Euro #Scriptchat Guest: Chris Jones

Chris Jones is the writer of The Guerilla Film Makers Handbook. When it hit the book shelves, it was an immediate success with Indie film makers. The book has since spawned two updates, an American edition and a third book, The Movie Blueprint. The books have helped and inspired over 100,000 new film makers to date.

Chris has also made three genre micro budget features – first was an action thriller starring Harrison Ford’s kid brother Terrance, The Runner. This baptism by fire soon led to a second feature film, White Angel, a serial killer thriller (US title Interview With A Serial Killer) starring Peter Firth. White Angel later ran as the centrepiece film at the London Film Festival and picked up a bunch of international awards at festivals. The third micro budget feature was Urban Ghost Story, a gritty social realist paranormal tale set in Glasgow, Scotland which he wrote and produced.

After some years teaching and writing books, Chris relaunched his film making career in 2007 with the ambitious short "Gone Fishing". The film was entirely funded with £50 ($100) donations and Chris has kept an extensive blog about his adventures at www.chrisjonesblog.com

Gone Fishing was Oscars shortlisted in 2009.

Chris will be Euro #Scriptchat's guest on Sunday 3rd October at 8pm BST. He will be open to questions and discussions about low-budget screenwriting. So if you're interested in taking your future into your own hands and if you want to write something that will get made, come along and join the chat. 

Transcript for MISERY and Sex - September 26, 2010

#Scriptchat TOPIC:  MISERY and sex

We normally have the same topic on both EURO and USA chats, but occasionally international holidays don’t coincide.  Tonight, we merged misery with sex.  Oh yeah, you read that right.  EURO talked the script MISERY and USA talked writing sex scenes and the use of profanity.  You can imagine the heat coming off the screen in the States.  Grab some ice and enjoy! @jeannevb

EURO moderator: Mina Zaher, @DreamsGrafter

USA moderator: Jeanne Veillette Bowerman, @jeannevb

EURO CHAT:  MISERY

7:01 pm                DreamsGrafter:                EURO #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK ... we're talking MISERY tonight. Who wants to kick off? ;)

7:01 pm             scriptchat:             RT @jeannevb: FYI,EURO #scriptchat talks MISERY... USA chat talking sex scenes/profanity. Don't confuse MISERY w sex. #justsayin

7:01 pm             dramadj:             I just think this Misery script is a SCREENplay... you know. The author is a cutter, too #scriptchat

7:02 pm             DreamsGrafter:             #scriptchat RT @twatterer: Misery is great example of not being *too* nasty to ur protag: the ankle break was actually amputation in novel >

7:02 pm             DreamsGrafter:             #scriptchat RT @twatterer: Goldman said "They hated her, loved the film. If she'd cut his feet off they wld've hated her *and* hated movie."

7:03 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @dramadj: I just think this Misery script is a SCREENplay... you know. The author is a cutter, too #scriptchat

7:03 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @dramadj Can you elaborate? #scriptchat

7:04 pm             davidpbaker:             RT @DreamsGrafter: EURO #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK ... we're talking MISERY tonight. Who wants to kick off? ;)

7:05 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Btw, I wrote an article on page of MISERY: http://bit.ly/8YPeAM Methinks it's quite perfect. #scriptchat

7:05 pm             dramadj:             @DreamsGrafter Its "Cut To:" everywhere. I know directors and cutters who would break out in tears reading this. #scriptchat

7:05 pm             LisaFromNYC:             Which draft did you all read? I read the earlier draft #ScriptChat

7:06 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @dramadj Don't you think that was more the style of screenwriting back then? i.e. style has evolved? More white space? #scriptchat

7:07 pm             DreamsGrafter:             1989 draft, which one did you read? RT @LisaFromNYC: Which draft did you all read? I read the earlier draft #ScriptChat

7:08 pm             dramadj:             @DreamsGrafter That would be my question. Was screenwriting more back then? #scriptchat

7:09 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @dramadj Definitely. Have you read a Hitchcock script? There's so much in there, a screenwriter today cldn't get away w/. #scriptchat

7:09 pm             LisaFromNYC:             July1989. I skimmed the *scene* (due 2 the horror) but I got the impression his foot was amputated. There was blood & he said it #ScriptChat

7:09 pm             rabbitandcrow:             Seems impossible to talk about the Misery script without talking about Goldman's book on adaptation. #scriptchat

7:09 pm             Sofluid:             #scriptchat Script v. Film? I liked the intensity of the script, which was lost a little in the film, tho appreciated additions to film...

