THE FUNNY HE-SHE LADIES! was a 2023 Academy Nicholl finalist. A dramedy based on the Boulton and Park crossdressing scandal of 1870-71. Their trial became a cause célèbre that implicated London’s high society and marked the first recorded use of the term “drag.”

Archuleta's book--about a famed bank robber and his improbable transformation into silent-film star--is a must-read for anyone interested in that period of movie history.

@DocOnco All the comedians here making fun of the "playing cards" bit have clearly never experienced Razz.

@sovietsoleri Judging from the movies listed on the marquee on the right, this must be 1981.

Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher’s ‘PIZZA MOVIE’ to premiere at SXSW. A group of college students go downstairs to their dorm lobby to get a delivery pizza. There’s only one issue: They’re insanely high on a home-made drug, turning their simple journey down two sets of stairs into a mind-bendingly transformative quest. Starring Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, Lulu Wilson, Jack Martin, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Marcus Scribner, Caleb Hearon, Sarah Sherman, Miguel-Andres Garcia and Justin Cooley.

@johnzaozirny @franklinleonard I've gotten this advice first-hand from several industry pros, including, oddly enough, a writer of mediocre but highly commercial screenplays.

@johnzaozirny @franklinleonard I've always thought that one of the functions of a manager was to help writers sort out which of their ideas are worth pursuing. It's easy to bumble around in the dark in that regard.

@franklinleonard @BumpyNight I guess I’m thinking in the scope of an actual career, beyond just “getting in the room.” The cool script can get you a meeting but unless you can show a clear commercial sensibility, they’re just going to move on to the next cool writer who can show that.

@Noirchick1 I saw this recently on TCM and Marie Dressler’s reaction to Jean Harlow saying….She read a book is classic comedy….

@SaveArclight Their standard policy is to ban people for pulling out a phone. What happens to people who cause a one-hour delay due to phone-related controversy? Firing squad?

@johnzaozirny @franklinleonard I also had it on good authority that making the Nicholl finals meant literally hundreds of script requests. That too seems to be a thing of the past. Trust me on this.

@johnzaozirny @franklinleonard It's also not at all obvious what constitutes a commercial concept. That's often determined by hindsight. Allegedly, LIAR LIAR--one of the most high-concept high concepts ever--was rejected for years.

@JasonKPargin I think it's more that many people confuse kindness with weakness and evil with competence.

Here's the thing: As a young boy, at some point you find out that the world hates "weak, but kind" much, much more than it hates "capable, but evil," because it figures the second one can be reformed into something useful to society. 1/3

@meishato ITT: A lot of people who "aced" an intro-level English course and concluded that the subject never gets more difficult than that.
