@teenierussell: Hi everyone :-) #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:04 pm
@SiFoulaReel: Good evening to everyone, particularly those of
you I utterly failed to meet on Thursday! #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:04 pm
@TaroJ: Hi, I saw Fargo again recently even better 2nd time
around #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:04 pm
@eising: @scriptchat #scriptchat Fargo is just brilliant. The
typical 'Yah' they say every now & then are in the script too, on screen
they're epic.
April 1, 2012, 7:05 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel Hi there Simon, how are you
today? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:05 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ I had to take the VHS off the shelf to
watch this week - it's one I never got around to upgrading. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:05 pm
@LifesizeLD: Watched The Secret of Kells last night on
@Quinncy's recommendation. She's a good recommender that @Quinncy. Nice flick!

tape deck and my copy if Now 12 to get in the mood #scriptchat

@teenierussell: The Coen brothers grew up in Minnesotta and
really wanted to capture the people in the film #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:08 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell Oh yeah, still got VHS and
laserdisc going on here for certain titles. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:08 pm
@teenierussell: I personally think it really worked
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:09 pm
@DemonSerge: @teenierussell The Coen Bros. are awesome!
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:09 pm
@TaroJ: What's everyone's take on "this is a true
story" then admitting we made it all up #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:09 pm
@SiFoulaReel: Typical of the Coens (certainly at that time)
to start the film & script with a barefaced lie for their own amusement.
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:09 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel are you doing any writing on it
today or just the research? I plan on getting a couple of pages done tonight
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:10 pm
@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel @teenierussell laserdisc now your
talking, my kids are going to be so confused when they find my VHS collection
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:10 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel wow, laserdisc, I missed that
completely #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:10 pm
@teenierussell: @DemonSerge I haven't seen all there work
but like what I've seen #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:11 pm
@teenierussell: Didn't like that 'cause I believed it RT:
@taroj What's everyone's take on "this is a true story" then we made
it all up #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:12 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I just need to decide where
& what year to set it - this is the western - based on elements I need for
the... #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell ...story, and then I'll be
away. If I don't type tonight it will start tomorrow. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:13 pm
@teenierussell: Fargo is all about the characters, who was
your favourite character? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:13 pm
@TaroJ: Who would you say was the protagonist? In Fargo
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:13 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ Some of the laserdiscs have rotted but
our first buy - Speed in 1995 - still plays perfectly, as of last last year.
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:14 pm
@teenierussell: I'm hoping #scriptchat is quiet tonight
because everyone else is writing for #scriptfrenzy ;-) #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:14 pm
@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel wow now I'm worried for my DVDs
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:15 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ Hard to say. Marge is kind of our
identification, but she doesn't drive much of the action. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:15 pm
@TaroJ: @teenierussell I'm hoping it's quiet as I'm drunk on
the sun....and those beers and wine #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:16 pm
@OldDarkHouse: @TaroJ I'd forgive the Coen's for anything.
Besides it probably contains as much truth to other films carrying that claim.
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:16 pm
@eising: @teenierussell The thing is I can't choose who I
like the most. The whole cast just knows how to deliver the character right.
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:16 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ Ha! No worries, all our DVDs are still
fine. Some LD's had problems. Eraser died within five months of buying!
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:16 pm
@TaroJ: How About Jerry, he changes the most but it's a
downward spiral of desperation #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:17 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel @taroj I see Jerry as the
protag #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:18 pm
@teenierussell: @eising I watched a special feature on the
DVD and they talked about the casting process... #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:19 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell @taroj I was going to say Jerry
too, even if he's absent for major events. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:20 pm
@teenierussell: Phillip Seymor Hoffman auditioned for a
different role but they decided he would be perfect for Jerry. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:20 pm
@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel that might be for the best :-)

@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel @taroj You acn't help but feel
sorry for him and the mess he's created #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:21 pm
@TaroJ: Has anyone here tried to write in an
"accent" or regional dialect? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:22 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ Ha! I was 16, I bought everything!
(Also the BBFC cut the shit out of that originally on UK prints) #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:24 pm
@teenierussell: @TaroJ I tried to write a French character
speaking english, hard not to turn it into a caricature #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:24 pm
@eising: @teenierussell Bummer, that extra feature is not on
the BluRay I have. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:24 pm
@TaroJ: I'd be interested to see how they wrote Brad Pitt's
character in Snatch #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:24 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ No, but I did create a language for two
characters in my in-production web feature. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:25 pm
@teenierussell: @eising it was really interesting and talked
about how the idea originated and how it was very close to home for them.

April 1, 2012, 7:26 pm
@OldDarkHouse: @TaroJ That claim gives a movie a tone that
immediately makes everything seem more important. I can imagine it amused them
too. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:26 pm
@teenierussell: @eising I wonder if it's online? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:26 pm