7:10 pm             DreamsGrafter:             So who has any thoughts on the portrayal of Annie? How her character develops? #scriptchat

7:10 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @rabbitandcrow: Seems impossible to talk about the Misery script without talking about Goldman's book on adaptation. #scriptchat

7:10 pm             dramadj:             @DreamsGrafter I'm getting the point. My opinion is: if the author does so he better be a really good cutter, too. #scriptchat

7:10 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @rabbitandcrow I haven't read his book on adaptation. Does he talk about his process w/ Misery? #scriptchat

7:11 pm             Mockwriter:             @DreamsGrafter Thanks for the link for the Misery Script. Another to add to the pile. #scriptchat

7:11 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @Sofluid I thought the script was more intense as well. #ScriptChat

7:12 pm             sweettweenie:             will be avoiding #scriptchat tonight as didn't get to read script or see movie, so no spoilers. Might join in the US sex talk instead ;-)

7:13 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @DreamsGrafter I read the novel not long ago & Annie is really overwhelming in the book. Frightening. #scriptchat

7:13 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Mockwriter Definitely, a must-read. A perfectly crafted thriller script. Enjoy! #scriptchat

7:13 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Why do you think the film made the changes it did? RT @LisaFromNYC: @Sofluid I thought the script was more intense as well. #ScriptChat

7:14 pm             dwacon:             RT @scriptchat: RT @jeannevb: FYI,EURO #scriptchat talks MISERY... USA chat talking sex scenes/profanity. Don't confuse MISERY w sex. #justsayin

7:14 pm             LisaFromNYC:             There were a lot of "cut tos" but after a while I didn't see them & script then felt seamless w/o slugs #ScriptChat

7:14 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @rabbitandcrow Did you see @twatterer's tweet about if Annie went too far, the aud wld hate her and thus the film? #scriptchat

7:15 pm             jeannevb:             I apologize for not pimping MISERY wld be 1 wk early on EURO. Was in NYC this week & totally crazed. #scriptchat

7:15 pm             jeannevb:             @sweettweenie yes, join the crazy Americans w our sexy talk :) #scriptchat

7:16 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @DreamsGrafter I think the situation was horror enough & they didn't want to hurt the pro beyond repair. Too painful 4 audiences #ScriptChat

7:16 pm             Mockwriter:             @DreamsGrafter Seen the film, but, as of yet, haven't read the script. #scriptchat

7:17 pm             jeannevb:             fyi, article on @storydepth via @DreamsGrafter on the 1st page of MISERY http://tinyurl.com/2wbwla2 #scriptchat

7:18 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Mockwriter You'll find the script interesting re choices made for film. #scriptchat - i.e. how far you can push your audience.

7:18 pm             Sofluid:             @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat I can see why they changed the pills from addiction to scheming - added more suspense to scenes with Annie...

7:19 pm             Loglinecreator:             Sept. contest now closed. Sharpen those loglines for Oct! http://bit.ly/9Njre7 #scriptchat #screenwriting

7:20 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @LisaFromNYC Totally and as @twatterer said, if the aud. hates Annie, they'll hate the film. #scriptchat

7:20 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @Sofluid: @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat I can see why they changed the pills from addiction to scheming - added more suspense to scenes with Annie...

7:20 pm             Sofluid:             @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Can also appreciate y they changed amputation 2 breakage, as subsequent screenplay scenes then beggared belief...

7:21 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @DreamsGrafter I did. Annie is quite likeable in the movie vs. loathesome in the book. Misery is written as an entertainment. #scriptchat

7:21 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @Sofluid: @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Can also appreciate y they changed amputation 2 breakage, as subsequent screenplay scenes then beggared belief...

