Day 85

So we got the script started. That's good. I wrote a little bit of it. Maybe 2 pages. But I think it's good so far. I've been watching Soapdish the last couple of days. Working on the 4th time watching it to be honest. I forgot how great this movie really is. It's great in that horrible soap opera way. And Mr Robert Downey Jr is so awesome and hilarious in this movie. The cast is fantastic. And getting to see a lot of quirky, adorable Robert inspired the bit of script that I did write. :-)

Day 79

So we're getting the first Rom/Com script under way. We gotta get a time line and figure out what can be played out and what needs to be glanced over but I think it'll be good. And once we get this one figured out and fine tuned, then we can start on the next one.

There are some things that we have to do a "see what's available" before we can decide on what it should be. Which songs we can use in the movie, whether or not we can get hold of a certain car, that kind of thing. I think it'll work out, though. Even if we can't get the car we want, we can work with whatever we can get.

We're also planning on Indio playing a younger version of the character meant for Robert. And a little joke about the fact that Indio is so much taller than Robert. It should be funny. At least to us it is.

Day 76 Part 2

So we've decided we're going to end up with three Rom/Com scripts. One is going to be a modernization of the movie A Philadelphia Story. I have to rewatch it and Cally's never seen it so that one's going to have to sit on the back burner for the time being. That's a movie that I would really like to modernize though. Although I doubt there will ever be a cast as brilliant as Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart. I love that movie, really.

I'm not sure if the Philadelphia Story modernization is going to be for Robert but I want to do it anyway. We've got two other Rom/Com ideas for Mr Downey Jr. I think they'll be good.

Day 76

So we've decided to put "Side Effect" on the back burner for now. I need to do some reworking of it and so forth. The main problem is that I'm having desk top issues and my desk top is where the main copy of "Side Effect" is being kept, but that was not the deciding factor in putting it on the back burner. We're both still kind of stuck on where it needs to go next. So we're going to be working on a romantic comedy next. Or at least an attempt at one. I think I can be pretty funny at times but I don't know if what I think is funny would be funny to everybody. We'll just have to see what comes of it.

Day 65

Work is sucking out my soul again. That's all for now.
