ABOUT OUR MOTHER: Escaping Urban TrapsScreenplay Sickness Kills Hollywood; Vaccine Announced
October 31, 2006
You come out here to build cabinets, and you end up writing a screenplay. Car salesmen, busboys, hairdressers, parking valets, pretty people, all of them writig screenplays. Even in Indiana and Arkansas everyone is writing a screenplay. They are easy to write. The people who read them are practically illiterate, and the formatting of a screenplay would get you censored in your third-grade English class. It is a sickness. And I cannot simply drive out toward Nevada to escape the insanity: two million screenplays looking for a home, and 28 sold last month in Hollywood. So the time is ripe to hatch a plan. BadTV. Simmering for almost a decade, the shows could be a channel, self-surfing 24/7, offering nothing but relief from all the other shit on TV. Nudity, a sort of dreamcatcher for fratboys, and science, a salve for eco-yuppies, mixed just right in bite-size pieces to knock out the commercials for acid gas reflux relief and erectile dysfunction in the mainstream, which you have just abandoned to come here. BadTV is almost open. If you're on our mailing lists, you'll get all of our episodes, forever, free. There are 0 Comments for Screenplay Sickness Kills Hollywood; Vaccine AnnouncedAdd A Comment |