7:21 pm             Mockwriter:             @DreamsGrafter The scene that makes the lasting impression is the "ankles." I don't think it was OTT, just enough #scriptchat #scriptchat

7:21 pm             chained:             RT @scriptchat: RT @jeannevb: FYI,EURO #scriptchat talks MISERY... USA chat talking sex scenes/profanity. Don't confuse MISERY w sex. #justsayin

7:22 pm             Sofluid:             @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Appreciated the scenes diversifying with Paul being let out of the room on occassion... Tho took away intensity..

7:22 pm             LisaFromNYC:             If I recall, in the film the waitress (end) says "I'm ur biggest fan", right? Not in the script. #ScriptChat

7:23 pm             Sofluid:             @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Definitely agreed with omitting VO, which for the most part I found confusing & distracting in screenplay...

7:24 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @rabbitandcrow I read tht they weren't even sure to do the breakage but they had to do something to create tht level of horror. #scriptchat

7:24 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @Sofluid: @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Definitely agreed with omitting VO, which for the most part I found confusing & distracting in screenplay...

7:24 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @LisaFromNYC: If I recall, in the film the waitress (end) says "I'm ur biggest fan", right? Not in the script. #ScriptChat

7:24 pm             LisaFromNYC:             Sometimes the unseen is more powerful to our imagination. Movie: we hear crunch (power of sound) Script: we see blood #ScriptChat

7:25 pm             chained:             #scriptchat how much was script for misery sold for ? Or how much was writer paid to adapt the book ?

7:25 pm             rabbitandcrow:             Goldman's adaptation book goes into great detail about his process of adapting Misery. #scriptchat

7:26 pm             LisaFromNYC:             RT @Sofluid: @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Definitely agreed with omitting VO, which for the most part I found confusing & distracting in screenplay...

7:27 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @LisaFromNYC Yes, the number one fan was added in the film. Thought that added to the horror of being a writer. ;) #scriptchat

7:27 pm             jeannevb:             @rabbitandcrow which book was that? I'll link it on blog #scriptchat

7:28 pm             lizziside:             RT @RichardDiaz: The trailer for my film Distortion was screened y/day at the SAC SciFi Horror Show http://youtu.be/d5ycn2jJQPg #scriptchat

7:28 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @rabbitandcrow Could you share what some of his processes might be. Need to read that book! #scriptchat

7:28 pm             Sofluid:             Added it to my wanted list! RT @rabbitandcrow: Goldman's adaptation book goes into detail about his process of adapting Misery. #scriptchat

7:30 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @DreamsGrafter I agree. I like that added line at the end. It's become classic #ScriptChat

7:30 pm             DreamsGrafter:             What about the use of flashback re Bell? Did that jolt you out of the story/suspense? #scriptchat

7:30 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @jeannevb I can't remember the title. Don't have Amazon in front of me. "More Adventures In The Screen Trade"? #scriptchat

7:32 pm             jeannevb:             @rabbitandcrow Adventures in Screen Trade http://tinyurl.com/28p6gv9 More Adventures in Screen Trade http://tinyurl.com/2cb7qcr #scriptchat

7:32 pm             jeannevb:             @rabbitandcrow will link both :) Thanks! #scriptchat

7:32 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @DreamsGrafter yes, the flashback did take me out. Momentarily confused #ScriptChat

7:32 pm             DreamsGrafter:             To continue fr @Sofluid's point, so glad Paul wasn't an addict in the film. Annie's hold over him wldn't have been as powerfu. #scriptchat

7:33 pm             rabbitandcrow:             Goldman goes thru source material multiple times, underlining the cinematic moments with a different colored pencil on each pass #scriptchat

7:33 pm             emventker:             RT @MishaPolonsky: RT @jolenejahnke @scriptchat @jeannevb: #scriptchat TOPIC SUNDAY: We're talking sex. Writing sex scenes & handling profanity.