found out? #scriptchat

#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:27 pm
@teenierussell: @OldDarkHouse @taroj for sure, I watched
thinking it was horrific, especially as it's a true story #sucker #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:27 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ Just found a draft of Snatch - Micky's
lines are written normally, doesn't say anything about it'll be played either.
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:28 pm
@eising: @scriptchat #scriptchat Just one off-topic
question: how to find a good name for your characters?
April 1, 2012, 7:28 pm
@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel wow it seemed so integral to his
character, guess it was a director / actor decision #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:30 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell subtitle it either, though the
correct real words were scripted next to the made-up version for intonation
help. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:30 pm
@teenierussell: @eising I sometimes go by meaning of a name
(at times ironic); other times look up popular names the yr a charct was born
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:31 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @eising That can take AGES. But it's key to
the script. If they don't have the right name, they won't be right...
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:31 pm
@OldDarkHouse: @TaroJ I never believed it was true. I read
the script before I saw the film & had an idea that they were having a
laugh. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:31 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @eising I think about who I want them to be,
and just pick hopefully quite individual names that seem to fit them.
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:32 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @eising And if it's ensemble, I try to make
sure none start too close together alphabetically, just to distinguish the
sounds. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:33 pm
@teenierussell: @eising also think about background and
status, middle-class, hippie, posh, etc... Name is given by parents...
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:34 pm
@teenierussell: @eising but they could also be known by a
nickname chosen either by themselves, a peer group, in prison. Can be tricky
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:35 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel I had two characters that
started with the same letter and found readers were getting confused, so I
changed it. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:36 pm
@Stuart_Hepburn: @SiFoulaReel @TaroJ #scriptchat IMHO Always
best to write as normally as possible, with a casting note at the beginning for
director.
April 1, 2012, 7:37 pm
@teenierussell: We're over half-way through #scriptchat
Talking about Fargo and writing in general. Come join us! #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:37 pm
@TaroJ: If you think naming a character is tough try naming
a kid #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:38 pm
@teenierussell: @Stuart_Hepburn @SiFoulaReel @TaroJ Is it a
decision usually made by the director? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:40 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I noticed it when naming
characters for one of these projects. Best to make them very distinct on the
page. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:40 pm
@TaroJ: @teenierussell @stuart_hepburn @sifoulareel I guess
a lot depends on casting #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:40 pm
@Stuart_Hepburn: @SiFoulaReel Usually predicated on casting,
and then on how far the director & actor want to take it #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:41 pm
@teenierussell: @TaroJ @stuart_hepburn @sifoulareel The Coen
bros have the luxury of writing the script as they intend to film #scriptchat

@teenierussell: RT @Stuart_Hepburn: @SiFoulaReel @TaroJ
#scriptchat IMHO Always best to write as normally as possible, with a casting
note at the beginning for director.
April 1, 2012, 7:44 pm
@Sandy_Nicholson: I'm back early from filming! But I have no
idea what's going on. Time to read back and/or guess wildly. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:45 pm
@Stuart_Hepburn: @teenierussell @TaroJ @sifoulareel That's
why Coen movies are v stylish &quirky. They have complete control
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:45 pm
@teenierussell: Did anyone predict the ending? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:46 pm
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson hi there Sandy! Chatting
about Fargo and other things. have you seen it? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:46 pm
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell I haven't unfortunately, so
I'm guessing I should close my eyes before the ending is spoiled. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:47 pm
@teenierussell: The miscommunication is already apparent
from the moment Jerry meets with the kidnappers #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:48 pm
@TaroJ: @Sandy_Nicholson @teenierussell Great film you
should check it out, dark but funny #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:49 pm
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson it's a great film and
script, I don't think there are any spoilers so far vv #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:50 pm
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson How have you been? how many
more eps to film? #scriptchat

#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:52 pm
@teenierussell: What do you think of the movie nights? Are
there any specific films you would like to talk about or would you rather have
genre #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:54 pm
@eising: @teenierussell #scriptchat Putting a guy in a wood
chipper is just so bizzarre that you couldn't predict it.
April 1, 2012, 7:54 pm
@SiFoulaReel: Sorry for being quiet - researching and
deciding which state to set my western in so I can start writing! #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:54 pm
@TaroJ: @teenierussell I like a specific movie as it
encourages me to read more scripts #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:55 pm
@teenierussell: @eising yes, that would have been hard to
predict, haha. I think the made up true-story intro gives a lot away
#scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:57 pm
@teenierussell: I think that's it for tonight :-) Thank you
all who joined in, you've been super. #scriptchat

attention #distracted #scriptchat

@imyjimmy: @jeannevb it takes about 2 years working fulltime
to get a screenplay right. am I right..? or am I kidding #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:05 am
@SarahAlexis4: I think the lean script and even the filming
style of the movie mirrors the stark world in which the story takes place.

character arc. #scriptchat

it's too damn quiet. Say something people. Shout out your opinion &
thoughts. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:08 am
@SarahAlexis4: It's like you go on a quest w/ Ree, as she
does all she can, exhausting resources to find her dad. It's like an odyssey
story. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:08 am
@SarahAlexis4: And you're rooting for Ree wholeheartedly. At
least I felt that way. #scriptchat

well-written. #scriptchat

a surprisingly canny 3rd act-similar to hitchcock not Micahael bay
April 2, 2012, 12:10 am
@SarahAlexis4: Were many seemingly small moments in both
action & dialogue that speak volumes of characters & world. Appreciated
the subtly. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:11 am
@SarahAlexis4: @Mr_Craig_G Yes, very dreary and bleak...

mouth" was the best line of WINTER'S BONE. #scriptchat

sense of his character quickly. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:13 am
@EnlightndFanboy: @jeannevb #scriptchat Jean-Do is a great
model of character... We see the transformation from diving bell to butterfly
April 2, 2012, 12:13 am
@chasffisher: My favourite thing about WINTER'S BONE was the
world it created. So vivid that every action, no matter how brutal, was
credible. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:13 am
@SarahAlexis4: I also like Teardrop's line to the Sheriff:
"Is this gonna be our time?" #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:13 am
@EnlightndFanboy: @jeannevb #scriptchat This is useful for
writing and thinking of character... We want all of our characters to transform
to butterflies
April 2, 2012, 12:14 am

about it until you mentioned it, but I didn't question any authenticity.

in the script to visuals like the trees, but think much more in actual film.

seeing young girl protag. be so brave, protective, and face such hard/big
decisions. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:21 am
@NYcanes: can a script contain every visual the writer wants
to impart, thereby removing all that control from a director? #scriptchat

not even know about it #scriptchat
