@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! #scriptchat

@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel Oooh retro, I might have to dig out a tape deck and my copy if Now 12 to get in the mood #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:08 pm        



 
@brainyreviewer: RT @rdlln: Ton of great screenwriting related stuff in today's http://t.co/b6QIw13X #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:08 pm        



 
@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
April 1, 2012, 7:12 pm        



 
@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 :-) #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:20 pm

@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. #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:26 pm        



 
@gizegen: RT @Mentorless: Billy Wilder Ten Amazing and Always Current Advise to Write http://t.co/k4mMb2J7 #screenwriters #scriptchat
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        



 
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel like a secret language? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:27 pm        



 
@TaroJ: @OldDarkHouse did you feel cheated at all once you found out? #scriptchat
April 1, 2012, 7:27 pm        



 
@eising: @TaroJ Here you go: http://t.co/VeyhKiQH #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
April 1, 2012, 7:42 pm        



 
@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
April 1, 2012, 7:51 pm        



 
@teenierussell: 10 minutes left of a very quiet #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
April 1, 2012, 7:58 pm        



 
@teenierussell: There will be no #scriptchat next Sunday as it's Easter! #scriptchat

@SarahAlexis4: @jeannevb I saw it a while ago, but read the script yesterday. Really enjoyed both the movie and reading the script. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:01 am      



 
@jeannevb: Just fyi, this will most likely be our last USA Movie Night bc the attendance is pretty low for them. Homework isn't popular :( #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:01 am      



 
@DimitriDavis: @jeannevb REALLY good book. Absolutely loved it. #scriptchat

@pulptone: .@jeannevb watching #TheKilling tonight so I won't be on #scriptchat but Winter's Bone is one of the best scripts out there.
April 2, 2012, 12:04 am      



 
@NYcanes: why was "Winter's Bone" singled out for study? #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:04 am      



 
@TheWriteScript: Hey all. On vaca. Gonna lurk. #Scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:04 am      



 
@jeannevb: Let's get this chat rolling... I'm going to need everyone to chime in, as I'm multitasking tonight. THoughts on film? #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:04 am      



 
@jeannevb: @pulptone agree. Great script/film. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:05 am      



 
@SarahAlexis4: There was such a clear goal. Obstacles at every turn. Intriguing world. Interesting character dynamics. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:05 am      



 
@Bolajiowrites: Watched it but i was not paying much attention #distracted #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:05 am      



 
@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. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:06 am      



 
@pulptone: @jeannevb book is sitting on my shelf too #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:06 am      



 
@rdlln: Ree has a very clear goal and Teardrop a great character arc. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:07 am      



 
@jeannevb: OK, this is what is tough about movie nights... 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
April 2, 2012, 12:09 am      



 
@chasffisher: Looking forward to an international (via Skype) co-writing meeting with @KhrobEdmonds. The next draft awaits! #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:10 am      



 
@Mr_Craig_G: @SarahAlexis4 Those were the strongest points, I think. It looked dreary and bleak. Family/neighbor dynamics were well-written. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:10 am      



 
@NYcanes: At first she gets turned down for help, then miraculously unbeknown to the viewer people agree .... n #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:10 am      



 
@LordBronco: @jeannevb #scriptchat Good the bad the Uglt has 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... kind of like her situation and the outlook on things. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:11 am      



 
@EnlightndFanboy: @jeannevb #scriptchat Doing a twitter-tary of The Diving Bell and Butterfly... See #divingbell
April 2, 2012, 12:12 am      



 
@MarqRobinson: "I told you to shut up, once, with my mouth" was the best line of WINTER'S BONE. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:12 am      



 
@SarahAlexis4: @MarqRobinson Very telling line. We get a 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      



 
@SarahAlexis4: @chasffisher That's true, I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it, but I didn't question any authenticity. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:14 am      



 
@NYcanes: I loved "I said shut up once already, with my mouth" #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:14 am      



 
@EnlightndFanboy: @jeannevb Start off locked in their worlds, have that world deconstructed, and then emerge #scriptchat

April 2, 2012, 12:15 am      



 
@kim_garland: Agree w @SarahAlexis4 v specific goal gave it a great through line, then fleshed out w Odyssey journey full of interesting chars #scriptchat

@Mr_Craig_G: @chasffisher Research was well-done. I've been in areas like that and it's legitimately shown through dialogue & character. #scriptchat

@SarahAlexis4: Makes good use of ticking clock with losing the house. Needs to find then prove Jessup's death. Escalation of situation builds. #scriptchat

@stacy_chambers: After watching Winter's Bone, I felt later I should've picked up sooner on Ree's dad being dead. #scriptchat

@LordBronco: #scriptchat So do you write a single spec script or do you write a series these days?

@jeannevb: Just an fyi, to those tweeting me about random movies, we're talking WINTER'S BONE tonight #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:17 am      



 
@Jamie_LD: @jeannevb I finally made it. Thanks for covering for me. #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:17 am      



 
@SarahAlexis4: Was also kind of a slight mystery behind it all w/ piecing together what happened to Jessup. Get pieces about snitching, etc. #scriptchat

@SarahAlexis4: @NYcanes I think there was a bit of mention in the script to visuals like the trees, but think much more in actual film. #scriptchat

April 2, 2012, 12:20 am      



 
@SarahAlexis4: I think 1 thing I was most drawn to was 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
April 2, 2012, 12:22 am

@kim_garland: Good lesson was you don't have to avoid popular genre elements (ticking clock, definitive achievable goal) when writing drama #scriptchat

@jeannevb: @Jamie_LD if it hadn't won Sundance, we'd prob not even know about it #scriptchat

@stacy_chambers: @Jamie_LD The script was great, but so understated. I think it being an adaptation of a hit novel may have helped? #scriptchat
April 2, 2012, 12:29 am      



 
@rebelshea: Granik optioned the book herself I believe. She was so passionate about it she didn't want it getting away. #scriptchat

@SarahAlexis4: @Jamie_LD Yes, definitely far cry from big budget, big genre type of movie. Glad it got made. Shame that many missed it. #scriptchat

April 2, 2012, 12:38 am      




@kim_garland: @SarahAlexis4 Yes, absolutely, tons of similarities. I think Ree is a char that would actually inhabit the Hunger Games world. #scriptchat