7:34 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @LisaFromNYC Apart from voice over, how else cld we know about his life before the accident, do you think? #scriptchat

7:34 pm             Sofluid:             Agreed! RT @LisaFromNYC: @DreamsGrafter I agree. I like that added line at the end. It's become classic #ScriptChat

7:35 pm             jeannevb:             Both Goldman books now linked in our blog www.scriptchat.com #scriptchat

7:35 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Misery script has flashback and voice over: both no no's in the spec writing world. Did Goldman get away w/ it bc he was Goldman #scriptchat

7:36 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Or did either serve the story ideally? i.e. voice over was taken out in the film. #scriptchat

7:36 pm             RaidPoint:             @DreamsGrafter "What about the use of flashback re Bell? Did that jolt you out of the story/suspense?" was ok.served its purpose #scriptchat

7:36 pm             DreamsGrafter:             I must read. RT @rabbitandcrow: Goldman's adaptation book goes into great detail about his process of adapting Misery. #scriptchat

7:37 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @rabbitandcrow But didn't Reiner have a big say in adaptation. i.e. King wanted only Reiner to direct the move. #scriptchat

7:37 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @RaidPoint: @DreamsGrafter "What about the use of flashback re Bell? Did that jolt you out of the story/suspense?" was ok.served its purpose #scriptchat

7:38 pm             RaidPoint:             @DreamsGrafter not no-nos as such. just that newbies tend not to use them correctly. but if done well n add to the scene; ok #scriptchat

7:38 pm             LisaFromNYC:             I like flaws in pros, but addiction not nec. He needed 2 overcome what SHE was doing 2 him. His superstitions were enough flaw #ScriptChat

7:39 pm             RaidPoint:             @DreamsGrafter : major drawback was the script-style with the million camera directions. assume was per development notes. #scriptchat

7:39 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @LisaFromNYC Totally agree re Sheldon's addiction. #scriptchat

7:39 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @RaidPoint: @DreamsGrafter not no-nos as such. just that newbies tend not to use them correctly. but if done well n add to the scene; ok #scriptchat

7:39 pm             Sofluid:             #scriptchat I think too much happened in screenplay, too cluttered. Thought progression much tighter in film.

7:40 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @RaidPoint Good point! They did take the voice over out but the flashback was a clean way to intro back story: short 'n' sweet. #scriptchat

7:40 pm             RaidPoint:             @LisaFromNYC what superstitions? the writing ritual? #scriptchat

7:40 pm             LisaFromNYC:             Maybe if the flashback had a "1 week earlier". idk. For some reason I didn't realize it was a fb at 1st. #ScriptChat

7:41 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @Sofluid I agree. Sometimes the description was too dense. Pacing was lost. #scriptchat

7:41 pm             chained:             #scriptchat I think misery needed more humour , any script reads better with some humour in it

7:41 pm             RaidPoint:             @Sofluid actually prefer the script to the film. apart from the dead boring first 8-9 pgs, think it was well executed imho #scriptchat

7:41 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @RaidPoint Yes, the writing ritual of not making copies. He learned that lesson after his manu was burnt #ScriptChat

7:42 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Sign-posting the reader? RT @LisaFromNYC: Maybe if flashbk had a "1 week earlier". I didn't realize it was a fb at 1st. #ScriptChat

7:42 pm             RaidPoint:             @Sofluid but then its a personal taste thing. like scripts that are fluid and dont have 2 much lull #scriptchat

7:42 pm             LisaFromNYC:             There was a lot of passive voice. But I figured it was the style back then #ScriptChat

7:44 pm             lizziside:             All the best again from all of us at #scriptchat RT @aaron_skewediri: The #mystery begins in 20mins #westernx @WesternXTheShow

7:44 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @DreamsGrafter superposition. Maybe I was lost b/c I was adjusting to "cut to" at the onset lol #ScriptChat

7:44 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @LisaFromNYC: There was a lot of passive voice. But I figured it was the style back then #ScriptChat

7:45 pm             RaidPoint:             @LisaFromNYC true its a neg thing, but doesnt almost everyone have such weird spsttns? dont view as neg. but get ur point #scriptchat

7:45 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @LisaFromNYC That's so true re passive voice. I didn't pick up on it but at same time thought pace was lagging. #scriptchat

