On a couple of occasions I've done near page one re-writes on other peoples scripts. I looked on the writing fee as a bonus. But it was a still a bit galling when the buy out went to the original writers.English Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686490554533309973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22720759.post-1158287938511625252006-09-15T03:38:00.000+01:002006-09-15T03:38:00.000+01:00And Dave of England...I think I know why you warne...And Dave of England...I think I know why you warned me about bringing up the blogging to the show (or at least I think I know - please enlighten if I missed point) - but I was actually trying for a preemptive strike as I am 95% sure one of the producers already reads the blog (based on his unique location and a frequent visitor) so thought if I put it on table and was up front, they might be cool about it.<BR/><BR/>That said - they boned me today and dumped a major revision in my lap so it might be difficult to blog entertainingly and honestly if I'm pissed.<BR/><BR/>Oh well...wcdixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511429457006302795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22720759.post-1158287489148014692006-09-15T03:31:00.000+01:002006-09-15T03:31:00.000+01:00Juratest wisdom/humour bites go transatlantic...Bu...Juratest wisdom/humour bites go transatlantic...<BR/><BR/>But I will counter that having a good/great script can drown in the b.s game. How many movies/shows have we seen and wondered: how did that shite get made? Or, how many good scripts have you read and wondered: why 'isn't' this getting made? <BR/><BR/>Not to overkill the bad b.s. and good b.s. thingeroo (too late now), but as long as it don't involve outright lying...there does need to be an element of generating some hype/excitement b.s. in order to get a lot of things made.wcdixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511429457006302795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22720759.post-1158275703192490562006-09-15T00:15:00.000+01:002006-09-15T00:15:00.000+01:00I'd say a good script is the best possible BS.I'd say a good script is the best possible BS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22720759.post-1158266618302146852006-09-14T21:43:00.000+01:002006-09-14T21:43:00.000+01:00I just read over my answer to Will.
