@golgaloth I dreamed of people meeting in an alley and taking a drug that turned them into dogs. The next day on my lunch break I scribbled down the screenplay for the short film that remains my biggest success. #inspiration #screenwriting https://vimeo.com/44708809?share=copy&fl=cl&fe=ci

Tell me about some of your favourite movies of the 20th century, that:
A) you have watched or rewatched ***relatively recently***;
B) still stand up / aren't super problematic from the POV of 2026 ---- and why you (still) love them!
No laundry lists, please; a short, thoughtful answer is far more helpful & more interesting.

Took about 2 hours to turn a treatment (very rough outline that was actually different in key ways) into an 11 page screenplay.
Feels good.
Not sure yet if there is a feature version that could be good.
It is called:
Badman

Dear #Hollywood
It's been 29 years since #GrossePointeBlank and I think maybe *bing bing bing popcorn* the a-okay not weirdo should hit an arms dealer in Ottawa for one last job that he has doubts about but feels obligated to carry about, and it only makes sense for Dan Aykroyd to "help avoid uhh.. embarrassing overlaps."
Martin Blank had his doubts about hitting a Canadian and when he arrives, his concerns are correct and he pulls out all the stops to help save all Canadians.
No one dies, convenience stores are shot up and we all learn that friends are important.

You wrote something. And then you rewrote it. And you got it in a place where you think it’s decent. Maybe even really good? But then a voice in your head says, “Or maybe you’re delusional and this sucks!” So what do you do?
This week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on GETTING FEEDBACK.

Lorna Moon, she liked the ring of it,
transformed from Nora Helen Wilson Low.
Names need to have a resonance, a fit
and this could take her where she yearned to go…—Kay Clive, “Lorna Moon”

“The story of how Marion & Kate Corbaley tricked the studio executives into paying Lorna Moon $7,500, while reviving Marie Dressler’s career, should be a legend in the history of female networking in the motion picture business”

As well as scriptwriting, Moon achieved critical success with her 1929 novel DARK STAR – “an uncompromising picture of rural life… it explores the precarious social structures, sexual instabilities & surface hypocrisies that shape its confines”. It was adapted for the screen as MIN & BILL (1930)

“I’m always either convinced that nobody can write as I can – or that I’m the world’s louseyest writer”
