77th Academy Awards Red Carpet
Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, and not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.

Scriptwriters Showc-aaaghghhh…cough…

More in-depth blogging on the Scriptwriters Showcase later this weekend. I would write you a meaty post about the fine Benderspink panel or chatting with John Cox about the John Milius draft of “Sgt. Rock”, but, you see, I am moderating the panel on writing for videogames first thing in the morning, and I need to get some sleep, otherwise I’m likely to start badly hallucinating during the panel and no one wants that:

“And here on my left is Dave Taylor who is, as you can see quite plainly, a gigantic lizard. And beside him is Sean O’Keefe just back from another harrowing voyage in the North Sea – all hail Lord Osiris, may his name live forever! Yeow! The guns! Jesus God! The GUNS!!!”

No, we don’t want that. No, no.

I did learn one very important thing at the Scriptwriters Showcase today, and I wanted to give a heads-up, lest anyone attending tomorrow or Sunday make the same miserable mistake I did.

A wWd of warning, friends and colleagues:

However you may decide to travel to the Sheraton Universal for the remainder of this weekend’s showcasings, I must tell you – and I think it may be one of the most important factlets you are exposed to during these three days – …

… do NOT walk up this hill!

Learn from my mistakes. Take the free Shuttle bus. I beg you.

I beg you.

    I did it. I made it up the hill.

    Once.

    I coughed something alive up from the inner folds of my lung tissue…

    Then I took the shuttle.

    That is because you, bill cunningham, are very brave. And wise for not trying it again – unlike some of us.
