    After some thought, I've come to see the irony in the combination of this statement and the links provided, including mine.

    Next up: Ingmar Bergman

    I've been watching the miniseries version of Scenes from a Marriage. It has some of the best use of close-ups you will ever see.

    how indie is indie

    "While there are only five or ten generic Hollywood movies, there is no one kind of independent film. They come in as many flavors, sizes, and shapes as there are artists. That's why it is easier to say what independent films are not than what they are. I can tell you some things they aren't...

    what do you guys think of lost?

    Once the creators set an end date, the show was amazing.

    Ripped from the headlines!

    Did this clerk work at a Best Western by any chance? The jersey scene is a thinker. It would take, as you mention in the script, a bit of time to take off the shirt, particularly if she's hefty, which I'm projecting. Wouldn't this scene draw some interest? Does it take place in an alley or is...

    How a show that good got put on the CW I'll never know. .... The Last Temptation of Christ - 9/10 - Scorsese's spiritual poem. Beautiful. Down by Law - 8/10 - Jarmusch's take on the buddy flick and a spiritual yarn in its own right. Robby Müller shows, yet again, his mastery of black and...

    Nice work, Jeff. If you don't mind revealing, how did you manage the effects during the beginning and end sequences? They fit the mood perfectly.

    The MPAA is so $#%ing stupid!

    From the The Classification and Rating Administration (CARA) rulebook: The withdraw period is ninety days, but is being waived due to the promotion efforts mentioned in the article CF linked to.

    Rye Bread - Six Pages

    Yep, I get you now. EXT. ALLEYWAY - CONTINUOUS should have been EXT. CITY SQUARE - CONTINUOUS. That was a big misstep. Thanks for picking up on it. I'm with you on your other points, too. They'll be in the forefront as I tinker with it.

    Rye Bread - Six Pages

    Thanks SciFi. This was an experiment in writing an action heavy sequence. That information may have been helpful. I may be misreading your comment, but I mention Gabrielle stumbling out of the alley: Her fingers meet the grip of the .38. She lets her wits return before standing and stumbling...

    The note on rhythm, not page numbers, running your story was nice.

    First few pages... Compelling or Crap?

    This is a good start. Here's a few things I found. Try to keep the parenthetical use to a minimum. "Yelling" and "confused", for example, could be eliminated. Often, the punctuation and scenario will dictate the actions for you. You've only got to cap the names on the character's first...
