belushi might have been the surliest person I ever met. I spent a night at his table at CBGBs in 1979. Now I'm really dating myself. I know nothing about Will Ferrell but feel free to ask me about anyone you want. When I worked on the Tarantino roast in NYC, I worked with a lot of top comedians like Louis CK, Sarah Silverman, etc. I must say that comedians are the most depressed people I've ever met in my life. Even more so than lawyers. I haven't really studied the jewish influence in Hollywood but I think it's common knowledge that mainly jews ran the studios for years. I thought it was smart of Tarantino to make a film where the jews get to kill Hitler. Apparently he didn't have much trouble raising funds for that one.

I've loved every James Cameron movie I've seen (Avatar, Titanic, Terminators, True Lies, Aliens). War movies in general (Gladiator, Braveheart, and Black Hawk Down are my favorites). Beyond that, no real genre. I liked Forrest Gump, Contact, Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Star Wars original trilogy (obviously), Jurassic Park. Is there any cogent theme in my tastes?

Mimi called her manager at 5 am PST one Sunday in a panic. Her manager answered the phone thinking someone had died. Mimi was in NY and really upset. She'd decided to take a friend with her from NY to Paris and because the plane was crowded, the airline had bumped her from first class to business class. Her manager explained that it was 5 am in LA and there wasn't much that could be done and all Mimi could say was 'Well, it's 8 AM here'. That's the thing about actors, if it's 8 am where they are, then it's 8 am everywhere.

It cuts down on the questions. Well my job, writing or directing, you just do. You write something. But entry into the Hollywood world takes place in several ways if that's what you're curious about. On the business side, it usually involves being someone's assistant, working on a desk and getting to know all the other new people who are entering the industry. Hollywood is a totally isolated world. It only socializes with itself so any entry on a desk whether it's for an agent or studio exec is really just an entry into that whole social world.

That will attract an agent who will try to sell the script and put you up for jobs. But the screenwriting business is contracting. Hollywood is making far fewer films then they did 10 years ago.

You'd want to have anyone you knew give the script to anyone in the industry, with the intention of eventually having it submitted to an agent. If you know no one, the agencies do take blind submissions but it's harder to get signed from them. There are also screenwriting competitions. The thing is, if you really were to write a great screenplay, it will get noticed. People think its an easy thing to do, but it isn't. It's incredibly difficult to write something good and if you succeed at that, people will recognize it.

Features and TV shows are written in very different ways. But I'm sure the show spends at least that much on all the writers per episode.

You write one episode. You try to get the show to read it or an agent. You then join a staff of writers who write for a show and get a contract to write for usually one year but longer if you've got a track record.

One was "The Foolish Immortals" by Paul Gallico. I worked for a little while with Jay McInerney. I optioned a short story from Eldridge Cleaver of all people. This was when he was making his three legged pants. You just call the writer and offer an option. If it's not a hot piece of material, they'll usually say 'yes' because there's really no downside for them. If the film gets made, they get a lot of money. Hollywood and HBO are buying pilots that involve secondary markets and sources. They want barely anything thats completely original anymore. I'm hopping up and down too but it's not with excitement.

I think someone should do a movie involving bright, beautiful, doomed things on both sides of the fence (maybe have a love interest binding the two) So funny about HBO only taking secondary scripts, I have friends who claim to be 'adapting spec scripts on behalf of authors for HBO,' obviously they're not telling the whole truth (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1911613&forum_id=2#21014492) Date: July 4th, 2012 1:53 PM Author: Red insanely creepy menage mental disorder We didn't have to wait long at all. We drove right in. We'd only gone a mile when we came to a street corner where about 500 people were running around screaming, burning an Israeli flag. I thought there was probably LSD punch somewhere close by but I was disappointed once again. I liked the film Paradise Now which was about the West Bank. A lot of it was funny. Well a spec script means it's being written for free and no one owns the rights, so I'm not sure how you could be doing that for HBO. If you're working for HBO, they're paying you.

She's buddies with what's-her-name the former stripper turned screenwriter. You should read "Damascus Gate" by Robert Stone if you're at all interested in Israel. He wrote "Hall of Mirrors" in the 1960s which later became the terrible movie WUSA. But it's really well researched and has an Ecstasy scene at the end Was it true that someone dosed the crew of Titanic with PCP?

Your friend is probably being paid for little and doesn't own any of the screenplay rights. I'll check out Damascus Gate. The tour of Israel I took was fascinating. It was interesting to write a script that was set there in 1910. I never heard that about Titanic but if someone did that, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that it was James Cameron. You won't find a bigger control freak, not even in politics.

As a class assignment I once "adapted" a short story with a directing MFA student. It was a nightmare. This guy basically hectored me until I disgorged a super-compressed kernel of the story. I felt raped afterwards. Any suggestions/tips for writing screen treatments? Thank you so much for your gracious answers, by the way. I hope you don't feel violated or hectored by all of us (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1911613&forum_id=2#21014645) Date: July 4th, 2012 2:18 PM Author: Red insanely creepy menage mental disorder I feel violated by everyone I speak with. I even feel violated, at times, by people I don't talk to. So don't worry about the inevitable. Treatments are tough to give advice about because writers use them in different ways. I don't really write treatments. But the thing to concentrate on is the structure. People think writing screenplays is all about dialogue but thats just wrong. The dialogue is the fun, easy part. Putting together a solid three act structure is where all the work lies. That's what you want to work out in a treatment. The three act narrative structure and character arcs. Every writer feels raped after every film project they're ever associated with. Even short films. Don't lament over the inevitable.

I write novels (which are much flabbier than screenplays) and always got the same crit: static story. My agent finally demanded that I compress the timeline of my latest project. After that, my characters are starting to have emotions that affect one another, and out of that I hope a structure will emerge (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1911613&forum_id=2#21014733) Date: July 4th, 2012 2:31 PM Author: Red insanely creepy menage mental disorder Structure kills everyone. It's by far the hardest part. I've never written a novel but it requires the same kind of dramatic movement. It sounds like you're not really figuring out how your character changes in the course of the story or why each individual story beat is vital to portraying that change. That's where most story movement comes from. Even a narrated story about someone other than the narrator as the main character requires a narrator who has a personal reason for telling that other person's story. Focus on the final catharsis and the journey to that point. Everything else will fill itself in once you have that figured out. Happy July 4th XOXO. I'm off to a BBQ. But I'm not leaping up and down.

If you want to learn about feature writing, Syd Field's "Screenplay" is basically considered the industry bible. Writing TV is like writing a technical document in that all the act breaks have to take place at very specific script points in order to service the commercials. When I wrote TV movies it was all about mastering the form and I'm sure episodic is similar. It's just learning what dramatic beats the studio wants at the act breaks.
