So perhaps I'm a little too prone to suggestion.
Let me explain. When I finish a new script, the first thing I do is start hurling it at close friends who are unafraid to tell me what didn't work and needs improvement. Earlier this year I handed one of my most recent to my friend John, who said that maybe it was time to try something different.
You see, 4 of the last 6 scripts I wrote involved protagonists learning a lesson while evading the menacing yet funny villains. Hell, three of those involved "Average guy's life is thorwn into chaos when" as their central theme. With The Very Long Night of Tyler and Selena, John felt I had perfected the menacing yet funny villains, and should thus stop and never do that again, as any others would only be a pale reflection. So, with the next script, I tried something different. And I must say, as existential plays about deconstructing spy thrillers go, it doesn't suck.
Then comes Monday. Jason (explaining who he is won't help you, so I'll just blaze forward) makes the following comment: "It's good that Jim Caviezel isn't playing Superman, because if he played Superman and Jesus, how would they fight?" He then all but dared me to write that script. So now, thanks to him, I've written a 20 minute one-act titled Jesus Vs Superman.
Oh, if any lawyers from DC Comics are here, please send any and all cease and desist letters directly to me, and not the good people at Suicide Girls. Thanks. I appreciate it.
Coming soon: Friday night and my love/hate relationship with the human race in general and dance clubs in specific.
Ta for now.