7:45 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @lizziside: All the best again from all of us at #scriptchat RT @aaron_skewediri: The #mystery begins in 20mins #westernx @WesternXTheShow

7:46 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @DreamsGrafter Also addiction wouldn't play well visually - especially for a character who lies in bed the whole movie. #scriptchat

7:47 pm             RaidPoint:             so did anyone also feel like dropping the script b4 hittin pg 10? was 2 annoying n boring b4 it picked up with a bang after pg 9 #scriptchat

7:48 pm             RaidPoint:             what I also really dig for the talents, is the fact that no specific xter descriptions were given. just general look #scriptchat

7:49 pm             dramadj:             @RaidPoint No, i think for character intr. it's kinda okay. Nod top-notch but okay. #scriptchat

7:49 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @rabbitandcrow So So true. Completely internal! #scriptchat

7:49 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @rabbitandcrow: @DreamsGrafter Also addiction wouldn't play well visually - especially for a character who lies in bed the whole movie. #scriptchat

7:49 pm             rabbitandcrow:             Misery reminds me how great Goldman's villains are - Szell, The Superposse, that Bad Guy from The Princess Bride #scriptchat

7:49 pm             filmutopia:             #scriptchat Sorry I'm late. Was watching Stalker with fiance. She'd never seen it.

7:50 pm             DreamsGrafter:             10 more mins. on EURO #SCRIPTCHAT ... Get your last min. thoughts on MISERY across. :D

7:50 pm             RaidPoint:             we get that sheldon is not a youth, or annie isnt a beauty etc, but its wide open for the casting dirs. great for getting talent #scriptchat

7:50 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @DreamsGrafter passive voice bogged it down. much could've been cut. He cradles the manu>He is holding the manu like blah blah #ScriptChat

7:51 pm             DreamsGrafter:             @filmutopia Hi Clive, it seems like forever since our paths have crossed. We're talking Misery tonight. #scriptchat

7:51 pm             DreamsGrafter:             RT @rabbitandcrow: Misery reminds me how great Goldman's villains are - Szell, The Superposse, that Bad Guy from The Princess Bride #scriptchat

7:51 pm             filmutopia:             #scriptchat Misery? Not sex and bad language? Damn, I prepped for the wrong fucking topic! ha!

7:51 pm             Sofluid:             @RaidPoint #scriptchat I also prefer script - more intense/haunting. Script good but film made some necessary changes to make it work/appeal

7:51 pm             janetvaneeden:             RT @DreamsGrafter: Btw, I wrote an article on page of MISERY: http://bit.ly/8YPeAM Methinks it's quite perfect. #scriptchat

7:52 pm             RaidPoint:             @LisaFromNYC very true. thats why the first 9 pgs sucked. read very amateurish. #scriptchat

7:52 pm             dramadj:             @LisaFromNYC It's all very detailed, yes... kind of confused me, but this was 1989... #scriptchat

7:52 pm             rabbitandcrow:             @DreamsGrafter @LisaFromNYC Wonder if he's using passive voice to emphasise victimisation. #scriptchat

7:53 pm             RaidPoint:             @Sofluid true. just personally preferred the script cos not bound by the actors "acting". #scriptchat

7:53 pm             LisaFromNYC:             inters pt. idk RT @rabbitandcrow: @DreamsGrafter @LisaFromNYC Wonder if hes using passive voice to emphasise victimisation. #ScriptChat

7:53 pm             DreamsGrafter:             We'll make it clearer nxt time re EURO & US. Sorry! RT @filmutopia: #scriptchat Not sex & bad lang? Damn, I prepped for wrong fucking topic!

7:55 pm             filmutopia:             #scriptchat - I've nothing useful to say about Misery. I am, however, a mine of info on profanity. I shall save it up for next time!

