Delivered Fresh

Finished the new draft. Draft to submit Monday, to get feedback for the draft due Friday. Got that?

This draft didn't turn out to be that rough, actually. I paced myself so it wasn't as much a race against the clock as the last one. Hopefully they respond well to this so I won't have to scramble to address a million notes for Friday's deadline.

I've worked on this screenplay adaptation longer and harder than I worked on the original play! In fact, I've probably worked on this screenplay harder than I've worked on any piece of writing I've ever done. (Save for this blog entry; I put a lot of thought into this pile of virtua-dookie.)

I was convinced that ALIENS commercial used some strange CGI to get Sigourney Weaver to look that young, but supposedly they do most of that practically. Here's a blog entry that writes about the ads, so I don't have to.

And can you believe the brass balls on this Giuliani motherfucker?

"On 9/11 all he did was run. He got that soot on him, and I don't think he's taken a shower since."

Amen to that, brother.
