Great Potatoes of Rock

A while ago, I got into the idea of painting famous rock stars as Mr. Potato Heads. Unfortunately, I then converted one of my masterpieces into a t-shirt using Cafe Press and they came down on me like I was trying to sell crack at Disneyland. They wouldn't let me make… Read full post »

The Return of The Bird

(Note: the following has several politically incorrect moments. If you're easily offended, please accept my apologies and stop reading now.)
 

Pat R. was one of the most popular kids at Laguna Hills High School. He's the "deer in the headlights"guy on the right. I have several photo… Read full post »

FYWB in da house!


In my closet is a yellowed, stapled stack of lined notebook paper upon which was written, in #2 pencil, the complete lyrics of the Fresh Young White Boys -- my rap group at Laguna Hills High.

I guess I should qualify that. We were a rap group in much

Reader's Pinky



My left pinky hurts and I just figured out why. My wife Sandie and I have been working our way through the Harry Potter series. She's in the middle of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I wrapped up Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix last night. I… Read full post »

An open response to Mary's "What's on your bucket list" post

grammie and me2

About ten years ago, Outside Magazine ran a bucket list-style article entitled The Wish List: 100 Ideas Towards A Bigger Life.

I have to say, as much as I love the bittersweet affirmation of a "things to do before you die" list, this Outside article really moved me b/

That looks exactly like Linda Blair!

A few months ago, I pitched the remake for a cult eighties horror film to a studio. The pitch went well, but I didn't get the gig.

I can't really blame anyone. If they didn't like it, they didn't like it, but still, I was a little bitter. During my research, I… Read full post »

Meet Me, Greet Me

I've developed a complex series of rituals that must precede any Hollywood Meet-and-Greet I attend. 

If you're not familiar with the Meet-and-Greet, for a screenwriter, it's a meeting you go to when a producer or studio person reads one of your scripts, likes it but can't/won't buy it and still… Read full post »

The graphic was especially helpful

I found this in my mailbox about two weeks ago.



Thanks, Shannon. Despite the fact that most of the plastic bags in our house have "Made in China" printed on them and the one official "Organic bag" in our canvas bag collection was made in California,/… Read full post »

You're the author, I'm just here to help

If you've ever wondered what it's like for a screenwriter to get notes from a producer, often it goes like this:

My wife Sandie, who's given me notes dozens of times, blanched when she saw this. "Oh my god. I sound just like that, don't I?" she asked. I didn't/… Read full post »

How's it going, um, guy?



I was walking Bruce the Dog this morning when I spied a neighbor leaving a luxury European car repair shop on Pacific Coast Highway. I immediately broke into a cold sweat because, even though we've talked about a dozen times, I can't remember his name -- or his wife's name for that… Read full post »

This war will be nuclar and kill millions of inosent victims
I found the following speech while preparing for my Mortified audition. The words "ROTARY SPEECH" scrawled across the top suggest that I crafted it my senior year for a Rotary Club contest. At least, that's what I told the Mortified people.

But as I transcribed it th