7:55 pm             RaidPoint:             @rabbitandcrow might be. but its against sw 101; show dont tell. was a bit too much telling. #scriptchat

7:55 pm             DreamsGrafter:             Do you think? RT @rabbitandcrow: @DreamsGrafter @LisaFromNYC Wonder if he's using passive voice to emphasise victimisation. #scriptchat

7:57 pm             filmutopia:             @lizziside perhaps we could stand at the back of the class and mutter rude words! #scriptchat

7:57 pm             LisaFromNYC:             @filmutopia Kathy Bates doesn't like profanity. #ScriptChat

7:58 pm             Sofluid:             @RaidPoint #scriptchat Opening wasn't too bad, crash was exciting. Page 9 not too bad in a 135 pager - within first 10 per cent so passable

7:59 pm             janetvaneeden:             @DreamsGrafter Great thanks Mina. Sorry checking in so late but have 8 am deadline for tomorrow. YIKES! Far from there yet. :) #scriptchat

8:00 pm             DreamsGrafter:             EURO #SCRIPTCHAT next week will have @livingspiritpix guesting and discussing low-budget screenwriting with us! Woo hoo!

8:00 pm             dramadj:             I just thought of real funeral services for maga characters in japan. It's kind of Misery becoming real. Who would've thought? #scriptchat

8:01 pm             RaidPoint:             @DreamsGrafter nice work :)! #scriptchat

12:04 am             JohnMiewald:             I think this topic is squarely all about knowing your target audience. #scriptchat

12:04 am             dizzydentfilms:             Years ago, I got ths note from Slamdance coverage: "Anal sex on page 45. rlly?" I guess they weren't as edgy/indie as I thought. #scriptchat

12:04 am             GinySassenach:             I guess I never thought that the script writer had to go into detail for sex scene? #scriptchat

12:04 am             covermyscript:             'cause you read my work @KageyNYC. ;-p #scriptchat

12:04 am             jeannevb:             So how do you all handle sex scenes? How hot do you get? #scriptchat

12:04 am             SissiePoohSOD:             on the rare times when I write profanity, I do my best to make sure it's appropriate. #scriptchat

12:04 am             eyamie:             Okay so first question: is a rom-com a good place for a bukkake scene? #scriptchat

12:04 am             jeannevb:             *grin* RT @sam_gurney: The closest Ive done to writing a sex scene was an exploding boob scene. Thats hot, right? #scriptchat

12:04 am             SharkGoddess:             I find it hard to write one without it reading cheesy.. #scriptchat

12:04 am             circlesoffire:             I think like most elements of a script, the sex and profanity have to be motivated, and help move the story along. #scriptchat

12:05 am             readerproof:             Profanity is often a must for realism. Sex scenes however usually aren't needed. #scriptchat

12:05 am             eyamie:             On a serious note - I hate using profanity and find something better whenever I can. #scriptchat

12:05 am             GeneDoucette:             #SCRIPTCHAT on the road, but let me say the first sign you're a new writer is the overuse of profanity.

12:05 am             covermyscript:             @eyamie i can't believe ou can spell bukkake. #scriptchat

12:06 am             eyamie:             @covermyscript I am a cunning linguist #scriptchat

12:06 am             Samuraiko:             @jeannevb I generally TRY to write them with a modicum of dignity. Hot, passionate, and intense, yes. But not debasing. #scriptchat

12:06 am             jtabergas:             I don't use profanity either. RT @eyamie: On a serious note - I hate using profanity and find something better whenever I can. #scriptchat

12:07 am             GeneMarie1:             @jeannevb Even better! Implied sex! #scriptchat ... a nice fade to black. #scriptchat

12:07 am             KageyNYC:             In WIP unexpected sex is inciting incident. Want to include some description, hint at hotness the char's exp, but not overdo it. #scriptchat

12:08 am             mdaystory:             @michael2172 Most scripts i've read don't delve into detail w. sex scenes. 1 or 2 lines of big print. Crew & actors do the rest. #scriptchat

12:09 am             GeneDoucette:             #SCRIPTCHAT profanity is like salt. You can add it later, but it's hard to take it away once too much has been used

12:09 am             blankethouse:             @circlesoffire my last script I have a you couple making out, but that's about it, it moves the story along well #scriptchat

12:09 am             Samuraiko:             @The_Jodi When you think about it, sex is an inherently hilarious act - awkward, messy, hair everywhere, and surreal. #scriptchat
