Back when I started writing screenplays I found what I thought was a hero. He had a lot of verifiable industry experience and seemed interested in helping new writers get ahead. I was also naive enough to think that maybe his connections would be useful to me.

And so I joined… Read full post »

Today may be the dawn of the Republikings, and the start of the self-imposed serfdom of America.

 It is likely today that many Americans will vote out of fear, fear whipped to a frenzy by those who not only want to keep their money and power but want you to vote… Read full post »

I am looking out my office window and see:

The sagging, puddled rooftops of the former State Mental Institute long since changed to office.

The yellow-greens, the many shades of orange and red that mark fall in New England.

A towering chimney, silent and motionless against a blue-grey sky of drifting… Read full post »

What does the Tea Party Bund really want?

Control.

Its very simple - they want to negate your vote so they can take control of the country.

They will tell you they want to "take back" the country, but that's bullshit. 

Like a "terrible twos" child, they think that tantrums… Read full post »

Once upon a time I would have pitied the poor, poor, foolhardy smoker. Betrayed by the industry they supported, hunted down by laws, regulations and taxes wherever they go, the smoker stands alone, banished from a society he feels he never made, but that certainly made him.

Consider the plight of… Read full post »

You can't teach an old dog new tricks, or get them to remember old tricks apparently.

Today I spent much of my time reminding someone who has been in their job for the past ten years just what they're job is, and why they can't tell me what my job is.… Read full post »

Now, more than ever, there is a need in this country for common sense to prevail.

A church is planning on burning the Quran on 9/11. And, despite warnings from our own military that this will put soldiers lives at risk, they still plan to do it.

Why? Because they can,… Read full post »

After much consideration, and the failure of either party in our two party system to offer anything of substance, I've decided to found my own political party - THE HUMAN PARTY.

I will not be running for election, but THE HUMAN PARTY will support those candidates whose vision and ideas match… Read full post »

People, stay with me on this one: 

We just found out that News Corps, the parent company of Fox News, has donated $1,000,000 to the Republican Party. The second largest shareholder in News Corp is Prince Al-Waleed. 

Prince Al-Waleed donated $500,000 in 2002 to the Council on American-I… Read full post »

The first thing you have to learn is that articles on humor aren’t funny. And why aren’t they funny? Because the people writing them know as much about funny as Fox TV knows about tasteful programming – zilch, bupkiss, nada, or any other word that implies “stick with your day… Read full post »

I am an unproduced screenwriter, which is a bit like being a jet pilot who has never flown. I've written many things, some of which have come close to production but so far no cigar.

I thought I'd share some of my favorite, but not-too-well-received ideas.

(Note to producers with deep… Read full post »

Pardon me, but have you seen my brain? It seems to have wandered off on it's own about a week ago.

You probably noticed, gentle readers, that my blogs took a nasty turn for a bit. And you responded quite appropriately by staying away in droves. I said I didn't give… Read full post »

Everything you think you know about Batman is wrong.

Contrary to popular belief Bruce Wayne is not really Batman. I did some research into the origins, original intent and long range plans for the character and discovered some very interesting things:

The clue is in the title - Get Over It. 

Writer's block has happened and will happen to every writer. Accept that there will be times that the muse will not bop you on the head and say, "Write, my genius child!" If you accept now that there will be… Read full post »

This writing for me stuff is great, so I thought I do more. The great thing is that I don't have to worry about offending anyone because, frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

I feel like doing a mishegas so away I go:

Why the heck am I writing here? Why the heck does anyone write here? I mean, when I scan the open salon landscape I mainly see two things:

Moms sharing tips.

People seeking catharsis.

The first reason doesn't involve me. But Mom tips seem to get a lot of reviews and ratings.… Read full post »

Okay ladies, you are right - we just don't get it. But's that only  because you won't tell us what you want.
